problem with gathering in the diadem

i use a lot of sphalerite for titanium alloy squares as well as for titanium alloy ingots. so sometimes i go into diadem with the intention of focusing on gathering sphalerite and will do that for full 90 minutes less the time it takes to get flight. typically i'll get around 400 sphalerite which is enough to make 80 ingots or 80 squares.

i also use a lot of pterodactyls for pterodactyl straps as well as for pterodactyl leather. so sometimes i go into diadem with the intention of focusing on fishing pterodactyl and will do that for full 90 minutes less the time it takes to get flight. but i'm doing great if i can get 40 pterodactyl in that time. which is enough to make just 13 leathers or straps.

i can't be the only crafter/gatherer who feels that this is horribly imbalanced..

if i could fish up 240 pterodactyl in that 90 minute mission then there would be some parity.

leatherworkers are being very unfairly penalized in the sourcing of materials.

if you could fish up 240 pterodactyl it would be very unbalanced and unfair for the fisher. the fisher has not that many different usefull items he can gather. if he was able to mass-gather them the prices would drop horrible.

thats ridiculous

of course prices would drop. but then the supply of pterodactyl would reflect the supply of the miner and botanist gathered materials.

prices would drop but volume sold would greatly increase. fishers wouldn't make any more or less gil.

due to ingots needing 5 ores and leathers needing 3 pterodactyl its elementary that the supply of leathers aught to be 60% of the supply of ore. leathers and ingots are used in very similar quantities for the various recipes which all have very similar demand. but the supply of pterodactyl is much much lower than 60% of the supply of ore.

If leathers only needed 1 to make, it might also balance it out better.

what I want above anything in Diadem is to be able to use the stealth skill. I'm just so sick of those trash with a 360° vision.

A piece of metal just sits there in the rock. That's relatively easy to collect. You want to be able to catch an equivalent amount of flying dinosaurs. /shrug

Fisher has always been the harder gatherer to master given the random generated catches. The only prep you can do for those is bait. BTN/MIN will always have easier access to gathered items because of the static position of the nodes and finds.
