LucianDK.8615 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 im trying to understand where this glyph is useful, as you essentially give extra bonus drops for going faster. So far the only place i could imagine it being useful is WvW, when you have to quickly harvest nodes in an outpost youve claimed and catch up with the zerg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpelion.4562 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 People who park their alts at a node farm will appreciate the time savings, though I prefer the Glyph of Bounty for extra strikes instead. For the average user who is just roaming the world gathering things they see, it is definitely not what you should be slotting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucianDK.8615 Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Yes, i prefer glyph of bounty for sure too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gehenna.3625 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 When I gather I prefer to not get into combat because I want to be able to remount again right away. Particularly when mobs have CC skills. So being able to get out of there before they can hit you is an advantage. Personally I gather mostly with my guardian who generally blocks the first hit, but that's one thing I can think if why you might want to gather faster... to avoid combat.

Kunzaito.8169 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Farming home instance & guild halls. I want to be done with those as quickly as possible. If I could afford 3x industry glyphs I'd definitely get them for the time savings (I just swap one now). Plus extra-strike doesn't even work there (probably not on WvW synthesizers either).

I run Industry on my axe and pick. It's mostly for when I do map clears for mats. I'd say having both set that way and using the mounts/guardian it feels I cut my harvest time by 50%... except when I get side tracked by an event for Karma.

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I like the glyph of industry because I'm impatient. Waiting for animations to finish... it means I end up skipping nodes, because it's a distraction from doing other things. With the right skins, it can be twice as fast. With Coffee food and mounts, faster yet. If, however, you are a dedicated farmer with a nice, calm (some might say: brain dead) route to pick up all the rich ore Ascalon has to offer, then you are more likely to prefer a glyph that offers bonus mats of some sort.

DaedHead.4586 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I got my first Glyph of Industry for free when they were released and not too long after that I bought two more so I could have one on each of my tools. Although I agree it's not directly beneficial, I love the time savings so much that I can't ever see myself using a different glyph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bounty Glyphs work on WvW Synthesizers. On things that are single strike you can get your usuall 2 -3 extra items. Ore/Wood (Multistrike) you only get 1 Ore/Wood extra. Never seen 2 extra strikes on it. In the home instance bounty work on the gardenplots, which is very usefull if you are crafting the mini primers.

Biff.5312 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I see people every day in the LS3 maps who are there to farm nodes. Often they are VERY interested in how quickly they can work through the map. Especially when you're doing things like collecting berries and re-logging on several toons to repeat the process, there are some players who value speed over all other considerations.

LucianDK.8615 Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 Im starting to get addicted to them. The sheer speed with them makes everything else feel painfully slow. Using the unbound set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drecien.4508 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 It's great on trees cause they can take longer and you can farm and remount before you are attacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shep.4026 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I'd actually love to have them, but it wasn't until I started gathering unbound/volatile magic at the same time that I also started taking gathering seriously and picking up every node I come across.

Skotlex.7580 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I mostly couldn't bother to gather all my home nodes until I was fully decked with industry glyphs. I may forego some additional gathering rewards, but I am fine with that if I can get back to doing other stuff 50% faster. :D I've never cared about gathering tool skins, but a comment above made me think that I may change my tools if it means faster gathering. So, for those that want even more speed, what would be the best skins to combine with industry glyphs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvesting: consortium and molten gather twice as fast. With a glyph of industry the speed is insane. For logging I don't think there are any that innately gather faster. Unbound logging gives a forth strike on rich and guild nodes, or rather the last strike counts twice. Unbound mining strikes four times, which means that you can be finished a little sooner on open world nodes by canceling, but I find it very unreliable. On rich and guild nodes it means your done after three full animations, by gathering 4-4-2 instead of 3-3-3-1. Would I recommend buying an Unbound set to then put industry glyphs in or just for the skin? No. Would I recommend buying Unbound set for the extra Unbound magic? Yes, at least if you have LS3. Also, it's not much, but Unbound harvesting fully gathers guild nodes in one animation. Would I recommend buying consortium or molten? Depends. I plan on buying one of the two and applying the skin to my volatile and Unbound harvesters to get the speed and the currency and then I'll slap a glyph of I don't know yet for extra gathering results in the original sickle.

Consortium and Molten sickles are the fastest for plant harvesting, although Unbound harvests three strikes at once (good with Glyph of Bounty). Unbound logging tool is slightly faster than all others (except possibly for volatile,) but it's not terribly noticable. It also has a double-gather on the third strike, making it once again work decently with Glyph of Bounty as it will instantly harvest a bonus strike. All mining pick skins have 4 harvests over the duration, and are overall comparable in harvest time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neural.1824 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Favorite use for the Glyph of Industry (outside of standard harvesting use): Large Norn + Mad Scientist Logging tool + Glyph of Industry. My biggest regret with the Glyph of Industry is that I'm so used to it that switching to anything else seems painfully slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't remember the numbers from when I tested but I think golem is actually fastest if you interrupt it. You can interrupt it because the actual gathering happens about halfway through. On the other hand you can also interrupt the consortium and molten a bit before it fully completes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
