phoenixwil.6071 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 It happened a few hours ago in the middle of collecting volatile orbs using my skimmer in thunderhead peaks. I was following the orb trail then bam, orbs disappeared. It’s been 7 hours since that and still no volatile orbs nor dragon crystal nodes (farming branded mass). This is on every season 4 map. I expect to see lots of volatile orbs so I can grab with my skyscale. I see none for the last 7 hours. The only two exceptions: the rifts work as intended to expose that rift’s volatile orbs; the dragonfall pre kralk area show some (to be clear these are the tiny red ones that don’t give credit) but can’t reach it due to damage. No other volatile orbs exist. This is weird. Same for dragon crystal nodes in thunderhead keep; disappearance happened at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocki.4931 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 There is a daily limit to how much magic you can gather. Not sure about the nodes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixwil.6071 Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 I dont think I gathered that much. I woke, ate breakfast, got some volatile while searching for dragon crystal nodes then they (both) disappeared. I don’t feel like I didn’t anything different than any other day. I’m in the middle of crafting Vision so it’s not like I was farming orbs. Dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All LS map nodes have a per account daily limit except winterberries which are per character. > @"phoenixwil.6071" said: > I dont think I gathered that much.

They have other additional weird behavior where they DO reset at reset IF you get into a different instance than the one where you originally gathered them.

phoenixwil.6071 Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 I’ll test that at rest/timer. What about the dragon crystal nodes? Same thing? Then again, I didnt get that many to reach a cap if there is one. Since yesterday, I needed about 100 branded mass and I’m about 60 short. If there is a cap, that’s like 40 branded mass per day which doesn’t make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teratus.2859 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Yeah sounds like you hit the daily cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Branded Mass: Each account is able to harvest 25 nodes per day. Volatile Magic: Volatile Magic (1–4 from smaller orbs; 2–7 from larger orbs with a total daily account limit of 250 orbs) https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Branded_Mass#Notes https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Volatile_Magic_(object)#Contents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ygdrasill.9135 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 There is a cap on volatile magic, but I don't belive the ones generated by rifts you fly into with the skycale are counted in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixwil.6071 Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 Thank you everyone. Seems like the cap is the issue (without an ingame notification) and should resolve this post. I’ll check at reset to verify. Odd logic though, I mean who cares if I get 26 nodes or get 251 orbs. I’m sure someone will give a nice cap speech about why but I will respond with a “so what?” It’s one of those scratch my head and say wtf things lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
