    Actually, I discovered something disturbing about Forager's Hat. It has one less GP than a fully-melded headpiece, and that one GP is more significant than you might think.

    If I didn't screw up my math, if you meld as much GP as possible onto all of your gear, including your ilvl 55 hat but EXCLUDING your off-hand tool, you wind up with 620 GP. If you then eat HQ Beef Stew or HQ Dzemael Gratin, you will reach 650 GP. With the Forager's Hat and HQ food, though, you can only reach 649 GP UNLESS you meld GP onto your off-hand tool - which could well be considered a waste of a meld when most would prefer to add more Perception or Gathering.

    Multiples of 50 are magic numbers for gatherers, as all gatherer job abilities are multiples of 50. That extra 50 GP could mean another 5% success rate at the very least. It's irritating that the "ultimate headpiece" actually causes problems in this way.

    Edit: As of Patch 2.3 and the addition of extra GP to various accessories, the -1 GP from Forager's Hat is no longer an issue. As of 2.3, other accessories provide more than enough GP to cover the difference, without being enough to have to worry about the next GP tier (700 GP is still well out of reach).
