gatherbuddy is wonky at the moment. you either try making your own profile that only travels to flame cap nodes, or you can vendor/delete everything you dont want.
with herbs stacking to 200 now, its very hard to run out of bagspace.
but, just for an experiment, make a new folder, extract a fresh honorbuddy into that folder and see if that folder with nothing added to it will reproduce the issue. if it still happens then you can delete the fresh folder. if it fixes the issue, you will know its something in the old folder that is affecting your gathering and you can delete the old folder. this takes about 5 minutes max to setup a fresh honorbuddy folder as a baseline for comparing.
