I'm not sure what you guys are doing to get the mobs attention that require you to need more hp, so far i've managed to get all 3 gathering jobs to 66 and only died once. I've also farmed mining / botanist materials in the lochs and have yet to get the monsters attention, though I have seen a few people begging for res but i've put that down to them being lazy and not wanting to move from their location.

Maeka, you're using stealth wrong if you are walking from node to node.... you have a flying mount that helps with travel time and so far i've only seen one location that requires you to use stealth to walk between two nodes. The rest of the time running and using the mount is all that is needed.
