Harvesting Tools Equip Duration

[Looker1010]

<span class="postbody">From today's Test update notes:</span><span class="postbody"><p><b>TRADESKILLS</b></p><ul><li>The duration of the buff on harvesting tools has been increased to ten days.</li></ul>I am totally confused. Why is the equip duration of harvest tools any number/length at all? Why isn't is simply "until canceled" like other longterm maintained spells?</span>

Bad idea, plus there are the Tinkered ones too, I believe. I certainly wouldn't bother buying harvest tools if they ran out like my poisons.10 days is to help those who are mainly Crafters I would assume, and only go out to Harvest, or spend a lot of game time Harvesting.

Woodworkers make arrows, I use well over a thousand woodworker crafted arrows per raid. I believe they cost in the 2 silver per range to make the T8. And yet I regularly pay 8+ silver per. So I am having a little trouble, to put it lightly, believing that woodworkers are in such a state as to warrant you saying that yet another consumable would give you "some very much needed business."Goran - 80 Ranger, Unrest

No thanks to 27 x 8 which = 216 gold every 10 days for tools. You know, a player made weapon or armor lasts forever. Surely tools are no different. Sorry but this is a very, VERY bad idea.
