Gathering BiS 700GP

[Cleanse]

...So? This is almost always a issue with gathering as new nodes are released that put us in that 70%-95%. I have no doubt the i190 gear will push us to 95% but that doesn't really matter anymore. what will matter in 3.4 is having that 700 GP so u have room to use that 15% rate ability to actually get the new items.


I imagin the nodes we get in 3.4 will put us at 85% with the current gear level.

We will probably need _some_ of the new gear for 3.4 nodes and definitely not everything. I have mostly all of the white gear overmelded and can gather as well as people with full red scrip gear.

My question was simply 'How big of a benefit would making a full Ironworks set help?'. If I have full BiS and still need to use the same actions as someone with a lower tier set of gear, then aside from visuals it seems like a waste. However if we make BiS and I can gather an extra 5 items per node at a higher HQ chance it would be worth it.

Have not looked to see just which nodes this applies to, but the new gear will allow you to make use of new conditionals, such as +1 Gathering Attempts or +2 Gathering Attempts, that were not on the nodes prior to 3.3. The old i180/i170 gear set does not provide you with enough stats to make use of these new conditionals except for when they appear on the Chysahl/Adamantite Ore nodes.
