Collectable gathering rotations?

[Alisi]

I've had a hard time finding a collection of information on endgame gathering, and I was wondering what rotations everyone uses for gathering collectables. What are the most efficient rotations for blue scrips, red scrips, and Rowena tokens?

It is hard to find. I had the same problem. Basically, with collectables, you have three skills that cost no GP. Those are the appraisal skills. Two cost 10 dura and the other costs 15. You have a total of 30 dura in all. Think of that like crafting. If you go over, you can't collect. Discerning Eye buffs the quality of the collectable (think HQ bar in crafting) 200GP, Utmost Caution halves the dura lost for 100g, and Single mind makes it so that the next appraisal doesn't cost a turn for 200 GP (as in, a swing.)

So the basic rotation is dis eye -> meth app 3 times and collect. This will get you 2 collectables. When you have the lvl 58 set, you'd do dis eye -> meth app twice and single mind -> meth app and collect for your blue scrips. This'll get you 3 collectables. ATM (since my gear is high enough) I do dis eye -> implus app -> dis eye if no proc or single mind if proc'ed -> implus app -> dis eye if no pro or single mind if proc -> meth app when I'm gathering my red scrips. This gets 2 to 4 collectables. For the special collects to turn in for the foil (or whatever it's called), I do DE -> meth app -> DE -> meth app -> Utmost -> meth app -> utmost -> meth app and collect. This gets one at a very high level.

To get my red scrips, I tend to go after the greens and ada ore collectables. Those two are back to back. Work on getting to 600GP, first and foremost. Don't forget to do the quest for the ephem nodes too. You use the collectable method to gather those too, so you can break them down.
