The new Glyph of the Timekeeper is definitely bugged and people should refrain from buying the Glacial Axe until it's fixed.

There have already been some posts and speculation about the 33% proc rate not feeling accurate, but I just finished logging 60ish trees during my Winterberry/Oyster farm and can definitely confirm that.

First, if you're on a mount and initiate the gathering, IT WILL NOT PROC AT ALL. I made sure to start on my mount for every tree during this run and the glyph did not activate once.

Second, while I didn't thoroughly test the on-foot proc rate like I did with the mounts, it definitely doesn't feel like 33%. I would estimate 10-15% at best.

It just feels extra bad considering the glyph is currently locked behind a 1000 gem gathering tool. Jim Sterling would have a field day with this if he was invested in GW2.

I bought the tools with the glyph of alchemy and crucible back when they had a chance to reward extra varietal seeds. This was the only reason I bought these, and honestly they have no other legitimate use. A few weeks later, they changed the glyphs so varietals would no longer be harvested.

I asked for a refund and they declined. So it turns out I spent 2000 gems on something they nerfed and is basically useless now. I will never buy another glyph as I don't trust ANET not to change it after it's bought.

Hmm had similar problem with the reaping one, bought 3 tolls for home farms, then they made it only usable in ur own home so I asked for a refund, and I got all the gems back. Think the problem now is that the support is new after some refund scams, they are instructed to refund as little as nothing at all.

What? Something released in the gem store isn’t working? Impossible! Surely you’re mistaken.

Anyone with the glyph of bounty "feel" that it was below 33% after patch?

I use mine for my garden patches in my home instance, it feels about the same as it did before for me.

Oysters ignore boosters and many glyphs, but Winterberries should be affected.

And even if its fixed, its still really bad, basically glyph of industry made by China. Better to rework it entirely.

Example:

TK glyph generate short AoE quickness effect (that scales with boonduration). If you dont have BD and gathering alone, then its worse than Industry, but if you DO have decent BD and gathering let say flax with other people, THEN its slightly better than industry + altruism/alt bonus points.

OR: TK gathers instantly any node but with CD between procs.

The mount thing and not starting to gather when pressing f next too it was a thing in WvW for some weeks. They fixed it though so should be a fast fix hopefully.

I did my home instance (full instance btw).. it only went off one time, and that's on the very first node I hit. I had the glyph on all 3 tools. So I don't think it's a mount issue.

I think the mount issue is separate from the overall % rate. I've done probably 200+ trees while mounted at this point and it hasn't activated a single time.

I have it on mining tool and longest fail streak was 6 and i had few 3x in row insta. its hard to test,since i tried to count fails,but i got bored after 100 nodes. If theres any ICD i didnt noticed it,since i got double insta on nodes 10 sec apart and you definetly cant scam it with canceling animation.
