How do you all deal with it? I'm referring to those 4-5 levels where you get less than 200 exp per successful harvest, but still don't have the next gathering search skill. Specifically, levels 14-18, 24-28 (and presumably) 34-38.

I've already mostly outstripped my use for the rank 3 woods (elm, Yew (lol) and Walnut) after hitting rank 26 CRP. I have a stockpile of lumber...

But I'm looking for a way to make the exp come in quicker to get to those oak logs in coerthas. So far, my best "luck" has been to go to the humblehearth location and use off hand gathering / trees of higher levels than myself Humblehearth seems to work because unlike coerthas it's not spread out and very easy to find the nodes. It's worked pretty well (220 exp on failure, 450 on success, which is more than the 75 / 150 for rank 3 nodes) but I'm curious if there is a more effective way.

P.S. harvesting mats sell for virtually nothing from my experience also. Between 400-1000 on the markets which is hardly enough to justify putting them up.
