Accepted Gathering needs to be reworked

[CaptainAntilles]

I salute the all powerful staff members of the WoM2 Universe, my enemies and also my friends!

Like many others, I leveled up gathering on 2 characters, only to find it effectively useless.

The effort you need to put in to get some ok potions far outweigh any economic practicality of developing this skill.
Also, the amount of clutter it creates in the inventory is so bad that I needed to create a separate account so I can store flowers and potions.

Just like fishing has the penguin who exchanges useless stuff for other drops you may actually use or sell, just like mining has the lumberjack where you can use useless ores to upgrade your pick, therefore creating a market for them, I suggest a system where the useless stuff from gathering gets repurposed as an exchange/upgrade material for other types of liquids, so that we can clear the inventory clutter and create a way to craft progressively more powerful potions.

I suggest a Liquid Concentration system where you initially craft one potion at the lowest level and then mix it up with a number of the same concentration potions to get a better one, and so on until you reach a level which satisfies your expectations.

More grind, less chance.

Thank you!

I also think that, gathering became more and more useless overtime. Every boss, every dungeon gives flowers and it makes gathering basically non-profitable other than for golden mushrooms.

Hi,

Thank you for bringing this up and for starting the conversation. I will share this topic with the team and see what options we have and after thoroughly checking the statistics and the current market. While the minigame itself will likely not be reworked, we may be able to explore ideas to better balance the flower market. I will be moving the thread to Investigating for now as well. As mentioned in other suggestions, this will be placed in our topic queue, as there are other higher-priority items we are currently working on that need to be completed first. I appreciate the feedback and will follow up if there are any developments.

Warm wishes,
Essence.

Hi,

Thank you for the suggestion. We’ve decided to move forward by improving how flowers are currently used. We’re exploring ways for you to make use of the large surplus of unused flowers. While the specific applications are still being determined, our goal is to reduce oversaturation in the market.

Warm wishes,
Essence.
