Gatherer Wishlist for 4.0

Thought I'd throw out a few hopeful skills as our gatherers progress in the next expansion and see what everyone else might be after for fun.

Eureka

10% chance after finishing a gathering node to gain 50% gp.

A little pick me up for those times between cordial droughts and gives us the opportunity to actually use all the skills on the toolbar more than once every 5 minutes. For fishing it would need to be adjusted for per-cast, although with fishing's rng 10% per cast still doesn't seem overpowered.

Move at normal walking speed while in stealth.

After this long, I'm pretty sure we've had enough experience sneaking around to move faster.


Experienced Stealth
Earned at 70
Your stealth increases slightly with your gathering skill.

For anything like Diadem that crops up. Let us eventually gear past the mobs since they one shot us and half the time they seem to be able to see through walls.



Finally a request for the future of scrips. I do not mind them so much in regards to getting them. What I do mind is the sheer number required to unlock nodes. I get no joy from staring at timers for days on end to collect scrips, covert those to tokens and then spend 99 of those tokens on books. 20-30 tokens should be sufficient, or better yet get rid of the tokens and increase the scrips we can collect so we just purchase directly with scrips (one less thing cluttering inventory).

Definitely agree about the ridiculous number of scrips needed to unlock the folklore books. Given that EVERY crafting book (masterbooks 3 & 4) can be bought for 8,640 blue crafter scrips (72 crafted items at 120 scrip each) it's rather obscene that just a single folklore book needs 4,950.

Crafter scrips rain out the sky they're so quick & easy to get once you have the materials. It'd take less than 90 mins to get all the masterbooks if using the 120 scrip crafts. With gatherer scrips you'd need to burn through cordial & rely on some RNG to get 500 scrip in 90 mins, that's if Rowena has bonuses up too. The 44,550 gather scrip total for folklore is just, well, the worst grind yet.

I'd like to add something like:

Arbor Call/Lay of the Land III: Survey the landscape to locate the nearest mature tree/mineral deposit within skill range. Can only execute while Triangulate/Prospect is active.

Arbor Call/Lay of the Land IV: Survey the landscape to locate the nearest lush vegetation/rocky outcrop within skill range. Can only execute while Triangulate/Prospect is active.

A couple more to the wishlist that I forgot about:
Have a minimum for collection items if they're coming back, but don't set a cap. Better gear should continue to provide better results.

Please increase the timed node timers by at least a minute. This is one that likely doesn't affect as many people, but I have about a 2mbps connection and when anyone else gets up they like to stream things (half the time not even watching them, thanks internet point sites!). It's a stress inducing nightmare when anyone else is using the connection and I'm attempting to do a collection rotation in time. There have been times I'm on top of the node, hit it when it popped up and have gotten nothing from the node because I'm waiting for the skills to respond. I understand the point of the short timers, I just don't find them to be positive to my experience.
