Question Looking for tips on Gathering Resources and Crafting

I would love to contribute as a gatherer and crafter, especially now after breaking level 40. While online, I have not gotten much back in response about this, and I would love to know if we as a guild are lacking in any specific area, or if their are some smart ways about maximizing these skills. As it stands, gathering seems awkward and painful. Then again, I may be going about in a poor way. Often I find resources that are not respawning and have already been tapped. Looking forward to hearing back from you all!


Peace,
