Level 50 Gathering/Challenge log issue/question/suggestion

Level 50 unspoiled nodes, when gathered as Miner and Botanist are not being counted as the challenge log Disciples of the Land "The Gathering Storm" requirements?

I've just now gathered Earth and Fire Clusters, which are stated as level 50, and i am level 50 of course, but nothing is being counted in my challenge log.

I'm confused.

I'm confused too now. I hadn't thought to check. BRB...

That's weird. I know I get challenge log credit for shroud tea leaves and that's an unspoiled node.

I wouldn't really bother. I usually gather GC supply/provisioning stuff anyways. Handing them all HQ will net twice the rewards, can sell/npc or even use them for crafting. Plus I will always need GC seals for those 2 star mats or even sell them since they are quite expensive. And I do that daily while digging for TH maps same time, the challenge log would finished real quick anyways. Win - win. lol

Weird, I'm pretty sure I finished off that challenge on the Umbral Rock node last week. That's one of the new unspoiled nodes though, so maybe it doesn't work with the old ones?

So i'm guessing level 50 clusters specifically arent counted? That seems silly.

I noticed something weird when leveling my BTN.

I was like level 34 at the time.

I was gathering lv 36/37 items.

Gathered around 50 of them.

When I checked the challlenge log, it was still at 0. (It was tue/wed)

Gathered a couple of lv 31/32/33 items.

Challenge log registered a few items and it was not at 0 anymore.

So it seems it must be of the same "set" of items of your level... 31-35, not 36-40.

Really stupid implementation imho.

Not just clusters. At lvl 50 Carbonised Matter also is not counted in challenge log. Which sucks cause I tend to do my map hunting on CM nodes.

Someone in my FC had a theory that only items that can be gathered in NQ and HQ form count to the log, so CM and clusters don't count. Does dirt count to the log? I've never checked.

I think items that you cannot gain high quality from (like cluster, carbonized, etc) doesn't count towards the gathering challenge log.

It's because Coerthas and Mor Dhona do NOT count towards this achievement, not because of the unspoiled nodes.

Actually it's because they are clusters. I tested with the reset and my usual gardening harvesting. G3 soil and seeds (both items that have no HQ) from unspoiled nodes do count to the log. Fragrant logs and umbreal rocks (items that can HQ) from unspoiled nodes do count to the log. Carbonised matter from normal r50 nodes and Clusters (from west Thanalan at the unspoiled dirt node, so not just mor dhona) do not count

So it's not the lack of HQ properties that makes them not register. CM and clusters just don't count. Go figure.

Are the two "Gathering Storm" challenges, dailies? I swear I've gotten credit for them, three days in a row. Not sure if I'm seeing double or what...

There is Gathering Storm (gather 100 times) and Gathering Storm HQ (30 HQ items). A HQ gather would count towards both challanges

They do count - I've just re-tested it this week to be absolutely sure and I was using CM most of the time to complete the achievments (inlucluding lvl50 nodes). It does even include the unspoiled nodes (water clusters and grade 3 soil) in Western Thanalan - I was collecting those whole this week and they all add to the achievement for Thanalan just fine so I really don't understand how are you getting difirent results? It definitelly has nothing to do with lack of HQ - otherwise you'd be unable to use crystals and shards for the achievment as well which are the most commonly use to complete the Luminaries. It was always like this btw.

Uh ... we are talking about the Challenge log. Not Acheivements. And for the record:

The Gathering Storm will now count the collection of shards, carbonized matter, pigments, and timeworn maps.

^ from the patch notes. So we were right, they were not counting towards the challenge log prior to 2.28. So yay for fixing things.
