It seems to be needed for fishing. Check out this thread: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...east-of-Famine

My fisher alt has forager's hat and rod, i70 battle accessories with +5 each gathering and perception on each piece, totals 349 gathering 291 perception.

The new legendaries take 400 or more gathering....
