I can confirm it works on older game Nodes (well worked in Mop And normal level 1 stuff. Copper
The nodes in the old world seems to last about 20/25 sec before the despawn you can mine them at at the same time with other chars before this time goes.
Edit Herbing works the same.
Skining does not seem to workand the mob still despawns after its been skined. (in old zones anyway)
