Red Scripts (gathering)

[silverhope]

Adamantite Ore and Chysahl Greens are not Legendary nodes. They give 8 Red Scrip and can be collected twice an hour (AM and PM). Honeydew Almonds and Aurum Regis Ore are Legendary Nodes, give 8 Red Scrip, and can be collected once an hour (one is collected in the AM, the other in the PM.)

Six nodes per hour.

gotcha.. but the point of the OP is that were so tied to timers its sickning.

Right... but you only have to do this for less than five hours a week to reach 450/450. Once its capped you have the rest of the week to relax. Takes less time to cap Red Gathering Scrip than it does to cap your Esoterics. You don't even need to pay attention for those five hours. Can do other things in between your 5, 9, and 11 (pm/am) timers. Not sure what the big deal is (^_^)

your missing the RNG of it all. your math is nice if its 100%.. but we all no form farming blue that is hardly even close to that. you can only get 1 or non on some nodes and if that happens it make your time per week alot longer

I am missing nothing! It is 100% Guaranteed if you are geared for it.

652 Gathering, 648 Perception, 650 GP (no food).

Every attempt starts with Sharp Vision - 50GP. Makes your Gathering chance 100%. 600/650 GP Remaning

Blue Scrip Farming
Discerning Eye + Methodical Appraisal

Red Scrip Farming
Discerning Eye + Methodical Appraisal
Discerning Eye + Methodical Appraisal

Edit: Red Scrip is about 90% Guaranteed with 650 GP and 661 Perception (gives your hits 157 Collectability x3). 100% with 700GP. If you get a -50, -100, -150, or -200 GP Bonus on your node you can use your extra left over GP for Sharp Vision II to reach 100% with only 650 or 600GP respectively.

The stats I have are the base stats required just to be able to Gather and HQ Folklore Nodes. The GP is overmelded but that can be remedied with cheap +30 GP Food if you didn't want to meld. Technically if you overmeld perfectly you can reach 700 GP (with Food), gather 5 Blue Scrip items per node, at 500 Collectability with about a 90% success rate. My gear is just using base Folklore stats.

Gala.. for someone who prolly spent over 10 mil to get gear and get lucky on melds to come and tell everyone who is in either blue script gear or have spent a few mil on gathering gear and "safe" meld that its ez cuz you can do it.. is a joke. IM talking about the masses, the people who are just starting, the people who are not rich. How on earth can normal players gather these is a good time frame so its a job.

no its 600 gathering 650 perc and 600 gp for folklore it jsut takes 2 swings to unlock

Rich? Lucky on Melds? I have Perception +6 in the Main and Offhands. Gathering +6 and Perception +6 in everything else. That's pretty much as basic as you get considering 80% of those Melds are a 100% chance. If +6 are too expensive you can use two +3's instead. Even if you stick with 600GP you still have a 95-97% chance to gather on Blue Scrip Nodes with that gear. The gear isn't even expensive when you buy the HQ mats and Craft it yourself or tip someone to craft it for you.

One swing if you have 650+ Gathering. I have 640/664/607, then use cheap food just to get to 650 gathering and I'm good. Can get between 2 and 4 unspoiled red scrips nodes with 95% gathering rate and 2 legendary red scrips nodes with 80% chance. Having all the books for miner and botanist let me get around 48 scrips every eorzean day. More if I proc Discerning Eye or get GP reduction on legendary nodes, less if I miss an attempt.
