Post f2p patch did they make gathering tools only avaiable for vouchers? if so that litterally *cupcake* if I want to go for a dual gathering setup. 
 
The only npc I found with gathering tools in Illium is Research Commissioner Tyranea.

Just confirmed this myself.
 
You can only buy "Novice" level of gathering tools for 99 copper. But to get better tools you need to spend vouchers and you only get those from doing work orders.	
----
			Well then I guess your solution is to complete work order daily and then buy the other farming tool. Or buy the multi harvester on the store pretty cheap if u buy with omni bits then you don't have to chop n change all the time.

			There are no work order dailies for gathering professions.	
----
			Well this is hilarious. xD Carbine...	
----
			I don't consider this a bad thing. Previously there was an incentive to get the crafting dailies done because their respective talents gave you a talent point. Now, since that doesn't exist, the lure to get the crafting quests done is the vouchers. Early levels would not need the vouchers, so they added the gathering tools. Does not seem like a poor choice, to me.

A crafter doing crafting dailies does not need a gathering tool. A gatherer who cannot do crafting dailies needs a gathering tool. I fail to see how this was a smart decision. xD

			Then they should not allow you to pick up two gather professions.

Oh I see that they want to incentivize purchasing their cash shop tool. I think this change was rather unnecessary, however.
 
You can do crafting/crafting, by the way. I have a tailor/armorcrafter. I also have multiple alts with two gathering professions that I chose before drop 6. Now they are getting penalized...?

			Ah... I had the impression they had once said it was not possible. Well, the more we learn. Still, that doesn't even need a gathering tool :P
