Tektite, Eventide Jade, Cloud Mushroom, Periwinkle

I don't suppose anyone knows what these are for yet? I browsed my recipes and can't find anything that uses them, could be that I've overlooked something obvious though.

Eventide Jade & Periwinkle you can collect for minimal Red Gathering Scripts... and there are only 4 attempts normally, so you're still better off with the old collecting materials.

Ah, I'm guessing they alternate for red gathering scrips, then. Good to have a method of getting them that isn't reliant on the time of day, at least. Still nothing on the buff given to the other stuff though :D

15 points, base, for Adamantite/Chysal Greens now.

Well, the Eventide Jade is from a regular level 60 node (though it only spawns on 1 of the 6), so you don't have to wait for spawn timers to gather it.

It's from the Raw Opal node just outside of Anyx Trine. For me, it was the North-Eastern most node (the one with 5% Gatherer's Fortune).

Looks like it must spawn at all L60 nodes then as I got Eventide Jade from the Hinterlands, at the Hardsilver Ore spot.

I also found Eventide Jade in Sea of Clouds, where the Aurum Regis Sand is.

its quicker to gather the timed nodes as you would have to wait for your gp to replenish to gather those items at sufficient collectability and considering there low value means it doesn't work out any better.

in actual fact its much more freeing to gather the timed nodes and use the time not wasted on doing something other than chasing node spawns

I don't really see a point to these nodes unless you're clutching to get 5 extra points to cap. Because they're on normal nodes (and you still need 450 collectibility) you have to use at least two DE buffed methodicals and one methodical with only 30 durability. You can't do impulsive unless that;'s also buffed with DE or you have an extra step to use (the latter requiring single mind and two UCs, 400gp). You're looking at committing 600 GP for 10 scrips at max (or 400gp for 5 scrips at the minimum.

It's something you can gather off the timer, but considering the GP constraints, you're going to be afking at the node for a good while or doing a lot more running around just for the sake of keeping yourself occupied inbetween while staying in DoL...and not being able to use GP.

I've actually been 4 away from capping twice and then had to stay up another 30 minutes just to get 4 scrips. This way if you're only 4 short you can go top your scrips off with the new items

The new low-yield Crafting collectibles (Titanium ingots, for example) can be used like that too.
But it's usually better to get that last little bit with a CUL turn-in if you have CUL at 60.

This is exactly what these new trade ins are for. I mean they make more sense for the crafting ones.

If the rotation you use is

Discerning Eye
Impulsive Appraisal
If Discerning Eye procs => Single Mind (otherwise Discerning Eye)
Impulsive Appraisal
If Discerning Eye procs => Single Mind (otherwise Discerning Eye)
Methodical Appraisal

and DE procs every time you use IA you get collect 3 collectibles instead of just 1 or 2.

Since the node is refreshable ad-infinitum, I would think a better rotation would be to forego using any GP until you're sure that you can commit. I would suggest:
Impulsive Appraisal -> if Discerning Eye Procs -> Instinctual Appraisal
If Discerning Eye Does not proc, refresh node
After Instinctual appraisal, if you're above 300 collectability, pop discerning eye into a methodical appraisal and then collect.
200 GP spent. you can throw in a single mind for an extra collect at this point, but using this method you can forego spending any GP that you don't have to, and just refresh the node as needed.

Actually i like a lot Eventide Jade, is easier to collect and available anytime not have to wait for some specific time and go in hurries. So im still fresh 60's on min so just have the minimal set for it and few melds to get the enough perception for the collectability, and have yet to hit the 600 gath for the star nodes. But with Eventide Jade is fun, just one week more and ill get my new pickaxe ;). About the gp, its ok just keep replenish from the gathering on other nodes (for ores/sand or crystals) or just watching tv meanwhile, instead wasting cordials and not have to worry for being on time for the nodes.

Also i love titanium ingots, cheap to make (just gathering) so its fair to it be 5 red scripts :)

I actually like the gathering nodes as well. While yes, it is certainly not as efficient as the timed ones, it offers an alternative to them as well. Working on a short deadline, I filled the gaps between red scrip timed spawns with these to increase my hourly red scrip hunt from the base 60 I could get with two gathers at max level, on 2 collects of the timed, clear up to 100 generally by farming these in the down time. For every Cordial cooldown, I would at least get five, 10 depending on my RNG friendliness. A small amount to be certain, but if you are like me and stuck at only a 9 and 11 red scrip spawn, that just leaves 4 cordial cooldowns to attain anywhere from 20 to 40 more scrips per cycle of time. On a deadline, it can certainly come in handy, or if you simply want to focus it down in one sitting to get it done for the week. I like the option myself, be it as filler, or for casual grinding as a mindlessly operate while watching a movie perhaps.

But the quality needed is lower; it evens out such that your adamantite/chysahl greens rotation will give you 1 item to turn in, which really isn't bad considering there's no time limitation in place. I wouldn't do them exclusively of course, but if you're rushing either last minute or trying to get scrips done asap for whatever reason they're not bad.

Except with your method your item wear is at 35/30 then you collect nothing at all.
