Hi-Cordial works fine. GP regen plus one Hi-Cordial means my GP will be topped off when the next timed node spawns 6 minutes later. I can do normal gathering while waiting and still get a considerable number of items gathered without the use of GP (though usually I can squeeze in a couple of BY/BHII). If I have need to use GP between the timed nodes, I can always use the Hi-Cordial on cooldown instead of only once every 6 minutes.

We're not intended to be gathering from every active timed node (other than the Ephemeral triplets).

We're not intended to be GP capped for every node.

We're not intended to hit 1000 on Ephemeral Nodes every time and even without using GP on a node we still have a chance to produce an Aethersand when we start using Reduction on what we've gathered.

I don't think Revisit is supposed to be a Cordial replacement at all. I think it's an attempt to make gathering more interesting by inserting the random "win".

And I have to admit, it's worked pretty well on me. It feels good when Revisit procs on Legendary nodes, that is a huge benefit (especially when I'm gathering from them as much for spiritbond as stockpiling for now).

As for frequency of procs, for me it seems to have been in the 10-15% range. I don't know if the difference compared to what others experience is pure RNG or if chance to proc is influenced by Gathering/Perception/GP like node bonuses and collectable rating are. Nothing in the tooltip states that those influence it but you never know.
