“Owing to its ready accessibility, the area surrounding the Moongate Hub is favored as a material collection point. As the initiative progresses, however, over-reliance on this sector will likely have a detrimental impact on the environment. To avoid this, we must determine current resource levels in the area and assess the gathering potential of newly established sites, that we might more evenly distribute our resource gathering. A range of samples from different sites will aid in this endeavor.

Strategy
Due to the longer mission timer, it is more GP-efficient to go for Gatherer's Boons. (It not necessary to attempt both, but both options will be outlined below.)
Gatherer's Boon is an effect which has a chance of happening when gathering. The higher your Perception rating, the better chance you have of triggering this effect.
Additionally, two actions increase the odds of triggering Gatherer's Boon. These effects last for until the node is exhausted, and can stack with each other:
Pioneer's Gift II increases the chance of Gatherer's Boon by 30% for 100 GP.
Pioneer's Gift I increases the chance of Gatherer's Boon by 10% for 50 GP.
The Chain count is based on consecutive successful gathering attempts from a single node. Getting the largest number of attempts on a single node is key.
Chain values of 3 or more give significantly more points, but these require specific actions to gain additional gathering attempts on a node.
- Starting GP of 900 is recommended; 600 GP is the next best option.
- Turn off automatic gathering. This way you will be able to use actions between gathering attempts.
- Use
Ageless Words to gain extra gathering attempts for 300 GP per use. This may also proc 
Wise to the World, which also grants an additional attempt but with no GP cost.
You can only use these abilities when the number of gathering attempts remaining for the node is less than the starting value (usually 4) and greater than 0.
