Collectibles rotation

[AlereRaeder]

It's the best rotation I'm aware of.

There is in fact a higher yield rotation for red scrip gathering. Here it is:

Impulsive > Impulsive > Utmost Caution + Single Mind + Impulsive > Utmost Caution + (If any of the first 3 proc, replace DE with Single Mind) Discerning Eye + Methodical.

This rotation has higher yield over time. It guarantees 2 gathers and with 3 impulsives you can get a 3rd gather rather easily.

• This rotation cannot get 4 gathers which is perfect RNG from what KyegimyaAsura posted: .3 x .3= .09(9%) chance to get 4 gathers.

Even so with a possible 4th gather, the rotation I mentioned is better overall, and can get 2x 530 collectability if 1 impulsive procs and you DE the final Method or perfect RNG proc on the 2nd and 3rd impulsive can get you 3x 530 collectables.

Edit: Was thinking 480 not 470 doh!

If you want a quick and simple rotation that gives 2-4 gathers on red scrips:
(DE+Impulsive) 155 + (DE+Impulsive) <proc> 155 +(SM+Methodical) 172 = 482 3 gathers
(DE+Impulsive <proc> 155 + (SM+Impulsive) <proc> 155 + (SM+Methodical) 172 = 482 4 gathers
(De+Impulsive) 155 + (DE+ impulsive) 155 + (DE+Methodical) 172 = 482 2 gathers

Aetherial reduction:
Non hidden item or no impulsive procs: Impulsive 103 + impulsive 103 + methodical 115 = clusters and shards. Go touch two nodes at two different locations and return.
Hidden item: Impulsive <proc> 103 + (SM+UC+Methodical) 172 + (UC+Impulsive) 103 + (DE+Methodical) 172 = 550 1 gather 8/8 purity
Impulsive Impulsive 103 + Impulsive <proc> 103 + (SM+UC+Methodical) 172 + (DE+UC+Methodical) 172 = 550 1 gather 8/8 purity
Impulsive <proc> 103 (SM+UC+Methodical) 172 + Impulsive <proc> 103 + (SM+UC+Methodical) 172 = 550 2 gathers 8/8 purity

Hey Rath I see you around often thanks for contributing.

.

470 is the requirement for red scrips(450 blue). I would amend if the method appraisal you added here:

Impulsive 103+ impulsive 103 <proc> +(UC+SM+methodical) 172+ (UC+SM+methodical) 115= 493 = 3 gathers

actually made a difference to the amount you got from turning them in (500-529) which it doesn't, and does matter because both skills would get you over 470 and 3 gathers.

The rotation I posted is greater because it has a more expected value in terms of overall yield. Sure you can get 4 gathers with the simple rotation you posted and only 3 gathers with reddits; although, the simple one can only get a 3rd gather at a 60%(.3 +.3) and 4th gather is a 9%(.3 x .3=.09) chance if 2 procs back to back. With the one I posted you have 3 chances at getting a 3rd gather at a 90% chance( .3 + .3 +.3).

Getting 4 gathers is great but I'm always getting 3 gathers at a 90% chance instead of 60%, and a slim 9% for that 4th gather. (correct me if im wrong)
