So I know we get a lot of gear questions on this thread but I'm having a lot of trouble deciding how to upgrade my gathering gear.

Now for a bit of background, During 2.x, I was never interested in gathering at all. I think during that whole period, I got maybe the HQ class quest gear for botanist/miner/fisher and the level 48 Belt. My accessories are... well appalling as I never invested to get the BiS during 2.x. Non of my gear is melded either.

Currently my Miner is 60 (yay for 90 leves... :|) - 464 Gathering, 460 Perception

Botanist is 53 - 327 Gathering, 332 Perception

and Fisher is 50 - 259 Gathering, 201 Perception

I would like to know... What kind of gear should I go for to put my foot in to the correct door for gathering? Because I would definitely like to start doing the collectable stuff for gathering but I don't think I have enough GP (Under 600 GP). Should I buy the old BiS accessories from 2.x and meld those? Should I also invest in the old forager gear also?

My fisher is definitely a cause for concern as it has the lowest stats of them all and I definitely don't know what to do with that one
