a. Best for gathering – Queen Jindeok
i. Her 1st Specialty is a 40% gathering bonus from any rss tile on the map or a 20% gathering bonus from the Alliance rss
ii. You want to acquire up to 6 of her as eventually you will have 6 marches that can gather overnight
b. 2nd best – Constance
i. Her 1st Specialty is a 20% gathering bonus from any rss tile on the map

ii. 10% increase in gathering speed when gathering any rss
