I had one for a week and it wiped out during use. I bought another... it lasted less than five minutes of use.

Ane,


It finds shellfish and harvests them. I've not heard of them breaking before, so I'm not sure if this is a problem or not. I didn't mess around with them on TC, since this really wasn't a Scout thing, more of a Chef/BE thing.

Ane,


He may not know - it's a new feature. Check over on the BE and Chef boards for more info.

I've had them on TC, and haven't noticed them breaking. but then, I was so terribly disappointed by the whole deal that I stopped harv'ing at 1k or so.

I just got one this last weekend (did the quest to get the schematic and had a Artisan friend make me one), and I have used it for 6+ hours without it breaking. I set up a macro to call to use the tool every 10 seconds and pulled in about 5k total seafood off of it. One tip, empty your inv except for your backpack. Put the first Crustacean and Mullusk in your backpack. Figure 10sec/inv slot...then check it about that often (ie 48 slots=8min). Drag the harvested units onto your backpack and it will automatically combine stacks. (I actually have my backpack open too, makes for a bigger area to drag to => faster). Remeber...Shellfish is Meat as well as Seafood, and harvesting it takes no combat skill. Useful for chefs as well.

it is probably related to the Tool's rating. Experimentation will decrease the chances of it breaking...or it could just be a bug.

Which is what is so darn frustrating about so much of this game. Things just break, and the devs dismiss questions with "working as intended."


Then three weeks later, it turns out that a hotfix changes the previous behavior that was dismissed as "working as intended."

I think I've figured out at least one reason these things get destroyed. (If the original poster means some kind of breakage that doesn't delete the item, then this is a different issue to look out for.)


I have a macro I use to run this tool while I fish. I've found that if you open the radial menu of an item, THEN your macro activates the tool, THEN you click delete, the tool will be deleted instead of the item. I lost a tool or two this way.


Hope this helps, or at least reminds you to make sure your tool isn't going to activate before trying to delete an empty fish.
