Sometimes at non-yield bonus nodes I get +3 or +4 on Pick Clean... is there some hidden factor to the bonus that it gives? It seems a little odd.
Seems to be a bonus, applied randomly. I've never seen a +4 to Yield though (which would be 5 items per gather), only +3 (4 items per swing).
The bonus can apply right up to ShB nodes but will only apply to items already at a +2. I opened a ShB node once where the lv71 item and the Crystal gained a +3 but the other items which are usually +1 stayed at +1.
It's based on Perception, but I don't think anyone's quite worked out the breakpoints for it yet.
It just says 1 or 2 in the tooltip but have seen myself and friends get +3/+4 sometimes and inconsistently on node that don't have any yield bonus. So strange.
I haven't seen a +4 but I have seen +3 on gathering chance up nodes, like for silver ore.
