With Stormblood just around the corner, I know that many gatherers may be hoarding their collectibles ready to power level. In this post, I'm going to go over the basic rotations used to obtain collectibles from Unspoiled Nodes. It's been a while since I did low level collectibles (Lv50 - 55), so while I will try to include rotations for these, they may not be 100% accurate.
These rotations all assume that you have your Perception for that particular node capped, and thus your Discerning Eye + Methodical Appraisal (referred to throughout this guide as DE+MA) will always do 172. They also assume that you have at least 600GP.
One thing to note about Gatherer Collectibles vs Crafter Collectibles is that gatherers want quantity, not quality. It is worth more EXP and scrips to gather more at the lowest collectibility than less at the highest.

( Yellow Copper Ore/Old World Fig Rotation (Level 50) )

( Blue Scrip (Lv56+, but can also be used for any item) )
-----------
( Red Scrip (LV60) )

( 8/8 Aethersand Rotation for Rainbow Pigments for Zhloe )
