Especially with the guild hall quest norath is turning into a bush. Solutions ? Here are some possibilities :- Give a bit more trade xp for completing the feed the hungry little boy quest.- Increase the rare root dop rate on bushes. - decrease buses repop probability (ie bushes are ph for animal pits, roots and wood i don't know if the ratio is 1/4 for each or not you may simply tune repop as follos 2/7 for wood/tap/roots and 1/7 for bushes.- Add a food quest for the guild halls (since it's an event it's probably a bit late to do it now).

<p>Every time I read threads like this my provisioner does her little dance...</p><p> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v604/seachnasaigh/3D_faeries/Tink_mod_dance_GIF.gif" alt="" border="0" /></p>

TBH very few people do these quests on my server. I do them when I can.

<p>Cusa, Aena's talking about Duggin and the tableware harvesting quests. </p><p>I don't really think it's that big of an issue - provided you strip harvest and aren't cherry-picking. There's always a guild provisioner or a friend or an alt who can use the stuff or barring that, sell it. Even if it's a few silver or gold that you earn, it's more than you had before.</p>

I, too, have noticed more bushes "left over" since the guild hall quests began.  Since i have a provi, this makes it easier for me to gather!

I just have a Duggin quest on me all the time.  Makes clear-cutting easy!<a href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/mob.html?eq2mob=12049" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/mob.html?eq2mob=12049</a>

<p>People are not clear cutting while doing the Guild Hall harvest. I find myself picking up the harvest quest each time I go out to KP now, and as I am doing a writ or heading to a zone I will hit the nodes requested in the quest. so, yes I am seeing an increase in animal dens and bushes. I only have been getting the lumber quest as ther are ample wood nodes up all around the zone.</p><p> Normally, when I am out harvesting I will clear cut all nodes in an area, but this quest line is more of a journal filler for me while on my way to and from.</p>

<span style="font-size: small;font-family: comic sans ms,sand;">Grabbing the hungry halfling quests is the way to go.  I have so many dishes!  Having the halfling harvesting quests makes it easier to clear the area for future pops of what you really need if you are in the old world zones.</span>

<p>It's an inconvenience and I would not think this an issue that needs any changes to drop rates or anything else. When the event is over with the issue will go away. In the meantime just harvest the bushes or go to a different location.</p>

<p>Big up The Animal Dens!</p><p>I love em <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

Add food to the stuff to be harvested.Who's feeding all those craftsmen, anyway?And leave the dens for me.  I'm making a killing on leather sales.

Getting rid of all those pesky meat pieces that clogg up my inventory.</p>

I've been harvesting whatever the guild hall writ calls for, and then picking up the halfling quest and taking all the bushes and dens. I'm selling everything I don't need and if I have enough table settings, I'll sell those too. Woot for me and too bad for everyone else. it is frustrating though to be doing your duty clearing out the brush and seeing someone race to that bit or ore you just saw pop up in the distance.
