I’ve been playing for about two months and am thinking about investing in the Infinite Gathering Tools, especially the Volatile Magic set. I plan to farm Volatile Magic regularly each day, but I’m unsure how profitable these tools really are. Since they cost around 2,700 gems, which is quite a bit for me right now, I want to know if they’re worth the investment. How much profit can I realistically expect from a decent farming setup? Are these tools as good as people say?

If you go for the Volatile Magic infinite tools, they’re a nice way to passively farm volatile magic, which you can then convert into gold via trophy or leather shipments. From my experience, farming a full home instance daily can earn you roughly 2 gold worth of volatile magic each day. So, yeah, over time, you can get your money back and even profit, but it takes consistent, long-term farming. It’s definitely worthwhile if you’re dedicated to daily gathering runs and want to profit passively in the long run.
Yep, the key is being consistent. Also, keep an eye out for sales or bundles because the tools and glyphs sometimes go cheaper, which helps your return on investment.
One tip: if you do buy infinite tools, keep them in your shared inventory slots instead of on each character. This way, you can quickly swap them between your alts without extra hassle. Just remember to re-equip them when changing characters. This setup really stretches the value, especially if you gather on multiple characters. Also, note that if you switch characters a lot, buying infinite tools for each may not be worth it—better just to carry normal tools or get them from karma vendors for alts.
Good call! I’ve been wondering about the best way to use these on alts too.
If you’re looking for the best bang for your buck, consider that the Infinite Gathering Tools come bundled in editions like Janthir Wilds Deluxe or Ultimate, which include glyph boxes and other perks. Sometimes these packs are cheaper than buying tools alone. Also, if you’re in no rush, wait for sales since they do come up occasionally. That could save you a few hundred gems.
Bottom line: If convenience and time-saving mean a lot to you, and you see yourself farming consistently on the long haul, they’re worth it. But if you’re on a tighter budget or don’t farm as much, they might feel like a pricey luxury.
Thanks! I didn’t realize that bundles might save me gems. Definitely going to keep an eye out for deals.
The Infinite Gathering Tools are super convenient, no doubt about that. They save you the hassle of carrying spare tools and constantly repairing or buying new ones. However, if you’re expecting them to pay for themselves quickly, that’s unlikely. Considering the cost, you’d probably need to harvest tens of thousands of nodes over a long period—like over a year of daily farming—before breaking even in gold value. So realistically, they’re more of a quality-of-life investment than a money maker.
That’s really helpful info! So if I stick with daily farming, the investment might pay off eventually, cool.
