One star miner collectable

[alimdia]

What rotation do you guys use for this, and how much perception do you need for this?

[Aeyis]

The same rotation as for adamantite, except with Sharp Vision II. Requires 700 GP if you dont get a -GP proc.

[Discerning Eye + Impulsive] [Discerning Eye + Impulsive] [Discerning Eye + Meth] [Sharp Vision II]

If any Impulsive procs the +30% buff, you replace the next Discerning Eye with a Single Mind. Make sure to use the Sharp Vision II last, because if you get enough -GP procs you can use a Sharp Vision III instead.
The same applies f you don't have 700 GP and use Sharp Vision I instead.

Note that this rotation requires quite a bit of perception (670-680 perhaps). If your perception is lower you can forego one or more Impulsives in favor of a Meth.

i'm pretty sure i could do this rotation (DE+I, DE+I, DE+M) for legendary nodes with 674 perception before the last patch but now, i seem to be ending with 462 collectability only. am i missing something from the notes?

Did you forget to use food? Stuffed Chysahl gives + 11~ perception (NQ). Not sure if 674 is enough, but 684 is enough for me.

650 gathering
661 perception
653 gp

DE+M, DE+M, DE+M, Sharp Vision I (II if I get a proc)= 2x 470+ aurum regis ore

edit: Aeyis, do you feel you get an extra collect frequently enough that if you didn't have the perception you have now it would be worth overmelding specifically for that?

That depends. If you are using your gathering scrips only for equipment now, then you could just go for the tool in 3 resets and you would have all the extra stats you need.

More stats isnt really needed for red scrips gathering. Altho your rotation still has a good chance to miss a collect, it matters little.
You can definately use my rotation for adamantite/chysahl, and those are the main source of red scrips anyway due to spawning twice (4 if min/bot both) per hour.


So I wouldn't advise overmelding further.

Thanks!

I was with food already @ 674 using landtrap at the moment. Last week it was the same but i was getting exactly 470 rarity using the same rotation. I wonder what changed.

oddly, they stated this in the 3.05 patch notes:

[3.0] The effect of perception on improving collectability for Level 60 items as a miner or botanist has been increased.
* The above adjustments will take place after maintenance performed on Thursday, July 23, 2015.

... perhaps they meant "decreased"?

Seems like it. NINJA PATCH! Dammit SE how much more suffering do you need to impose?
