Purchase gathering turns with treasure.
- No limited to turns purchasable
- Cost increases with gathering level
- Cost of a turn > avg. sell value of items
- Option to purchase comes after all free turns are used
- No EXP from purchased turns
- (maybe?) Price scaling with successive turns, resetting at rollover
- (maybe?) Diminishing returns with successive turns, resetting at rollover
Pros:
- Treasure sink
- Lets people do more gathering, something a lot of people have been wanting in some shape or form for a while now
- Makes an otherwise rather boring mechanism a little more engaging
- Alternative revenue stream for people who don't coli (provided they're willing to risk RNG of gathering bad/good items)
Cons:
- ?
Holidays could be handled 3 ways:
- Costs more
- Can only gather non-holiday items in purchased turns
- Disable purchasing turns during the holiday

This is an interesting idea, but would you be able to switch between purchased turns and normal turns? Or would your purchased turns always come after your normal turns?
It would be a good way of farming ingredients needed for baldwins too even if you don't manage to break even with the items you gather with the extra turns.

I would propose that you can't get gathering EXP on extra turns, only on your regular turns.
This is an interesting idea! I'm surprised I haven't heard of it before now

Support. I think it would definitely make the mechanic more engaging.

Could also implement diminishing returns, so doing more than a specific amount gets you less goodies than initially.

Rhea Mmmm personally I'd also see the price scale with each time you use it that day, and it resets the next. So the first time you use the extra gathering turn, it costs 10kT. The next time it's 12kT. The next it's 15kt and so on. It's still going to be used, but this adds to the treasure sink idea imo.
I'm neutral about diminishing returns, but I can see the value of a lot of rare gathering materials and thereby their swipp/baldwin counterparts dropping pretty quickly as wealthy players gather over and over to farm these materials.

Major Support!
As someone who doesn't grind in the Coliseum this would be a great way for me to earn additional money to fund all my *mad projects*
I can't think of any major cons or improvements that haven't already been mentioned so kudos to Rhea!
