Personal Gathering Points

Wanted to provide you all a quick update regarding gathering when it comes to FFXIV: ARR.

In A Realm Reborn once you have exhausted your current gathering target, that location will disappear and a different point will appear elsewhere. Since gathering points are specific to each adventurer, you won't have to worry about another player gathering from the same point, as was the case in version 1.0.

I like that. No more gathering points disappearing while I'm running to it ^^

w00t, that was always one of my biggest gripes about gathering in 1.0. Sadly, that news was so awesome that I forgot to prep a ball of yarn to give out. Next time :3

This makes me really happy!! ^^

You can gather from this tree 7 more times.
The tree has been exhausted.
F^%@@!

Free at last, Free at last!

hmmmm I think I'm ok with this! I tried to decide if it would be good or bad, but really a few more items will enter the game and it will cause a LOT LESS frustration in the long run. I can see why it was done originally but wasnt needed. plus the new gathering system is different.

First good piece of news regarding gathering I've heard since ARR was announced...

Curious whether fishing will be the same as 1.0. Can we still randomly fish in some spot without the need for School of Fish?

I used to love that one!!!!!! Awwww sweet memories of some of the 1.0 hurdles.

Good news!

All the changes to gathering so far have been great improvements, in my opinion. :)

In 1.0 if you can get to the node right when it disappeared you would flip and face the other direction. You could still log but the node was gone!

So glad they fixed it.

Awesome sause. Always sucked to be the person that didn't get to finish gathering at the node before it got poofed.

Gathering just seems to be getting better and better. Can't wait to get some more info on fishing though.

And Kagato, what the hell is your sig from? It's hilarious.

Just out of curiosity, will each player's gather points spawn at random, or could some mechanic cause people to share the same order--at least party members?

I don't see this happening much, but I could see a situation where you want to farm something from a high level area, and take a group for protection. It would make more sense if the entire group could gather at the same time, versus taking turns of whose spawn point you'll visit next.

Yay no more inconsiderate players breaking my gathering chain if you know what I mean.

really? inconsiderate. everyone has the right to gather from any node. I agree it was frustrating, but it is what it is.. Or was rather.
