Maxed out on skills and still getting mostly rank 2 herbs so I thought, maybe getting the best tools would push me over the top and I would start to harvest mostly rank 3 herbs.
So spent a considerable bit and got the tools giving me the +22 skill bonus for a total of 322 skill for most nodes and…
Mostly rank 2 herbs.
This is the kind of in game feedback that really discourages putting any effort into this game.
From about 140 skill to capped 322 skill… Same results. What was the point?
Its honestly rare I get rank 2 herbs anymore. Unless its from windswept cause I aint maxed that out yet.
I have a few points in windswept herbs left to finish the knowledge trees and have maxed tools. I still get way under 50% rank 3 for herbs above hochenblume. The few other herbalists I know get about the same percentages. The only difference can be the stats we have on our profession tool - I have finesse with a perception enchant.
Tool tip says it’s skill that effects quality and perception increases your chance to get rare things, which I assume are things like the skill upgrades and seeds. But my perception is around 30% and I don’t think I even see 30% of my gathers being rank 3 herbs.
322 skill for frigid /titan / windswept writhebark and bubble poppy and it’s still mostly rank 2.
I think you start getting mostly rank 2 around 140 skill. So what in the world is this other 182 skill points for?
And if that 182 points don’t matter for squat what’s the point of the gear that gives you 22 points of that?
Just comes off as a placebo system.
It’s one thing to put in a long drawn out tread mill to a worthwhile goal. It’s something else to put one in to nowhere.
i find this…unbelievable
I think something got lost in translation there.
I think 322 skill is as high as you can go for harvesting a node and that still results in about one in ten harvests being rank 3.
Nah you can also get the flasks that increase skill by another 75. Very underutilised imo
Really?
Appears I was wrong, just a troll.
