A minority of gatherable items have a chance to not appear at their gathering locations. There is an ability (Luck of the Pioneer/Mountaineer) that costs 200 GP you can use to reveal these items on a single node.

It's nice that this was removed from Stormblood and later expansions, but the mechanic still exists in A Realm Reborn/Heavensward. For the sake of permanent relevancy with gathering (leveling, collectables, submarines, etc.) in these parts of the game I'd like to see the feature removed.
