Hello
I am a Master Ranger and now when I try to harvest bone from any creature, I get a message saying "there are no intact resources able to be harvested", and then I cant even harvest meat or hide either form that creature.
I am able to harvest meat or hide only if I choose that first.
Anyone else having this problem????

I have heard this a lot and I think the consensus was that it happens right as the resources are shifting? Maybe someone can verify this?

You can get this if the critter has no bones, like from Pikets, that you would think should. Once you do that failed harvest you cannot go back and try to get something that actually is on the critter. The server tags you as having harvested it already and sense there is the STOOOOPID rule that you can only harvest one type, you are s.o.l.

Yeah, I havn't run into any resource shift issues with harvesting for a long long time. Not since they fixed it from where you used to get 1 unit of whatever it was during the shift. It all seems ot happen instantaniously now from all I've ever observed.
And yes, pickets are made of air...or is it fluid? I don't think the rangers ever decided. We did petition for a /poppicket ability though 
I even have one of my DE-10's named "Picket Popper". The other being the "Bolle Blaster".

I found this thread. It states a similar problem. I also found one back last year in October that WildBill wrote that basically said the same thing. Maybe this is a fixed bug that is back now?

It means the bones are shifting. Give it 30-60 minutes and you will be able to harvest again

Man ... a year... I keep forgetting how long I've been playing hehe.
Akaaj66,
Make sure you're harvesting a creature that carries bone. As was pointed out... not all creatures do. No insects that I can think of carry it, and Pickets (despite having really long necks) do not either. The pickets are one of the great mysteries of the game... right up there with the strange boxes with question marks in them that used to sit under the waterfalls. But I digress...
IF when you select the creature and select harvest the radial menu doesn't show "Bone" you're SOL. Something Other than Lucky. If it shows bone then its either a resource shift or a bug. Harvest something different off the next corpse and go back to bone should come back pretty quick.
If by your next lair you still cannot harvest bone. Take a break for a short while. Resource shifts are usually pretty quick ... like a few minutes... but everyonce and a while things get screwy.
Good luck with it.
