    I got my board on release day and have sold three since. I know that sounds jerky, but my intent here is to show how easy it can be with full info.

    Forget crafting EX+. I can get gold on those with pentamelded crested gear but it's still too rng-heavy and frustrating. I would only recommend it if you really enjoy expert crafting for some reason (with food, tisane and pentamelded crested)

    EX+ gathering (MIN and BTN) I can gold every single time with ample time left. Here are the details:

    -Pentamlended crested gear but use the relic main hand for the collectible bonus.
    - Rain weather botanist mission, cloudy weather miner mission OR
    - 12:00-3:59, 20:00-11:59 time restricted missions
    -Weather missions are best imo because weather can last a long time and, unlike time restricted, you don't have to reduce. The mission just scores as you collect.
    - I only use 4 abilties. Only meticulous for increasing collectibility. Only spend GP on the plus integrity ("extra whack") and use the bonus when it procs. The forth ability is the duty action, which you can just use before meticulous whenever it's available. Use Hi-cordial after the first node.
    -For the time restricted missions, aim to begin your reductions around 3:00 to meet the 2:10 gold time. As you do these, you will get a feel for when you can start reducing earlier based on luck at your first couple nodes.

    Good luck! Gear is important. I have shared this with many people in game and testimonies are that getting even silver with everseekers is difficult. With penta crested, it's gold every time.

    Yeah, i'm going to try Ty for the tips ! I mostly focused on crafter missions, bc honestly i didn't even plan to deal with gatherer stuff, the constant no gp while i was on the moon got me sick of it very fast, but i know they changed the gp regen now hoping its going to be better ! In the process of unlocking missions on my gatherers.

    Yep! They changed it so you get all the GP you used during a mission back after you complete it! And the cordial timer gets reset too. So basically you are starting fresh with each repeat.

    I belive new vendor scrip gear comes out soon. It's usually not too far after the crafted set is released. It will have the same base stats as crested, just no pentameld option. I would guess gold or silver would be possible with the EX+ gathering missions with the newest scrip gear, so give it a shot! Silver is 4x multiplier compared to the x5 for gold, so really not too many more repeats for going for that board.

    gl!
