Gathering feels a bit off.

First of , i love to gather mats , i am a collector....or a pack rat....
#I dont think Gathering is getting the 5x drop rate.
i have been doing a bit of gathering, manage to figure out the worker a bit ,, enough to get a few going and pick some of those potatoes and corn to make that beer for them to keep going. ok so at 5x the amount of collection ... dont think is happening at all ... at most i get one ore and 2 stones(rocks not jewels) corn and potatoes i get between 1 and 2 no special drops at all. I believe is 5x lower than regular server. and remember it takes five ore to smelt to one melted ore and 3 melted ore to get one ingot and we need 10 to 20 ingot to make one item ...i have been working 7 hours to make one pickaxe and i am still short 4 ingots. please take a look at the gathering drop rates. and then add another 5x to it.

 

If you haven't invested in nodes yet then I guess its time. Investing in nodes increase your personal gathering, your workers, and mob drop rates in the area.
