Multiplayer Agate seems to be missing.

[Utiviroo]

I've done a complete play through on the single player and found it readily in the Bend near the snakes.

On the multiplayer map, we have looked everywhere (that we could think of) and there seems to be no ground hand harvest able agate. Everywhere is unlocked apart from the small section of the Eufala desert near the train exit on that side past the ship, assuming that has something to do with the final mystery quest, which would make no sense for the agate to be in that location (in my mind at least).

We did find two kinds of granite, one which consistently dropped yellow crystals (yellow topped one) and a darker grey one that consistently dropped emeralds. so we were looking for a third kind of granite that might drop agate but not found any such thing, in case that was the change that was supposed to happen, our assumption being it would a red granite rock or something; to distinguish it visually.

It is possible we ran past what we are supposed to mine thinking it was low level starter rocks, since they did reuse some mine-able rock textures before. But maybe we been standing in the desert sun and are delirious looking for an imaginary rock at this point, just don't know anymore. ;)

Our workshop hit level 20, so we are working on the beautification quest, while there isn't a pressing need for agate anymore (I think, other than farming commissions for relationship grind), it is kind of important for turning a lot of things into rare tier in multiplayer same as single, which is nice for the commission bonuses etc.

I do not see any recent threads bringing the topic up so am wondering if us launch month players just got stuck with a broken map, i.e. the nodes were hidden under the ground or were simply mis-painted/planted as something else, do we have to clear cut all nodes to get them to pop or are we just stuck with a bum map.

Just throwing out ideas, since it sort of seems multi was a little rushed and maybe this was one of those things that got missed.

We are probably going to keep working on stuff on the same town even if a dev confirms the maps from back then are broken or unfixable/unpatchable.

We already spent a lot of time grinding and the other friend is fairly far on the romance stuff so we are not going to start again as their play time is more limited than mine. (Way easier for me to do romance stuff in SP anyway, even though I think I spent 4x as long in SP already, I have almost everyone at BFF so, I don't have the motivation to do that again :D I'll be around for moral support for them to get their grind(s) done on that front).

I think I hit lvl 56/57 and they hit 60 so, unless there is another dungeon (doubt the agate is in there, but there were a few mini dungeon places that had some harvestables in them, did not check them all) I think we got near max gear, we both working on full rare lvl 55 stuff, they might be on 60.

If new recipes showed up on vendors (aluminium on the harvest tools, only seem to have first set of guns no advanced gun recipes and the lvl 55 weapons/gear), forgot to ask, we were tired after our last session. Not that we need any more gear to beat stuff, we think we already cleared all the bounty locations, bar one perhaps, its a huge map. :o

FYI, there are no granite nodes that give agate. You can get agates from putting granite in the Ore Refinery.

[Utiviroo]

Yup.

Been doing that, been thinking of setting up a 2nd Ore Refiner and turning it purple to have a refiner free to refine other stuff, in tandem (as needed), but usually is a challenge to find enough granite to max out 2 deep queue on one on a daily basis, since the nodes are spread out and we don't seem to have access to a drill to speed that up while still running around doing other things in game, unlike metal mining which is easy to over stock on stuff in comparison.

Which might be less of an issue once we get done upgrading the six furnaces to purple tier, which is total over kill at this point, but since we don't have a factory or green house in multi mode (it seems), its something to work on when not working on commissions for an instant complete/same day.

Noticed too the buffs on work tables of every kind no longer have random buffs to various stats. Just bigger fuel/water/work stack/multi queue. Not a big deal either, just was nice to have variety of goals to chase.

Although we are not going end up marrying the same people, if we get round to it, since achievements don't seem to be tied to anything on multi-side, I have wondered how the game handles that situation and if children etc. are a thing in the multi side, seems like it would get a bit cramped with 4 players, 4 spouses, 4x children even in the largest most stacked "house" on that lot. It'll be a total zoo once we are done with all the pets and farm animals too. XD

Maybe it isn't a thing, seems like we can not really make furniture as much as we can vs single player, so decoration isn't as diverse unless we missed something somewhere. I forget how many recipes come from personal/story quests, seem to recall a lot on SP mode.

I have the same issue as you and I just started playing it a week ago so

They are indeed badly missing.
The only way to get some is by filtering granite with the ore refiner.
Count something like 300 granite to get like 15 agate.
There is no way to max refine the end game weapons (which in multiplayer are the runeomon, the raven's wings and the cargoldithril)
Very frustrating.
