I just spent 600g to test these out with herbalism. Within an hour I decided that I will never again farm herbs or ore without this item in my bag. It made a wonderful difference in the amount I was able to farm in a specific time frame when competing with other farmers - which is when I seemed to see more "hidden" nodes compared to farming when no one was around & saw very few.
Here are a few clarifications for anyone who may be skeptical about creating, buying or selling this fun little bauble.
- Nodes do show up on your mini map when tracking is enabled.
- As many have mentioned, you do not have to equip this item to utilize it's special benefit.
- The "hidden" nodes do not have special spawn points of their own. They can be found anywhere & everywhere that any regular node appears. In terms of location there is no difference between hidden & visible nodes.
- The visual difference is obvious, but should not have any affect on your ability to locate them. The "hidden" ones are just wrapped in a little cloud of mist while the regular ones are not. (screenshot submitted in the event you'd like to see the cloud wrapped herb ahead of time).
- Using Gatherer/Gathermate2 will still help guide you to all the usual spawn locations.
- No need to deviate from your typical farming habits to benefit from this. You don't need to do anything special other than put it in your bag. It's pretty much business as usual, you'll just have a bit of extra business.

Do Not Equip!
These are amazing for altaholics. Get one pair, mail it betweet alts. Price should be fairly cheap a month after launch, but will pay dividends if you grind the two spirits of harmony on day 1.
