Several of you didn't understand the point someone else made regarding gathering leves and fatigue.

Yes, during a leve you do not see the *effects* of fatigue. Under the hood, however, your allowance of daily gathering continues to decrease. If your fatigue level is at zero, and you do six leves, you could suddenly be something like 75+ gathers towards items breaking when you do normal gathering.

SP drops off a lot as you approach new leves ranks, and it does even moreso at 45+ when you are still only able to do leves given at r35. But for the most part, there is very little reason, if any, to do any gathering leves once you are in the 40's. Somewhere between 41-43 you'll be able to gather every single item at grade 5, so there's no need waste gathers/fatigue for something that really isn't going get you gathering items.
