Talk:Gathering

Ishgardian Restoration vs. other ways

It depends on the definition of easiest. I look at collectables and see time tables and locations to move to. I see the Diadem, and you can just mindlessly gather along, clockwise as Miner, counter-clockwise as Botanist. There is no other factor than time, you go from node to node, there is no back and forth, just gather, gather, gather. And I count in the synergy with the gathered items making crafter levelling super-easy.

Not to mention that you get crazy amounts of crystals:
Now that my gatherers reached 90, I miss the constant flow of shards, crystals and clusters every single visit in the Diadem brought.
I haven't done that much crafting yet, but still sit mostly on the pool from the Diadem. (Only recently I ran out of Wind crystals, and collecting them straightforward with gathering is... annoying. There has to be a better way.) -- Twilight (talk) 23:19, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
