Mysterious Mithril Node in Thunderhead Keep

[magnusthorek.8027]

Today morning (here) I was approached by someone in Thunderhead Keep who asked for someone experienced in the map. Although I'm not someone who's been playing the game for years and years, I run Thunderhead Keep daily, getting almost everything on my path.

 

It happened this person seems to be a bit more thorough than I am and showed me a regular Mithril Node underwater, down below one of the ice holes south of Revolution's Heart Waypoint — https://i.postimg.cc/X7G8jxhW/gw079.jpg

 

In this screenshot, I'm hovering the node icon on the mini-map showing the closest I could get to it. Swimming a little bit up already shows the green arrow indicating I should go down but as much as I could search, it's all solid ice without a secret entrance like many Quaggan Caves with frustrating to find POIs.

 

I swam down all other holes around this one, expecting to see a longer cave entrance that could lead to this node without success. The only thing I've found was a small Seaweed Farm.

 

So, in short, how to mine this node?

These inacessible nodes are traps for hackers. Since only cheaters can get them they give themselves away when they teleport to harvest the nodes.

Is this actually a thing? I mean, I wouldn't be shocked, but this is crafty... In a good way.

So you mean that also the harvest nodes and rich ore node in Istan which are in the secret area below the map that you can access through map breaking by glitching out of the bone walls counts to said traps too?

Uh oh... Then I think I'm screwed.

 

But for real. I didn't know such detail and I find it an interesting aspect of developing.

I think they were pulling your leg. ;)

Was it confirmed it is for hackers through? I always thought it was bugged nodes that appear outside of maps I've already saw them around since launch.

I think they are just 'lost' nodes tbh, they were probably placed there when it was accessible during development of the map then they altered the landscape and accidentally coved them up.

Experienced void jumpers can get to that node without any cheats nor something illegal.


 

 

\\\UPDATE///

I was on map with node in second mini lake. Your node is inside of ice model, not raw map model, so your node is totally unaccesible without cheats or something.
