    Gathering HQ & Extreme Bad Luck Streaks

    I am aware of the nature of RNG, but recently I've been frequently having the following happen:
    1 - With 4 attempts, 93% Gather and 15% HQ, I frequently get 1 HQ item every ~2 nodes (even missing a few gather attempts).
    2 - With 5 Attempts, 100% Gather & 25% HQ or 4 Attempts, 100% Gather & 30% HQ, I frequently get 0 HQ items for 3+ nodes in a row.

    This wouldn't usually bother me, but it happens so frequently that I end up wondering - why did I even spend GP on Leaf Turn/Unearth?

    So here is my idea on how to create a soft limit to how bad your luck can get:
    1 - Whenever your gather attempt is successful, but fail to obtain a HQ item, you add your HQ chance (before bonuses) to a "Luck" counter
    It takes 7 fails to hit 100 Luck at 15% HQ; but it takes 8 at 13% HQ.
    2 - You are elegible for a bonus to your HQ chance once your "Luck" reaches 100, and this bonus is equal to your Luck above 100
    116 Luck = 16% bonus HQ chance.
    3 - Whenever you obtain a HQ item, you subtract your HQ chance (before bonuses) from your "Luck".

    This does not increase the average chance to obtain a HQ item.
    This merely prevents you from straying too far below the average.
