44,550 scrips?

[KorraBelle]

Oh my GOD no. Take #2, switch it with Brute Leech, you'll thank me for it. Yes you're spending scrips on bait but 95% of your catches become the 2 perch types, illuminati for scrips and hinterlands for desynth. The bait cost pays for itself in 1-2 catches per trip and it's a ton faster. Night and day difference.

I'm aware of the difference but, while I was still gear with red scrip gear, I saved my leeches for Tiny Axolotl. I'll probably switch to leeches now that books are all I have left.

That works if your methodical does 113 alone. That will sum up to 451. Getting always three is quite much better than having 49% chance for just 2, and only 9% chance to 4. Which is what the impulsive rotation gives.

I seem to recall hq crafted gear gave 112 or 113, not sure which. Anyway, don't forget food items to increase your perception and it doesn't even need to be the top most ones. If I took hq stuffed artechoke in the crafted hq gear it was enough to raise my perc to the cap (the effect of methodical is capped to 115) and they are about level, what, 35 or so recipe. Not exactly hard to make and most ingredients can be bought from vendors. Now I have added the blue hat for bot my miner and botanist and that's enough to reach the cap without food item.

In raw HQ 150 (140 belt and offhand) I'm at 571 perception unbuffed and exactly 113 base MA.

Double luckily 113 is also JUST right to get a solid rotation against chysahl/adamantite.

Does the preception needed scale with item level? Or am I at 113 for everything including folklore node reds and stuff?

One of the first things i did was folklore. Its nice to help out my fc when youre the only gatherer with the stuff unlocked. still need fisher though.

[TahoeMax]

I got 2 botanist and 3 miner folklore books as soon as I could. Those were good enough to gather and craft any 2-star materials. Saving ~50-75k per HQ gathered mat is huge when you're using 10-20 per crafting session
