Nek Forest harvesting

<p>Since the tweak to get the nodes out of the trees they all seem to have decided to take a holiday <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Nodes are very sparse in every area we've checked so far.  In any area where you might expect to find around 20 nodes normally you're currently lucky if you can spot one.</p><p>After hitting the problem on test with a lowbie I ran around all my favourite harvesting places on test copy with a level 80 - N'Mar's, above and below; funeral pyre to darklight, mound lake, black water lake - all the same.  I checked with flora turned off to be sure I wasn't missing the nodes in the grass too.</p><p>Either they're not spawning at all or they're all clumped together in some place that wasn't previously one of the better harvesting areas, but I haven't yet seen anything to suggest the latter is the case.</p>

<p>The harvesting cloak quest requires a lot of nek forest harvesting.  Either fixing the lack of nodes or changing the quest to not require harvesting in both thundering steppes and nek forest would work.</p>
