[Question for Devs] When does gear attributes apply to gathering?

Wumpus Amungus

Does quantity, rarity, speed, etc. on shirts, skivvies, and belts apply when I first start gathering? Or does it only matter that I'm wearing them when the item goes into my inventory (after the last swing of the axe, sickle, pickaxe, etc.).

I have my shirts and skivvies on a hot bar and can swap them while I'm actively gathering. If I change them mid-gather, is it too late or will the bonuses on my clothes still apply to the item(s) going into my inventory?

if it works like processing gear then it be when u initiate the harvest. Processing is applied when u hit the creat button not when u pick it up so makes sense that gathering follows the same rules

Processing XP is given when you click on Retrieve, not when you start processing.
