Node is being racist, should I report it?

Greetings, Masters of the Land,

The requirements needed to be able to increase the amount of times you can gather at a node is a set value between each race’s stats. The races you pointed out have racial stats that do indeed not meet the requirements for specific nodes; however, if we were to adjust the nodes mentioned in this thread there may still be situations where other nodes or races might not meet the natural stat requirements to increase the amount of times they can gather at these special locations.

The gathering nodes are set up so that any race can gather from any node, but by making adjustments to stats by melding material, making use of potions, or using food buffs, any race can also get the full advantage of these special nodes. We would like if players tried various methods to achieve these additional gathering attempts.

For gathering node requirements, we’ll continue to make sure the difficulty to meet the requirement isn't too far apart between races moving forward.

Suddenly, those STR potions became a lot more useful...

Sadly, the enormous cooldowns on potions, coupled with their brief duration, means that this is not really so. Anyone who wishes to take advantage of 5-hit nodes likely wants to do it over and over again during a single gathering session. Potion cooldowns mean they can only take advantage of the 5-hit node once every five minutes (or 4 min, 30 seconds for HQ). A gatherer rotating between nodes will come back to that 5-hit node WAY more often than that, so the actual benefits are pretty minimal.

I never thought of using a stat potion for gathering lol.. Interesting indeed.. Would usually just throw on a dps accessory or use melds.

Learn something new everyday lol
