This.

I've seen people swap to, say, BTN and have their stealth "I'm not a combat job, don't attack me" ability up, run around and pick up all the items on the ground without aggro'ing anything, run back to the NPC, swap back to a combat job (now being out of aggro range of the mobs) and turn in everything. You don't need to be a level-synced fighty job to pick things up, just to turn them in.

So I'm assuming this isn't "you can't gather nodes in the area as a DoL job while FATEs are up" but rather "you cannot interact with and thus collect items off the ground as part of this FATE as a DoL job".
