      Ok we all know that this is a new feature of GB2. (Maybe could be added in ban form too)

      Here we can discuss about it so that we can find the most efficient value.

      What we can do is post something like this:

      RF:xxx (number)
      GB2 running for: XXhrs: XXmins
      Nods Collected: XXX
      Location: XXX
      Mine or Herbing :

      I just started running with RF set at 20 @ Howling Fjords -mining


      Ofc if someone has a better idea feel free to suggest your thoughts!

      What?

      That means your profile gets randomized by 100-400 which basically is half the continent. (Not half, but woha, way too much.)

      Here is the math behind randomization of Gatherbuddy.

      Distance to original hotspot from random hotspot: (Random(0.0 , 1.0) * 20 * RandomizationFactor) + (5 * RandomizationFactor)
      Angle from original hotspot towards random hotspot: Random(0,360)
      Height difference between original hotspot and random hotspot: Random(-5, 5)

      Examples:

      Randomization Factor = 1 (default)

      Distance : between 5 and 25

      Randomization Factor = 2

      Distance : between 10 and 50

      Randomization Factor = 10

      Distance: between 50 and 250

      and so on

      Honestly I don't get how it works.
      I just set it to Bounce and randomize by a factor of 10.

      Agreed this is sort of new to me. Is this similar to what GatherBro does?

      I guess so.
      Does it also randomize where to land next to each node?
