Depends what kind of node you're looking for. I don't recall spending much time in PoF to harvest, but off the top of my head for SS (And it's been a while so may be remembering wrong). Ores: Croc caves or pirate caves (May be any cave system for rocks, can't remember) Bushes/Roots/Hides: Strip that has druid rings up to the waterfall and the camp with the SS carpet quest. Basically the greenish areas. Wood: Along the beaches or on the island with the chests (up top) and/or pirate islands. Fish: Uh... in the water.
