Average Gathers per Hour 150-250 (depending on node locations, 3 nodes ~40y apart can get all the way to 250/hr) = Somewhere between 85-140 hours. The problem is gathering fatigue only allows you to do ~4 hours per day before it hits and just frustrates you while you can synth for much longer periods of time giving you the "feeling" that DoH tools are quicker, when in reality they are the same time investment basically.

Fishing, on the other hand, its around average 70-80 gathers per hour, or around 300 hours for the gold rod.. its the only "Gold Item" that has a significant time difference than the others.
You still can, kinda. You just need to be able to see the synth out of the corner of your eye in case of HH half-failing, at which point you enter spam as usual. Only thing HH adds is the need to push Up periodically. >_>
