As for the gatherers they basically just seem to need at least 920 GP, a potion and the gathering to clear the collectible breakpoints (which i believe is 5400), once you hit all of that there is 5-6 out of the 12 that can be consistently golded with near no RNG

and I’m only mid tier pentamelded using island sanctuary materia rather than current tier, so it’s likely easier for people running around in 12/12/12/11/11 pentamelds
I'm guessing the the first 12 you was using steak as I had that same issue. Try using the craftsmanship food for the other 3 and you will hit gold
