On the rarity of mandrake root

You should have exitited to login and gone in again in single player...

 

I didn't do that, but I did return to the node two more times in Multiplayer. Both times, the node was in a harvested state. Next time I will try the SPO mode...

 

I should say that I've been harvesting that node in both SP and MP. That was with R15.230 though, might have changed in the last patch.

 

I have located no less than 8 nodes for mandrake root in Verdantis Shardfall. There is the one in the central island, then there are also 7 around the hills that ring in the poison lake. After completing a circuit, I ran through the swamps harvesting wood/cloth, by the time I had cleared them the mandrake had respawned. I'd have had quite a lot except that 2 of my spells use Mandrake as a reagent, and there's no way for me to tell them to NOT use it that I could find. XD
