I'm in bitterfrost frontier.How do I get the magic gatherer daily?

There are orbs in a few places, easiest to reach is probably in the water below the Kodan Sanctuary.

You have to collect unbound magic for this. They look like a sort of blue floating orbs. You can find them in trees on mushrooms , on some spots under water (i.e. in the deep hole at heart npc at Dragon's Teeth Hot Springs). They reset daily 24 hour after you last collected them (just like the berries).

There's a particular spot, northwest of the Kodan Sanctuary before you hit the hill, where a hole in the corner has 5 orbs right below the surface. From there you can gather another 5 in a matter of moments and re-emerge from one of the adjacent holes. This daily takes about 20 seconds if you follow that route.

That's my recommendation. There are three (maybe four?) spots that have 3-5 orbs a top each other (or nearly so), so pick the right route, you can get 10 in 10 seconds or less.

There's a cooldown on the orbs that mimics that for certain open world chests (e.g. the ones at some JPs) and T6 & T7 nodes. As a general rule of thumb, orbs (and the others) will be restored at reset, **if** (a) at least 18-23 hours has elapsed† _or_ (b) it's a new instance of the map. (Swapping characters works, too.)

 

† there is strong evidence that the amount of time is less than 23.01 hours and more than 18. Some people are convinced it's 23. I've only been patient enough to confirm it's no less than about 18, no more than 23, as it's really annoying to check even one example, never mind enough to confirm the theory.

Sixteen hours after reset,and nothing.Frustrating to say the least.Not suprising so many players give up when one continually has to jump through hoops to get something simple done.

I logged in this morning and went lumberjacking.All the trees can be chopped up again,hours before reset.Are there known bugs in bitterfrost that anet couldn't give a monkeys about?

Most regular gathering nodes below t6 (tree, non-rich ore) have a respawn time of approx 1 hour.
