    Because you naturally have 400GP. Anything else is just gear adding on to it.
    It's the same reason you're not at max MP or HP when switching to a DoW class.

    Actually when you switch to -any DoW/DoM- job from DoL/DoH, it starts you off at 0 MP
    When you switch to -any- DoL class from DoW/DoM it starts you off at 400 GP.

    The difference is?

    Going to a combat class takes about 40-45 seconds to reach your full MP/HP when changed in a sanctuary.
    Going to a Gathering class takes about 2minutes to restore 200 GP.

    Please don't misinform people.

    ---

    As for the OP:

    I agree, I would like it if when we changed in sanctuaries, we were given a full replenishment of GP for our gatherers. It's pretty clear the game keeps track of our GP ticks regardless of job (So thankfully, I can get on a Combat class, kill for about 5 minutes, then get on Gathering and have 400 GP.)

    I understand their reasoning though. They want you to use Cordials if you want more GP, and since most gathering doesn't -require- the use of GP (You can mine anything without it really, you just won't get as much / as many HQ's) they want it to be a more limited resource.

    Compare this to Crafters who have to consume items when crafting, and I guess I see the logic, but it just comes off as annoying. It's especially bad if I choose to log out my character immediately after mining, and when I log in and want to hit a node I have an abritrary wait time because it -doesn't- track GP ticks while signed out.

    Well there wouldn't really be a way to stop you from switching to DOW -> Switching back to DoL, so you'd basically be arbitrarily stuck switching rapidly between the two. Putting the switch in the Sanctuary meanwhile would require you to go to town or be in a town for the switch to have it take an effect.

    I get your point and I share your frustration to be sure. Perhaps it would be better if they programmed it as it currently is when it tracks your GP and gives you the maximum you have from gear on XD I think this is perhaps the point that Canadane wanted to make - your Base GP is 400 so it restores up to 400 max while you're online.

    Let me share my frustration with you. When you have skills that uses 80%+ of your total GP on a single node and refreshment rate at 5 GP every tick/3sec on top of that cordials give only 300 GP with 4min cool down, it makes you wonder why do we have skills from the first place.

    You must have missed when you started at 0 GP when switching from a battle class. Starting at 400 is a blessing really.

    I still can harvest/mine everything regardless of my GP.

    But not at an insane rate of 12/15 per node.
