Guardians still stealing ores

TheMinionOfArabel

try without power attack maybe?
So far, with the gem chisel, all spawned guardian dropped their loot. Maybe its the bashing on the notes the problem? Not sure what else could be. Will keep testing with chisel, see if it ever gives me an empty guardian.

I spawned 2 copper and one iron guardian today using a pickaxe with power attack. 1 copper and the iron one both didn't drop ore when they died.

@Cojak81 did you get a second power attack hit on the node after the whole guardian spawning effects started?

Cojak81

@Strife-and-Discord no idea. Also today I spawned two tin guardians without using power attack on the node and neither of them dropped any ore. They both appeared before I managed to harvest any tin from the node.

Next time this happens please:

Stop in your tracks
Take a screenshot of the area with the map open so we can see exactly where it is
Post it here along with the following info:
- What Node/Guardian was it
- Area name

The difference between miner's pickaxe and gem chisel is that the pickaxe bashes the node while the chisel does not.
You think it might be related?

@TheMinionOfArabel Quite possible, this used to be a problem with the ancient system, where the ore node got destroyed so no ore managed to spawn from the script.

Happened twice to me today on Iron ore. Guardians spawned before I collected anything. Can you just remove them for now? It is seriously frustrating now given the limited places I can mine it safely solo and to lose both notes with nothing to show for it.

Missing the area name from the report. Were you using the pickaxe or the chisel? Did you use power attack?

Hillmarch mine, Iron Golem, considering my Longsword also cuts right through any and all Subdual damage and kills the subdued stuff anyway...

Sword is also DM named and the tailoring model still refers to it as silver sword. Maybe something conflicting or something?

@Zolm what tool did you use to mine? Dont care about what tool you used to fight the Guardian.

@Strife-and-Discord Pickaxe

Strife and Discord

Deployed a possible fix.
Let me know if the issue persists. But this is solely an issue with Pickaxe. Chisels are not affected.

@Strife-and-Discord

Sorry, it was Hillmarch and I was using the pickaxe and didn't use power attack.

Thanks

Merged the hotfix I deployed 2 weeks ago into master module, seeing as we have no more complaints.
