Node is being racist, should I report it?

Yeah, Seeker of the Sun here, melded 2 INT to a ring. Although seeing the suggestions to join a party, or carry around low level stat pots to get that extra gather once every few times around the gathering circuit are interesting think-outside-the-box ideas, I'm still looking through my CUL Masterbooks for some recipes with main stats on them...

I'll save you some time and tell you that since 2.0 there aren't any foods that add base stats (except VIT, which all combat food adds). Potions add primary stats (for amusingly short durations) while food adds secondary stats and vitality.

This is less of a problem since Forager's gear as others have shown. I always use one of my MNK's rings when mining cobalt though since I haven't made any Forager's equipment yet (except sledgehammer) and there's literally no difference in performance on that node (or the botany node in Southern Thanalan) by removing a ring if you have more than a few melds.
