correct, I'm well aware of how perception works. My frustration stems from Logging at level 50 for flax with perception 313, I notice no increase in the speed at which I gain HQ items from when I was a lower level gathering them. The only difference is the two abilities I can now use that either increase yeild (500gp), which takes a huge amount of time to build back up, or Leaf Turn II (300gp) and so random I hate using it. I thought it was a good idea to level a gathering job first to make it easier to gain HQ items before leveling a DoH, I'm really not seeing this.
