Topic: Wild Goose Chases (Assignments)

Reproduce - (can't reproduce it 100% of time)



*Take a Mineral Extraction quest.

*Go to yonder waypoint.

*Area/Tile Scan (usually see 0-2% in area scan of assigned mineral, tiny green columns in tile scan)

*Lock on several columns over entire assignment area and get the message "This container contains no material of that type"

*Double-check that you do indeed have the right scan and mining charges (yes)

*Get pissed that I wasted an hour and be penalized because I have to drop this quest, much less not get materials or $.

Re: Wild Goose Chases (Assignments)

You get false positives on your scan if your geoscanning extensions aren't high enough. The area may have been mined out by the horde of miners crawling all over alpha.
