    What's the point of +25~30% gathering rate nodes?

    If you need enough Gathering to get the node to 90% in order to activate the special effect in the first place. Did I miss something?

    Sounds like a bit of exaggeration here...
    1) Higher level nodes you will likely be less than 90% at the required Gathering to get the bonus
    2) For items you have not yet dug up (the ones that start at 25%) it helps bring it up to 50%, and your ability can bring it up to 100% to actually expose the item for sure
    3) the 30% figure I've only seen on fortune bonus, meaning HQ chance. No amount of perception will bring you above 15% HQ chance. Node bonus and abilities are the only way to get above that 15% cap.
