The green bar that shows up when gathering

[Mo0]

I have a question about that little green bar that goes up and down when gathering stuff. The FAQ in the game says you can click on it when it hits the yellow bar to get the stuff faster, but I've spent the past couple of weeks clicking on that thing and nothing has ever happened! Am I supposed to click on the thing I'm harvesting from, or the bar, or what?

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

You know, I usually click the object I'm farming and that works...but it's really hard to get. I think I end up getting it one in fifty tries.

I remember when I got that 'clam meat quest' and was harvesting clams and starfishes for the first time in the game. No need to say, I noticed the bar with a suspicious looking line in it. Well I thought I better click again if the bar reaches that line. I tried so and it didn't work. By that time my character already harvested the thing. I thought: "Must be a bug or not implented or whatever"

So yeah, after a long while I ask my friend about it and he says you need to click. Well now I'm clicking on every damn copper ore, but it just won't work. Well, I just want it to succeed once just to see for myself.

It does work. Gotta get it at the right time. It's like that game where the light goes round and round and you have to stop the light at the spot you're at.

I found a trick about that yellow line on the green bar.

The tip of your cursor must be right in the middle of your little yellow line.

And you must click at the right time (when the green bar reaches the yellow line.)

I got into a mining craze coz i need it for decomposition and stone material... and after about 100 ore practice, I how finish mining quicker about once every 2-3 ores... (i found that if the line is too close to the edge it's harder to get it right)

It does work, u've just gotta place your cursor carefully on the yellow line and click at the right time.

I get it 2/3 times while picking herbs and cutting trees, but always miss on others :/

I get it almost every time in Gold hill. Saved me a couple of times too. As with every life lesson, Practice Makes Perfect.

Oh, so that's what it does! Just tested it and it's pretty cool o: Got the timing right after awhile :3

You need to click on the line? My God, I always click on the mushroom/ore/whatever. Gonna try it right away.

Thanks for the heads-up.

You have to develop a timing.
The lag in the game really gets in the way of opening chest boxes just need to practice in the mines for a while to get it.

<---- Stolen about 8 treasure boxes with the technique XD
