This is why i hate gathering with botanist

Fairy apples.. I got stacks and stacks and did I mention stacks of them logging in Humblehearth

Yeah, humblehearth is great for them. Also, invest in raising your INT for BTN rather than your STR. INT increases your yield. Not only for the amount you gain in one success, but the amount of times you get the item you're gathering for.

I've tested High STR vs High INT on Halatali's Rosewood logs. STR seems to increase the area in which your strikes are a success and INT increases the yield and the chance of gaining the item you're aiming for. High amounts of INT showed a significant amount of Logs gained with INT than Rosewood Branches when using high STR.

Maybe this will help.

i just got my btn to 50 today and noticed if u want a specific mat u gotta farm it a lvl above or below the suggested node. for example oak logs. u get em at treespeak grade 5 but u get more if u log em at humblehearth which is grade 4. see what im trying to convey here? so when i need oak logs i go to grade 4 instead of grade 5. same with other things. and like miner. suggested grade for silver ore is grade 4 in humblehearth but u get more if u mine at treespeak grade 5.

What a load of hogwash.. I just got 3 stacks in about 30 minutes at humblehearth yesterday.

yeah, there always seems to be an alternative to gathering certain items. i.e. I don't have the level to fish up red coral, but there are enemies that will drop them, like the lurkers in Sphoshae.
