A very small tip, almost not worth making a thread over

When gathering with monsters nearby, instead of using stealth, get your chocobo out, right click the monster and let it take aggro. Happy gatherings ^^

As long as your chocobo can handle the monster alone, the monster doesn't have an AoE that could potentially hit you regardless of enmity (or due to range), it's not an area with multiple aggressive monsters to undo the safety, and the time saved running somewhere else without Stealth is actually put to use, AND there's no chance of it respawning with instant enmity on you mid-node, sure. Knock yourself out.

i have one of those very small tips too: only move between 3 gathering points and not all 4. and make sure the gathering point with the bonus is one of the 3. works also great with the lvl 50 gathering points for crystal farming. 2 have crystals in it, 2 don't. just move between the 2 with crystals and one of the others.
