The thread isn't really about digging, but yes, most masters do not use any bonus extraction time. Higher quality extract actions already slow down the source time, so additional time is not needed and in fact is detrimental.

Hello,
does that mean that high level diggers just use no extra time stanza at all in their prospection action ?

Correct. The way I dig, my Focus is about half-gone by the time the spot hits q250. That means I don't have long before I run out; about 30 seconds tops. Since I do not like sitting around regenerating, it's better to just kill the spot before running out of Focus so I can get all that Focus back and move on to the next spot. I average only about 11-12 mats per spot, but at 30-35 seconds a spot that adds up pretty quickly.

But there are occasions where I mess up and just don't kill the spot in time. In those cases, it's nice for the spot to die on it's own sooner rather than later. (It also means that any careplanner who uses Resource Preservation on a spot I dig gets an earful of expletives; don't "heal" something I am trying to kill!) Anything that prolongs the life of the node more than a few seconds after I hit q250 is bad, plain and simple. That rite prolongs the life of a node, therefore it is bad.

Do not assume that you speak for all just because you are the loudest voice; there are many who disagree that simply have no desire to waste words on you.

so, off topic :
hehe...
I dig q200 with this permanent time bonus from the rite and all the extra time stanzas i have. No problem so far, I need to kill about 5 to 10% of my sources, I would say.
But well, I'll let you know how this evolves while I'm getting nearer 250 :)
Thanks for your answers !

Mats Quantity = 0 ... still need moire time ?
Focus Gone ... whaddya do w/ extra time but stand there ?

So once you run outa either, you wanna be outta there. Several ways to do that

You can ignore "Heal Source Life" for example once you get to QL (but this has a downside). I work my dig so that time and source life end within a second or 2 of one another, preferable the former.

You can "Two-Step", using a lower Extraction level for the 1st part of your pull, this serves to drive time bar down faster,

There's more but don't wanna go off topic. If it was an optional thing, I think everyone would do it, it can be useful when ya digging 1.9 mats and only get 1 then. But when using Speed and Rate 6, no fun standing around with life or time left but nothing ya can do but stand there (aside from a kill stanza) until time runs out.

So that's why it's best avoided

At this point, I'm really curious what was the intended use for this stanza, if most of the masters would hate it ...

Hopefully one day it will allow us to add a stanza at zero cost, instead of forcing it

This is a good compromise

We used to have self heal too ... and ya could get 50 levels in an hour kicking Yubos :)

When I started few folks did harvevesting, fewer did rites, and my guess is that it wasn't brought to bear until dev team was cut back and otherwise occupied.

If you're going to kill nodes, the extra time doesn't hurt.  It's only when you miss the kill that it's bad.

However, this rite has a little easter egg and it's a goody!  You can dig "pre-popped" nodes (like larvae or flowers) and you get your focus back at the end just as if you had prospected them.  :D

Because this rite is shunned by so many fast diggers, one thing is usually overlooked (or considered less relevant). Once you passed that rite, self-popping nodes will give back your focus like a prospected node. That is convenient in a number of situations, e.g. when digging larvae, pistils etc. Whether or not this tradeoff counts, depends on your digging and occupation techniques. Anyway, once acquired, this "reward" will be permanent.

For the Trial of Oflovak there is a step missing. After you do the Prerequisite missions you need to talk to the barman Lydix Deps and accept the mission. You will then be sent to the Water Breaker Chief.

Here's an update for the Fyros Story 2 (durability rite).

First off, the materials amounts are different from the list in the first post. This is probably due to the missions overhaul done during patch 3.5.0, aka JY 2603 patch. They now may more, but also ask for more items.

So anyway, here is the updated BOM (bill of materials):
  • 8 MA MQ (Rilonus) pants + 8 MA MQ (Rilonus) vests
  • 40 LA MQ (Hobenus) vests
  • 56 LA MQ (Hobenus) sleeves:
  • 1 MA MQ (Rilonus) vest + 1 MA MQ (Rilonus) pants
(here the amounts are the same as previously, but the timer has been lengthened from 1 minute to 16)



Miscellaneous:

After completing the 4 prerequisite missions, you start the rite by talking to the barman in Pyr, and only after you are sent to the Water Breakers chief.

The actual rite only starts at (mid?)night, as hinted by the last item in the text:


So, go to Northlake Farm, and wait until it's 12am. Then and only then will the NPC talk to you. You may have to enter/exit the Farm several times to trigger his dialogue, this is an old problem.

The other two NPCs that you visit will trigger easily.

Finally, here is a durability comparison on items made with fine generic materials. Top is prior to rite, bottom is after the rite:

hmmmm.... need to add the adopt a zig rite and the new swimming rite as well... that's really just a screen shot of where to go/who to talk to to start it (a picture of the little window that everyone should look for when all you have is the 'map' in your toons in screen hand.... from there it's fairly easy)

laoviel, wonderfully made with clear IG shots of the windows in question.
