Also for gathering don't forget YoshiP said before they wanted to make it so if you wear certain stat gear it will result in more of one type of item over others available at that spot, put that together with this 3-4 items per area.

STR gear = 1 item, VIT gear = 1 item etc... can try to concentrate just getting that one item from these 3-4 items...

I guess it's good, can go back to mining again... haven't touched in a long time lol.
