Need some help getting to 530 collectability.

Here's how to guarantee yourself two Chysal Greens with enough rating.

Methodical, methodical, Utmost, Single mind, Methodical, Utmost, Discerning eye, Methodical.

Gather two.

this equates to: 10 item wear methodical (115), 10 item wear methodical (115), 5 item wear methodical (115), 5 item wear buffed methodical (172) or 115 + 115 + 115 + 172 = 517. As Shadygrove mentions above, that means actual gathers are more often in the 510-520 range, and rarely anywhere near 530+.

The most promising rotation, and the one I use is this one, that I've seen before on reddit:

the best rotation i know for red scrips when you have the ideal stats (115 from unbuffed methodical) is actually:

UC + SM + Impulsive -> Impulsive -> Impulsive ->
................(if at least 1 Impulsive gave you buff): UC + SM + Methodical.
...................................................(if all failed): UC + DE + Methodical

In average this gives slightly more red scrips than the other method and you have a ~20% chance to gather with 530+ collectability so you can farm for counterfoils as well while doing your weekly cap.

As he mentions, it has a higher expected payout (if you understand the statistical term)for gathers and it averages around 474-481 collectability, but when you get two impulsive procs will be in the neighborhood of 522+ (decent chance of getting 530+ collectability... maybe 40%?), and three procs will bring it to 583 collectability. As long as one of the impulsive appraisals proc, you are guaranteed 3 gathers of 470+ with the SM (no matter which one proc'd).



Lastly, as a general tip: it's better to gather as many collectables as you can at a lower tier than it is to sacrifice gather chance for a higher tier.

Just used my rotation and got 530 and 531 on two Chysal Greens.

again, a few instances of it working doesn't mean always.

50% of the time at least.

Works for me.

I guess the only thing left for you to do is try it. I've got 695 perception BTW.

I would say it's closer to 30% for all the times I've tried it. Also, perception for appraisals is capped on chysahl at around 620ish, so as long as you're above the cap it should produce the results you've seen

I would put more faith in something like the following:
impulsive > (single mind if proc/discerning eye if no proc) > utmost caution > methodical > impulsive > (single mind if proc/discerning eye if no proc) > utmost caution > methodical
That would guarantee you get at least one with about 550; each proc of impulsive is another gather attempt. Good for if you're going for counterfoils, and if you don't mind a lower quality to turn in for red scrips instead, then i would use the other rotation i listed earlier.

But to each their own

694 perception, sorry.
