This would be handy, but there can be legitimate differences of opinion over whether this is worth shooting for in gear (especially since you'd need to use food every time.) This is nowhere near as clear cut as maximizing CP on crafting gear.

The left-side ***keep's gear does have higher gathering/perception than what is possible through melds, though there are a few caveats to that:
- You need to get multiple pieces to cover for each other (e.g. the hat's lack of a gathering stat is covered by the boosted gathering on the gloves, and the other way around for perception)
- The final stats aren't all that much higher than what's possible through melds - maybe 5-8 gathering and 15 perception between the head/hands/legs/feet. So it's reasonable to argue for it not being worth all those scrips right now.
- You will take a hit on GP, though it's still fairly easy to get to 650 with melds (and possible to hit 700 with ludicrous melds on the accessories and food.)
