Gathering stat in ARR

[Reika]

So, now that the mini game is going away from gathering, what will become of the gathering stat in ARR?

[Raldo]

The gathering stat will likely perform as it currently does for your offhand -- it determines your rate of success.

look at the mini game again, there are %'s. all the stats will still be needed

Heh well in the presentation of gathering, thats not mini game. You just click on when you want to aim for and bam it hits it. Still get other stuff at random, but theres no approach or strike phase that was the mini game of it all. And good riddence!

saying gathering will determine the %,
output will determine the times
and perception will determine the HQ

Will we be able to gather at different locations as many times as we want or will random gathering points pop in and out?

_I still don't understand the reason behind random gathering points, it's not like it's should be harder that farming on a DoW. With a DoL, it should promote more areas to farm Mats thus making it just as enjoyable as a DoW.
_When I need Mats, shouldn't have to worry about where to go get it.
