When I started LJ'ing at GM level, (not that long ago), it seemed that even though the higher end woods randomly respawned, it wasn't too bad of a change. I had a frostwood spot outside my home for about a week or so.

Now though, it seems every time I find bloodwood or (much more rarely, frostwood), it only lasts one day. I mark the spot in Automap and go back the next day... and it is oak, at best. Is this how it is supposed to be? ONE DAY, then *poof* gone? Very frustrating! I've been working towards getting enough points for Keoneans Chainmail (I know, I spelt it wrong). I don't see how people are getting huge amounts of boards for resale.

Whining aside, what *IS* the respawn rate supposed to be?

I believe that's the way it's supposed to be.

Yup,

welcome to the wonderful world of random resources. The dumbest change in game ever, in my opinion. The changes are suppose to be for some grandiose revised plan for reworkering crafting skills which is supposed to be introduced in the Stygian Abyss expansion. If you still want to turn in wood for the armor you only have a few options. Turn in lower point woods which is what you are getting the most of now. Or sell off your higher woods for gold and turn the gold in for points.

Yeah, seems that way, reading another thread about ore. I dunno what changes are coming in SA, but since I am using the legacy client (KR does NOT work well on my machine the last time I used it ), I probably won't be able to access the supposed benefits of the new system, whatever that is. Perhaps I will ask about this...

As a (daily) casual player, this is not an optimal situation.

Every time a resource site has been tapped, be it for 1 log or all of them, it will have a chance to respawn as a different type during the next resource refresh.
