    (Miner/Botanist) Collectible Tooltips

    The tooltips for the below Miner and Botanist collectible abilities have very... questionable text as to how they function. I consider it 'fraudulent' text myself; I believe they need reworded to be similar to that of the crafting abilities, because as they are now, the abilities most certainly do NOT give you quality based on a percentage of your Perception (it's significantly less, or else has sharp diminishing returns on higher levels; again, this is not made clear). Like before with my Astrologian tooltip feedback, I have a before-and-after schema in mind.


    Methodical Appraisal (before)
    Appraise a gathering node for collectibles.

    Increases item rarity by Perception x1.
    Increases item wear by 10.
    Uses one gathering attempt.


    Methodical Appraisal (after)
    Appraise a gathering node for collectibles.

    Efficiency: 100%.
    Increases item wear by 10.
    Uses one gathering attempt.



    Instinctual Appraisal (after)
    Appraise a gathering node for collectibles.

    Efficiency: 90-150%.
    Increases item wear by 15.
    Uses one gathering attempt.


    Impulsive Appraisal (after)
    Appraise a gathering node for collectibles.

    Efficiency: 90%.
    Increases item wear by 10.
    Uses one gathering attempt.

    Additional Effect: 30% chance that Discerning Eye activates.


    Why efficiency? Because if I was supposed to gain Perception x1 from Methodical Appraisal, it'd be 400+ every use. It's 100-200 even on low 50's nodes while I'm a 56 Miner/Botanist. I'm not seeing numbers anywhere close to my Perception score, so clearly the three abilities in question don't work as listed. Thus, why I call it 'fraudulent' text. Perception plays a factor, but it sure isn't the listed factors by any stretch of the imagination.

    So yes, I think they're questionable tooltips that need reviewed.
