Solution for crafting red scripts.

[Jade-Nephrite]

You probably know that you don't need that. Every node in the game can be harvested with mildly-overmelded (e.g. 14 total overmelds spread over 12 items) l140/150 crafted HQ gear and a Red Scrip mainhand. Get a i170 crafted offhand and you'll even better off. (e.g. 705 gathering, 717 perception, 614 CP).

When the new 3.1 nodes come with crazy min requirements I'd like to be ready, if they keep it at 9 Gathering Tokens per week I don't want to HAVE to buy new materials from the MB while I gear-up.

I understand that. My wife and I have reached the point where we are choosing between gearing up more, making 2-Star items for sale, and/or stockpiling Rowena's tokens, favor tokens (i.e. ooids, etc.) and/or favor mats (i.e. razicoat, etc.) so that when 3.1 drops we already have the mats to craft whatever we need/want. Not really sure how all that will shake out, the pendency of 3.1 has us are balancing raising gil to buy a house (we only started playing this year, so we aren't that rich yet) against being prepared for new gathering nodes and recipes.
