SlitheSlivier.1908 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Since today's patch the vol magic sickle doesn't grant volatile magic. The axe and pick do. I've harvested a dozen nodes in wvw testing it out. A friend with it also had the same findings. A friend with the UNBOUND magic tools said those were all working. I have the same results in the guild hall too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vavume.8065 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I have the same issue. To be clear I'm using the volatile magic sickle bought for karma from the dragonfall vendor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasty Qwerty.3482 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I have the same issue - volatile harvesting tool doesn't grant VM. I asked a guildie to replicate this but their vm sickle works just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they don't have the one bought from dragonfall and instead use the upgrade components for it...i forget what they are called but essentially sigils/runes/infusion for gathering tools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny.8296 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I have the same issue but with the Frostbitten sickle. Like the original poster indicated, the ax and mining pick work as expected. The salvaging sickle you can by at Armistice Bastion works. As mentioned here, this all happened after yesterday's update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veprovina.4876 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 The unbound sickle is the same. Doesn't give unbound magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny.8296 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 :( The sad part is that no one from Arenanet is replying to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laja.2516 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I can just confirm it's the same for me. The sickle doesn't generate magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelian Ravenwood.4130 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Experiencing the same problem; I did submit a bug report via GW2 Also confirmed this is only for the consumables (my infinite VM harvesting sickles still give Volatile Magic) Update: ANet has replied to my website bug report. They have stated they are unaware of the problem and are requesting all players experiencing this issue to submit a bug report in-game to connect the user data. You can also submit a bug report through the forum, but in-game will contain more pertinent information (as it links to the instance, your account, etc...).

Zaxares.5419 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 On a somewhat related note, the Glyph of Scavenging (33% chance to return Fine mats) is also broken. I've tested it on open world nodes, synthesizers, and node farms, and despite harvesting probably in excess of 100 nodes, not a single one has returned a Fine mat. Other glyphs such as the Watchknight, Logger, Unbound or Leatherworker still work correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omega.7918 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 My unbound harvesting sickle doesn't give any unbound magic also. I reported it a number of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesione.9412 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Just tested mine. All three unbound magic tools are giving unbound magic. That's going to potentially be a nightmare to debug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnius Magius.8091 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Have any of you checked to see if the appropriate glyph is installed and it is not installed on an expendable tool by mistake. It's not hard to loose track of glyphs now that they can be used on any harvesting tool. Tools will just harvest with no glyph installed. Even the infinite tools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's going to potentially be a nightmare to debug. It really shouldn't be BUT it would make things much easier if people reporting included node type, map, tool, tool skin, glyph. "Does not work" is usually not a great report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prancybald.5809 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I was sent here by support as it's a thing that would need to be noticed by the dev team and not the support team, it seems to be an account related problem, as opposed to the tool / node / etc. Playing with multiple family members or friends, on a LAN sitting right next to each other, exclusively I have had this issue out of the group I usually play with. We've walked around entire maps together, in a party, in the same instance, gathering the same nodes and everyone but me gains Volatile Magic when foraging. For example, if we walk around Queensdale, everyone but me gains Volatile Magic on every gather. I gain Volatile Magic only when mining or logging, but never from foraging. We'll then change to Plains of Ashford, with the same result. (everyone but me gains on every gather, I gain never if the gathering type is foraging) All of us are using https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Volatile_Harvesting_Sickle None of are using a skin or unlimited gathering tool. None of us are using a glyph. None of the nodes this issue arises on are gatherable from multiple times. The issue arises both when gathering from a "node farm" and when gathering from a standard node. The Pick and Axe that are intended to reward Volatile Magic when gathering are working correctly on the same account as the Sickle is not working on. The issue persists across every character on that account. The issue persists on new characters created on that account since the issue arose. If I change accounts on the same computer, then gather a node, gathering with the Sickle rewards Volatile Magic as intended. Switching back to the "problem" account on the same computer and gathering the same node rewards no Volatile Magic. All of us are (usually) using a tool purchased from the karma vendor in Dragonfall, specifically this vendor https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Crystal_Bloom_Quartermaster but, the same issue happens when using the Volatile Harvesting Sickle purchased from other vendors, that vendor is just the most convenient one to get to. edit: I have also included this information in a bug report, and linked support to a video of the issue happening in case it was useful, but was directed by support to also post on the forums in addition to the bug report.

Andy Pritch.2075 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I've also been sent here (forums) via a support ticket. Posted in another ticket also (https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/119673/bug-glyph-of-the-scavenger-not-working?) but I suspect these are related. First response in the support ticket was stating it was down to % odds, but I've done well over 50 harvests so far, since I've been monitoring more closely, and not a single instance of bonus yield. At 50 attempts this is a 0.00000020125% chance of it occurring I think? As soon as I swap the glyph to logging or mining - it works fine. Only seems to be occurring during harvesting. Various nodes used, both home instance and in the open world. Currently have the Choya harvesting tool equipped with the Glyph of the Scavenger.

Gq Fresh.1764 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 It's been weeks since this has been reported and I've seen no comment from Anet. What's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adzekul.3104 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Additionally, the Frostbitten Orichalcum Harvesting Sickle is also not giving snowflakes, but the equivalent mining pick is. I can confirm that my (permanent) Unbound Magic Harvesting Blast + Glyph of the Tailor seems to be working as normal/expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carcerus.9107 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 My Volatile Magic Harvesting Tool works fine, but my Unbound Magic Harvesting Blast no longer collects any unbound magic. My Unbound Magic Logging Pulse and the other Volatile Magic tools all work fine. All are gem store bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Pritch.2075 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Still an issue as of 15/12 post wintersday patch. x15 attempts in home instance with Glyph of the scavenger on Choya harvesting tool, 0 bonus materials. Swapped glyph onto mining tool - x21 attempts , 7 bonus materials exactly in line with 33% chance. To validate other posts, glyph of forester does work on harvesting tool though.
