The Ultimate GATHERING Guide #guildwars2

Despite not being everyone's cup of tea, gathering is a viable way to make gold. Lots of gold.

In this video I'll go over some of the most important aspects to increase your gathering output. Ranging from 3rd party resources you can use, to the difference animation speeds of gathering tools, the glyphs you want to be using, what builds work best, and which boosters to use as well.

There are quite a few Quality of Life upgrades you can purchase in the gemstore, even for gathering. I'll talk about those, but also about the free alternatives you might not be aware of.

The Cup of Light-Roasted Coffee is a life saviour!

Incredible amount of extremely well done content at an unbelievable pace ❤

[renaiya]

This is like my fav activity in GW2. I log in every day to hit up all the elder wood nodes with a rune of crucible to convert them down

Nice video. I feel like gathering is somewhat overlooked by the general populace.. It's like one of the best way to gain money/value in the game and it's easy to do really.

Great video man! Thx for sharing your experience. ✌🏼

Count me in on the Gathering Krewe :D Because I am old and slow, with eyes that don't respond well to the flashing visuals in this game, the usual group content gold farms are definitely not fun for me - whereas a leisurely couple of hours gathering really is!

[wyldlibrarian]

thanks for this excellent work. I would like very much for you to research and update the times. I am not into animation cancellation and I am more often than not just out in open world mining single nodes as opposed to rich ones - would love your comparison to take that into account. cheers

I had a lucky 2000 gold drop yesterday and with gem conversion i got vermillion gathering tools, and now i see this video :D time to mine and cut trees !

[MrAddummm]

i really wish anet would unify the cast times for all the gathering tools so their sales can actually focus on the cool animations they have.. instead of simply which is faster or how many times it strikes rich nodes. like their are certain ones i may want to get for their style, but feel put off to it because a boring one might cast faster. good informative video though

[brandon]

Great video. Well researched and concise. What do you considered the absolute best build for gathering? Deadeye with perma stealth?

[giveli]

question, if I buy the Infinite Volatile Magic Gathering Tools set and add the unbound glyph, will I gather volatile magic and unbound magic when I gather?

[CuddleCakez]

So basically unbound is by far the best if you are getting a bundle with chosen glyphs?

[LisaSummers]

Just watch anet nerf candycorn gobler since you keep mentioning how overpowered it is😂
