    Please Add Grade 6 BOT & MIN Nodes

    I'd love it if we could get up to G10, but it looks like SE has decided that instead of giving us G10 like fishers they will nerf fishing.

    Ranking up past r40 for BOT or MIN is painful, horribly painful. Please, just open up G6 nodes instead of ignoring the Botanists and Miners.

    Agreed. Grade 5 should be optimal for 38-48 only but the option should be there for people to target higher grades. Imagine the complaints if every mob in the game was capped at rank 48!

    Well there are tricks you can do to speed things up but nothing on the scale of a grade 10 fisher node.

    A difficulty they'd have to resolve is...what do you put in there? Grade 5 nodes already have R50-70 spread utility. Grade 6 would either provide redundant yield which doesn't make sense, or it would provide unimplemented yield, which makes less sense.

    It'd have to be a novel gathering experience, at that point it becomes unfair to the poor fishers...sortof. Screw fishers nevermind. Freaking grade 10 what is that. Honestly.

    Well from the sounds of the Q&A they dont want to add any more nodes and probably are just going to take away the fishing nodes. I am getting in my cheating fishing lifestyle now when I still can!

    I'd love G10, and I don't care about the yields all that much. With gathering fatigue it could literally take you a week to go up one rank.

    Grade 5 has the same things as grade 4 anyway except for one or two new things. Mahogany trees for botany and gold ore for mining. That's pretty much it. Oh there's Dragon obsidian too for mining but that only exists because SE forgot to remove it when they removed things like darksteel and ebony.

    So it stands to reason that grade 6 would have almost the same stuff as grade 5, just more of it with some new items. Tier 3 gems maybe (which do have recipes). They can add some new filler drops such as a new type of bone with recipes. Same with botany. It's easy to add new materials and give them recipes. They only need about half a dozen and the players will be happy just for the SP. They can still keep the meaty items like platinum, darksteel, ebony etc. for grade 7 or 8.

    I think you all are focussing way too much on SP.
    You really should only be taking your gatherer out for specific stuff. Not to grind it for levels.
    Don't grind sp on your gatherer! Focus on the mats!

    Normally I'd agree, but I want to be high enough to scan grade 6 when it does come out. My gatherers are on hold until they boost the leves and SP anyway.
