    To clear up your questions, we have checked with the Dev. team and found out the following.

    As a countermeasure against RMT activities, the probability of gaining items through gathering will start to decrease after repeated attempts over a long period of time. After a certain number of attempts, items will no longer be obtainable through gathering.

    To explain a little more on what goes on behind the scenes, there is an internal counter which measures how often a player has attempted gathering activities. Players will start with a maximum pool of 2,500, which will decrease by 10 each time a gathering attempt is successful and yields an item. Once this number decreases to 1,000, players will find it harder to obtain items. At 0, items can no longer be obtained through gathering.

    Stopping gathering for some time will bump this number back up. The recovery rate is currently set at 100 per hour.

    If you have ideas and feedback on this topic, please don't hesitate to let us know.
    If there is a limit to gathering ,is there a limit to crafting as well?

    I craft alot and I have not seen anything to indicate a limit. I think its just governed by the surplus/fatigue system. Would be nice for a dev to chime in and let us know though.

    I think you're right, it's just surplus sp/xp crafters have to worry about (other than running out of mats/ crystals ). But like you said, dev confirmation would be great.

    Sounds like an extra layer of fatigue...

    i was talking about my weaving, i went from 45-48 this week with it grinding, took alot of damn grinding to do that and im gonna repeat it once the penalty resets


    its the same in the end, really, the level means nothing if you continuously grind
