Another question for those in the know. Maybe this is better for another forum.

My rotation is pretty basic. I use (Discerning Eye then Methodical Appraisal) x3 for red script items. That's usually enough to get 470 for two gather attempts. Sometimes I get less then 470. Anyone know why? I assumed it was just me messing up my rotation (forgetting to use DE or using MA one too many times).

Can the "one gathering attempt" fail from MA? I have about 90% for normal gathering attempts.
