Confused About Collectables

[Temjiu]

Does anyone know how the rarity gains works, it says it's based on perception but after gaining some stats with lvl 55 gear it didn't get any better and stuck to 110.

I believe that's what Roth was referring to in his comment above (in response to my question about the same). It's about Efficiency. in his example, even though you may have a control level of 300, on a touch synthesis (crafting skill), you won't get an increase of 300 in quality every time. it will be a number based on your control + the difficulty of the item + <I'm sure there's other numbers in here as well> = the actual increase of the quality of the item. on items with lower levlel then you, the number will be higher then your control...in at level items and higher, it will be lower.

with collectibles, Roth is theorizing that the actual increase in rarity is a similar equation based on perception. And given that, I'm inclined to agree with him, it seems to fit, and it correlates with all the collectibles I've tried so far.

So Moral of this story...increasing your Perception will increase rarity per use, but it's not a 1/1 ratio as the tooltip would lead you to believe.

Trying abalathian rock salt and getting about 264 collectability. I need more perception to increase this so I can get scripts?

Most likely. That, or you need to adjust your rotation.
