gathering in nature

[Duuude007]

In order to improve SP gain above rank 40, could gathering leves be given star ratings that would adjust to difficulty, via adding hostile spawns around nodes, and the rank difficulty of the node?

This can make eluder abilities and escorts/team play more valuable.

In order to improve SP gain above rank 40, could gathering leves be more effectively linked, so that more people = more items to gather in the leve and possibly... shared SP gain?

Quite frankly the link/share option, although available, is broken for DoL and needs a full revamp.

Can there be a feature gatherers can purchase with guild marks to scan for harvesting, quarrying, and spearfishing nodes?

Can the stats or quality of offhand tools ever allow improved item targeting or aiming?

It is presently extremely random for aim or success. at R40+ Botanist I still frequently miss even on grade 1 harvesting.

Can a high-rank dairy food be implemented for perception boost?

Highest perception food is rank 20-ish blue cheese which is so basic that it can be purchased from a vendor.

Can a larger variety of output, gathering and perception gear be implemented to allow DoL to stack stats more effectively based on "favors" and "requires" functionality?

To add challenge to this, some components may require outside support, such as the Mosshorn Scalemail requiring NM drop and high- level crafting to create.
To that end...

Could the stats on this Mosshorn Scalemail be rebalanced to benefit gatherers?

It has a very niche functionality as it is right now, so people simply do not consider mosshorn a worthwhile Notorious Monster. Making the piece of significant benefit to gatherers (i.e. better than linen coatee or tarred leather jerkin) would indirectly make Mosshorn far more competitive of a target.

My name sounds "trippy" but these are some of the greatest words of wisdom yet.

May I request a second like button? I have two thumbs and just giving this man one does NOT do his post justice.

Listen. To this. Man.

Man, almost feel like reposting him on a quote just to make sure everyone read it. Everyone.

Gathering Abilities and future :

Will Chocobo digging ever be implemented into the gathering ?

Currently you have sneak skills that only allow you to pass one enemy of a certain kind of enemies. Will Beastkin Eluder or Seedkin Eluder ever be adjusted?

Currently for botanist and miner we have skills that say increased chance at certain crystals i.e Byregot's Ward but these skills do not provide us with crystals at all. Are these skills mislabeled or is there plans to readjust them?

Gathering quests when?

What are the effects of attributes on gathering?

For my next question I think it would be a good idea for me first to give some reference to the question. I am unsure how many people are aware of this technique since I see few people actually do it. With the current game mechanics it is possibly to keep up a node indefinitely by cycling through four nodes instead of three. I like to call this the 4 node trick. With this trick you don't even have to gather. All you have to do is open up the gather mini game and back out. If you do that on four nodes it will reset the first node. This also means you don't have to completely finish gathering from a node thus never exhausting it. This also makes it extremely convenient when your targeting specific items. So this brings me to my question,

Is what I call the four node trick intentional?

Any plans for a visual/text indicator for when you're in gathering fatigue?

Questions:

Why are there up to grade 10 fishing spots and only grade 5 for mining and botanist? Do you realize that fishing can be much faster to rank up than mining/botanist?

Some fieldcraft leves make you run a ridiculous amount of distance from camp! Is that really necessary? The challenge in the leve should be in successfully gathering the items, not having to make us run thousands of yalms

A lot of gathering nodes are located near NMs! Any plans to fix this?

That's it for now

[Eruantien]

rather than go through all the questions posted ill just post my questions. Any duplicates I am sorry for the people going through these.

Any plan to remove Gathering Fatigue? If not is there anything to be done about the loss of sp during this process

Any plans for Group Activites? either gatherer with gatherers or any other mix of classes

Will we see nodes for mining and botany go past 5 in the future? as getting sp past rank 43 is really really slow compared to other classes who all have things they can grind on up to at least rank 50

with the new job based system will gathering classes be seeing any changes with it?

space is a serious issue with gathering classes especially with 4 times every single type of item, any chance to alleviate this issue? either with extra bag space for gathering classes or removing +1/2 mats

You can currently get multiple types of wood from a single tree. This makes no sense at all - would it be possible to simply add multiple types of trees to an area and have each tree contain different types of wood?

Following on from the above - why can I get wood from a cactus!? Eorzea is pretty weird.
