Please don't misinform people.

That's putting it pretty harshly when I didn't say anything you didn't say in your correction.

But not at an insane rate of 12/15 per node.

With the large requirement of items needed for HW crafts I can't find a reason why we can't do that for every 2 or 3 nodes

You have a base 400 GP... the reason you don't get more when switching is because the extra is from the gear you switch into.

You can, with Cordials and Hi-Cordials. And Cordials are pretty cheap (800gp each at times) on the MB. During a heavy gathering session, I'll be drinking Cordials on cooldown. With that and good timing, you can hit the nodes at 9, 10, 11, and 12, bang bang bang bang.

It works like this:

With food, I can start the run at 650 GP.
Gathering for bulk requires 500 GP.
GP regens at 300 per Eorzean hour.
Cordials restore 300 GP, Hi-Cordials (available for blue scrip) restore 400 GP. Both have a 4 minute oooldown (which is 82 or so Eorzean minutes).

The last node is really tight tho. And if the third node is the 11PM Adamantite, I generally head off for DarkSteel (1AM) instead.

What is annoying me the most is when I have full GP (600+), switch to non-gatherer by accident, switch back and now I only have 400 GP >.<

Actually when you switch to -any DoW/DoM- job from DoL/DoH, it starts you off at 0 MP
When you switch to -any- DoL class from DoW/DoM it starts you off at 400 GP.

The difference is?

The difference is that DoW/DoM have a base GP of 400, something that was added in 2.15

The following changes have been made to gathering points (GP).
Players will now also accumulate GP when playing as a Disciple of War, Magic, the Hand.
GP will no longer reset when changing to a non-gathering class.

Better than being dropped to 0 GP like 2.0.

It's because you unequiped your gp gear.

Does not make it any less annoying...

Which wasn't the point of the post you partially quoted. The answer to his question was "HP/MP regenerate very quickly in comparison to GP."

I wouldn't mind it nearly as much if they at least upped the GP regen rate. Add in a trait somewhere along the line that increases GP regeneration, or make it %-based, just something that's better than (at end-game) less than 1% of your total GP per tick.
