Dawnborne Aethersand

So if these really are obtainable from aetherial nodes, could people please post their rotations and required GP? (Obviously I'm talking about nodes with only 4 gathering attempts)

I use Discerning + Impulsive, x2 -> Discerning + Methodical, 600 GP total. If Impulsive procs, replace Discerning with Single Mind for another swing. If you're not getting enough points, use Utmost + Instinctual instead. If that still fails, use Last Ditch.

I've found it more profitable to go for quantity rather than quality so ive been doing this.http://i.imgur.com/jrV4n5Z.jpg


Usually i get 4 attempts at this rotation per gathering time i guess... using cordial to get back to 600 gp.


Rotation:

Impulisive > if proc > Single mind > meth > single mind + Discerning eyes > meth > collect

if no proc > meth > meth > collect > move on

whats your perception molic? mine is a measly 110~ rarity from meth

540, only new gear ive gotten since 3.0 came out is the trailblazer stuff free (blue script items), and i made an hq lvl 53 off hand tool, no melds. i do have lucis main hand though, but im sure with all the new crafted gear you can get a lot better stats than mine.

I'd like for someone to explain this. You hit for 172 with methodical with 540 perception but I can hit only 115 with 665 perception?

That would be a Methodical with Impulsive proc / Discerning. 115 Methodical is the hard cap without buffs.

Impulsive apperisial has a 30% chance to give you the Discerning eye buff ( a free 200 gp move), if you get that buff methodical will hit for 172. I wrote the rotation i used down below the picture, idk if you skipped over it.

Your log didn't show Discerning Eye so I assumed that was a base hit. Nevermind then.

Interesting that your Impulsive did 155. That seems to indicate a +50% quality buff.

I'm starting to wonder if there is a small chance to HQ an appraisal swing. A HQ swing would be equivalent to using DE.
