DoL HQ rate?

For miner, try to raise mind to at least 270. You should see Master of Rock proc more often.

Awesome, thanks for the tip. I assume the same is true for BTN with INT and Master of Timber?


And as for getting 170+ Perception, do people abandon Gathering? Only way I really see to get there is to replace my Velveteen Doublet Vest of Gathering with a Woolen Doublet and Linen Gaiters with Dodoskin Espadrilles +1 along with HQing my Electrum Earring, Raptorskin Survival Belt and Felt Coif of Toiling.

Perception and to a lesser extent Output should be what you gear for. Output caps at around 120ish (I believe it's when you get the max amount of attempts at a node, 8 for miner and botanist). You don't need Gathering at all when you're 50 as you are high enough for items to be in the same spot during the "strike" (2nd) phase of the minigame and you REALLY have to pile on the gathering in order to make the toughest-to-gather items 1-strike successes. You should never fail once you learn where an item is located either way.
