    Dredge and Prune

    Maybe I just don't get it, but the tooltips on Dredge/Prune and Unearth/Leaf Turn are identical, are they not? Same cost, same effect, kept apart by some 40 levels.

    What's the point here? What am I missing?

    I can -almost- understand Dredge II and Prune II, since they give a different bonus to the II's of the originals, but ... what is up with these two abilities?

    Unearth and Leaf Turn effect lasts the whole node, where Prune/Dredge lasts only the next hit.


    Leaf turn: Increases the chances of obtaining HQ items while gathering by 10%.

    Prune and Prune II: Increases the chance of obtaining an HQ item on your next gathering attempt by 10/20%.

    Okay, so that means Prune is not just equal to Leaf Turn, but is -worse-?

    Prune doesn't have to be equal to Leaf Turn because it stacks with Leaf Turn. You can get up to +50% HQ rate for one turn using Leaf Turn II + Prune II, or +40% using Prune for several turns. It's useful for trying to get as many HQs out of legendary nodes as you can, since NQs are mostly worthless.
