Gathering and probability....

[Nukocafe]

I've basically found that in Eorzea for gathering the percentage is more like:

80% = 40%
85% = 50%
90% = 60%
95% = 70%
99% = 80%

Crafting's the same way. Can't tell you how many times I've failed actions (only a 10% chance of failure with steady hand up) many times in a row, effectively botching a good synth.

I also love getting 90-99% quality on an item only to have it NOT HQ, which has happened much more often than getting 10% quality and HQing in spite of the odds.

The Random Number Generator doesn't play fair.
