New Patch Thoughts?

If you have the melded dwarven cotton / swallowskin set the facet gathering set is useless overkill.

All the legendary nodes were at 100% for me. In 5.0 they were 93 - 99%.

On an alt who is still in the yamashi set zonurskin maps, formerly 83%, are now 100%. Petalite is 100%, etherael cocoons are 98%.

Not true. It'll still raise the HQ chance. Its not as useful as the new crafting sets but still helps. I'll probably craft a set after I'm finished with my crafter gear.

I like quick gather. Auto Sneak is nice. Not seeing much difference to Aetherial Reduction but that's fine.

Personal preference if that makes it worth it, but due to Brunt Force, extra GP and an extra gathering attempt I'm getting more than enough HQ from legendary nodes. I'm using a cotton/swallowskin set with no overmelds, just 6's in the main slots and have 100% gather rate and 10% base hq. I see no reason to upgrade, especially since my current set allows me to convert my accessories to materia continually. Seems overkill tbh.
