Remove +'s on Gathered Items

Nah they are the same difficulty/rank. Limonte = Iron ore = iron sand, Gold ore = Gold sand, and there is no mythril or copper sand, they did that one right... Yellow ore... just a recipe with strange results like jade. Now they should do with gold and iron what they did with mythril. Yoshida mentioned something about there being 'too many recipes'. 3 recipes to make one thing is 2 too many. Taking the 2 of the 3, or 1 of the 2, whichever, will reduce the amount of recipes. Will also reduce the amount of recipes for steel nuggets from 6 to 2. And still, will save inv space while gathering by not having to have all these same-yet-non-stacking materials. Add the removal of +1 and +2's and inv space will be saved.

By removing things like iron sand, the % chances of items appears would need to be adjusted to avoid the rarer items becoming more common.

I don't know about you guys, but I at least would prefer to get iron sand over more zinc ore.

I like the way things are. They might end being used for different recipes later on...just because an item only have 1 recipe right now doesn't mean it will always have 1 recipe...let's see when darksteel and other metals appear.

I think instead of dropping +1,2,3 altogether they should just have normal and +, drop the extras. That way at most a single type of item is taking up 2 spaces instead of 4 and you still have a superior quality item to use.

I would be absolutely against the removal of +1 and +2 when gathering. If they where to do it the same way they did it for battle that would put a huge dent in my hqing potential. Lets look at one of my recent gather sessions on silver sand.
54% NQ
22% +1
16% +2
8% +3

So if they where to change it how they did for battle that would put it at
76% NQ
24% +3

Another thing to consider it seems that when you gather a +3 it typically is a lower yield amount. How many times do you get hard cap yield as +3? I hardly ever see it while I get hard cap +1 and +2 all the time. Would this change still keep it a rare occasion that you would get maximum yield at +3?

Overall I think I would much prefer half of my items of various high qualities instead of 3/4 being NQ and the last fourth being +3.

I've no problem with any of the above issues.
