Each time I've done significant farming there, I've joined a squad pre-meta and then slogged through all the events before finally shifting into harvesting mode to tackle all the pods. That's what, maybe an hour investment overall to get a crack at 60+ pods and with my harvesting rate I'd be lucky to see 50 ore from that. I know there are a few on the non-meta map, but it's maybe only about 5 to 8 or so, and it takes some time to find and reach them all. Due to my schedule, I'd much prefer a more schedule-friendly setup where maybe you can invest say 15 minutes to get a crack at 15 pods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But (returning to the OP's question), that's exactly why ANet isn't likely to add this to the home instance: they want to maintain the incentives for visiting DS, not to undermine them.

Kalendraf.9521 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Another option I'd be happy with is lifting the 3 max per day spending rate on Guild Commendations at the Guild trader. The only thing I buy with commendations is crystalline ore, and I earn them way faster than I can spend them since crystalline ore comes up so infrequently (1 to 2 times per month, expending 3 to 6 commendations per month) compared to the rate at which you can earn guild commendations (~48 per month) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mewcifer.5198 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 It would be possible to make the noxious pod in the home instance not give crystalline ore. I guess I would be okay with that. It just feels weird having the other map things and not the noxious pod. My home instance is crying out for completion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
