Posted here in Noctis Leonhart's Guide to Botany it says "Gathering: Decreases the gathering remainder while logging.".

What exactly does that mean? Maybe I'm reading it wrong but I've no idea what is meant by "decreases the gathering remainder".

When gathering you get a remainder bar which is kind of like durability. When you select the position you want to chop, and do not hit the correct spot the remainder bar will decrease. Once the bar is completely empty your attempt has failed. However, you will have multiple tries on a node whether or not you fail or succeed.

Also when you’re gathering, your remainder bar will become empty if your attempt was successful. You will know by the sound made if you’re successful. You will receive the loot and it will move to your next attempt to collect more if there are any attempts left.

This is the same for all Gathering Classes.

If you have any other questions on gathering basics let me know.

Thanks for taking the time to explain that. I was wondering what it meant as well. You see, this is why Alla is my personal choice for gaming forums...

Edit: Never mind I found my answer here.

Quote:
Gathering: This stat effects how fast your remainder bar is depleted. The remainder bar goes down faster when you are attempting to obtain a rare/difficult material (i.e Mahogany branches/logs at rank 30). The higher your Gathering stat, the more attempts you'll have at finding the correct hit zone to obtain your material. I've tested this by using Mahogany Logs / Branches at rank 30 by doing two separate tests:
1) While lowering my Gathering stat by removing my body piece, whenever I encountered a Mahogany Branch, I would only get 2 attempts before my remainder bar hit zero and for the logs I would only get 1 attempt.
2) With full Gathering gear, while looking for the same items, whenever I encountered a Mahogany Branch, I would get 3 attempts before my remainder bar hit zero (as opposed to only 2 attempts without my body piece and lower Gathering), and for the log, I'd get 2 attempts instead of one.
As for harvesting, I believe that Gathering may simply effect your success rate while harvesting, but this I have not tested.
