New ability for Gathering: "Rest"

I want to suggest a new skill for gathering.

a simple "Rest", while resting, your character sits down on the ground and GP regeneration is doubled.

Please give us this.. waiting to much in for Cordials...

Why not ask for the base GP regeneration rate to be doubled -- or tripled, or whatever is required for smelling the roses most quickly?

for the same reason you got jog, instead of infinite sprint

because other people are unusually impatient and can't bothered to spend a few seconds running from point A to point B? or to spend a few seconds waiting for GP to regenerate?

"jog" changed nothing about my FFXIV experience. :confused:

it takes roughly 6 minutes to restore your full GP

Dose GP regen if you switch classes while you wait? And if so does it regen faster?

It still regens, but instead of the traits DoL have that increase that GP Regen it gets set to the base of 5. It’s still miserable to have to wait 5 minutes between As just to do the tool.

We know that the “aetheryte” in the centre of the moon camp isn’t actually a teleport aetheryte, it’s actually what confers stellar sprint to DOH/DOL classes (and purifies the local water supply but that’s more just flavour text)

There should be a phase of upgrading the aetheryte (in future planets it should be one of the first phases along with the base cosmoliner system) that confers quadruple GP regeneration and a buff called “stellar sparkle” that functions similar to tricks of the trade, where if you activate gatherers boon you can activate this effect to regenerate 20 GP

This would allow them to balance cosmic around constantly doing missions but doesn’t change that GP is well balanced outside cosmic because limited and slow regenerating GP is what keeps the supply of ethereal node items (the ones that spawn for 10 earth minutes and you can constantly triangulate) limited so the market isn’t excessively flooded

As a variant without requiring a new ability, just increase the rate of regen whenever the character is seated/laying down. Use the /sit emote and regen increases until you get back up. Could be implemented as a trait or as a passive for all jobs.

something needs to change, feels jarring from being able to just craft for hours with cp restoring to now waiting 6 minutes in between each mission just to get GP back and cant even activate revisit.

This topic probably has nothing to do with normal gathering and everything to do with Stellar Missions, which, because of the GP Regen the way it is, forces you to either chug Cordials/Hi-Cordials or wait between each mission. It's jarring when you compare the output to the crafters.
If anything, I think in these Cosmic Exploration areas only, we should get some sort of GP refresh after you finish one. You'd still have to use Cordials for the harder missions, but at least you wouldn't have to deal with the wait.
