Fix node investment drop benefit discrepancies.

Family Name:   Picklenose

Region (NA/EU):   NA

Problem:

There are discrepancies between the "Node Investment Benefit" icon at the top of the screen and the drop benefit listed in the Monster Zone UI screen.

For example, and the biggest example:

Hystria.  We know (via the Monster Zone UI) that investing in Pilgrim's Sanctuary: Obedience gives you the drop benefit for Hystria.  However, when you enter Hystria, the Node Investment Benefit icon at the top of the screen says you're not even invested.  How do we know we're even getting the drop buff?  

Another example would be Upper Gyfins.   Monster Zone UI says "Ghyfin Rhasia Temple" yet we fight upper gyfin in "Southern Kamasylvia" node.  Which is correct???

Solution:

After determining which indicator is accurate, sync the two or just get rid one.

Hey Picklenose! I'd like to clarify the confusion behind which node you should invest in for the Node Investment Benefit. You can always check in the mini-map at the top right of your screen in the grind location. There is an indicator that will say Affiliated Node: XXXX.



In your first example: The Patch Notes February 8, 2023 specified that the node for investment at Hystria Ruins is Pilgrim's Sanctum and Aakman Temple is Ancado Coast.

In your second example: Upper Gyfins would fall under the Ghyfin Rhasia Temple node. In cases such as this where there is no node on the map that the 'Affiliated Node' mentions, you can always check the Monster Zone info by pressing Escape > typing Monster > selecting the node you are looking for > hover your mouse over the money bag near the top right! (This also shows the affiliated nodes for Hystria and Aakman!)

 

Many times you can also check the node investment by clicking (M) for the map and then selecting the cross-swords at the top right. This will show you all nodes throughout every region. The node zone shown there will be the node you would put your contribution points and energy into.



I hope this helps!

Reviving this as two other guildies brought it up in chat about the Hystria "node benefit" icon at the top of the screen showing that they're not invested despite actually being invested in the Obedience node and it showing on the Monster Zone screen.

Please sync the Hystria node benefit icon with the Obedience node.   As it stands, it's questionable whether the drop benefit is actually working.  This is the only zone that acts like this.
