Craft/Strips for Gatherer's Gear plus future idea

Slightly annoyed about the current system which forces you to either pick for crafted mats or gatherer's gear especially since there's no crafted counterparts

To be fair, it would've been ideal if Blue strips were used for favours even if it was something like 5 strips for 1x set of <location> favors

so the gatherers can save their red strips for gears since crafters could get crafted or non crafted gears

so please if the developers ever do read this, maybe for future weeklies if they are mindful of this, cos it's disheartening that I can't gear my gatherer's while working on crafted gears aswell

Example (if following the methods of tombstones)

Yellow Gatherer's Strip
this could be used to gain the gears

Red Strips
could be used for the new gathering favors since most likely blue strips will be removed

old favors could still use 1 token
while the new one could use 3-5 token if it's reasonable.
