Gathering skills are those which entail harvesting, mining or gathering resources for Crafting professions to use. A player can have all gathering skills, however, they take a long time to master. Rare items take 20% off of the resource

[edit] Tier System
Gathering works on a tier system.
- Level 20: Tier 1
- Level 50: Tier 2
- Level 70: Tier 3
I have recieved rare at 18%, so i dont think the node needs to be 20% or higher
