Sorry if these are repeats

In "Yalms", What are the dimensions of one square on a map?
How much distance is between you and a gathering point when "Quicken" doesn't activate while using skills such as Prospect I-IV?
Are there factors such as Moon Phases, Time of Day, and Weather Conditions that affect the Drops Rates and Quality of items obtained through gathering?
While gathering "hides" for leather working, is it safe to assume that every item that a mob drops can also be dropped as a +1/+2/+3?
Ill post more later...
