People were doing it in the gear from moghome to spiritbond with. There are no minimum stats.

Concealed nodes spawn as a result of depleting regular gathering nodes while under the effect of the favor. Ooids and equivalent have the same difficulty to gather as normal items that are rated at level 60. Roundstones are a bit higher difficulty, but you're still in the range of 55-60% gather success rate even if none of your gear adds to your gathering stat apart from your MH+OH. Since a given concealed node has one ooid and maybe one roundstone, you're fine at those rates (and you can always use the +50% skill for the last swing if you have to.)

So yeah, no stat requirement to speak of. Higher Gathering will let you be a tiny bit faster due to failing gathers on the ooids less often, but that's pretty much it. Feel free to break out a crafting spiritbond set for this if you want.
