Are Herbalism Mulches actually working? I’m currently stacking Finesse profession tools, I’ve unlocked Imbued Mulch and working on Empowered Mulch, I’ve had 10 seeds and 10 Imbued Mulches.
My baseline Finesse for regular herbs is 27%. Only 2 of these 10 Imbued Mulches actually resulted in a Finesse proc which is almost indistinguishable from baseline. How much Finesse are they actually supposed to give? There’s no tooltip for them and neither does the Herbalism window update the value when applied. Also, this entire tree is contrary to the base Botany specialization, that is herb gathering while mounted.
Mulches either need to be usable while mounted or we should be able to stack the effects of mulches, I.E. I use 5 mulches and get that bonus for the next 5 herb gathers.
All in all, I’ve made my bed and am lying in it, and it’s unusually uncomfortable. Can I get a softer pillow or something.

I believe the green quality mulch is something like 75 finesse, which is very much not worth it with how mycobloom prices are right now.
If that’s the extent and you have to apply it for every harvest, it’s very much not worth it.
I just tried using this today thinking it would be an instant thing, and i could gather the herb quicker. It took me out of flight form, had a cast longer than gathering the herb, then I had to still gather the herb. Then I got the exact same amount of herb as normal. Basically I spent 5 herbs to make something that required me to take twice as long to gather the same amount of material I would have gotten anyway.
If you are looking to use this, don’t bother. I agree with the other posters, not at all worth it. Even if they made it a buff that lasted 10 minutes would not be worth having.

I did a few experiments with them, concluded they were a waste of time and decided not to use them again.
