Don't forgot to use Deep Vigor/Brunt Force on the last of your unspoiled nodes. It'll guarantee you that the final one is a HQ gather, which'll make your quality touches on crafted items less of a hassle to HQ. Also, once you get to a point where you can comfortably gather items from 2.0 nodes at 100%, it might be worth it to use Bountiful Harvest with your Toil action to make the last gather give 2x HQ quantity with DV/BF.

(Now all I'm wishing for is for Solid Reason and Ageless Words to be reduced from 300GP to 200GP so that max gatherers with 600GP might get some use from it, and Luck actions having their HQ chain reduced by 1.)
