I hate to complain but wth is going on over at PA.

Its disappointing to see yet another region where there is barely anything going on in terms of gathering.

The amount of snowy cedar trees, jade and obsidian is so ridiculously low.. it makes the handful of dead trees in driegan look like a forest.

I was pretty hyped about the new alchemy recipes but it looks like youre going to have to gather for about 20 hours to be able to make 100m in profit from the new elixirs.
Alchemy materials have always been 50 times harder to get than cooking materials but these new recipes are next level and SO not worth it, I dont even know how to describe it, since gathering for alchemy has never been worth it and now has somehow become 20 times worse than before.

Also wth is up with these alchemy artifacts and lightstones. All the bonuses are completely useless with the exception of alchemy exp, which is a meme anyway.
