Long before I did tmaps I would run triple gatherers. I did this for about 6 months, getting bored and even turning two of my gatherers to fighting gatherers.
Gathering can be BORING – so I understand the hesitation. At the same time seeing ingots sell for 120k an order I felt the need to post this (they were 75-80k when I did it and was bringing in around 350k an hour) .
I ran three different builds (2 miners and 1 lumberjack). My LJ just sat at Nusero all day and would wait for Antisocial to pop up to fight (he’s banned now for doxxing and threats so don’t worry about him).
These were the builds I had at the time and the mining strip I ran on opposite ends with two chars at a 30 minute reset
I mined about 3,000,000 ore in this area
