Went through 5 guides until coming across yours. Other ones just focused on "get this gear, go there" not explaining anything. This really helped me as a totally new player.

Every youtuber: go do corrupted dungeon for money.

This dude : Sit for 30mins finding rocks and leaves and you will be fine.

12:40 yea maybe it's not as efficient to buy the gear on 4.3 but you need it to flex on other gatherers so I take it
