    Mining rotation-collectibles?

    Hey, so it's been a long dang while since I even touched mining, was just curious what the best rotation is on normal nodes for getting 450+ collectibility on the SB mining? Just trying to level up some while getting red scrips at the same time, in full ironworks gear unmelded with 650 GP

    Thank you!

    Same as it was for HW collectibles. Use Discerning Eye then Impulsive Appraisal. If it procs, then replace Discerning Eye with Single Mind and do another Impulsive Appraisal. Again, if it procs, use Single Mind, otherwise use Discerning Eye, either followed by Methodical Appraisal. That should get you over 480 (over 530 with some RNG) and depending on your circumstances, plenty of hand ins.

    Thank you kindly sir. How many collectibles should that get you from a node on average?

    Will get you 3 guaranteed on hidden nodes. Under the right circumstances it can get you as high as 7 collectibles per hidden node. (3 guaranteed + 2 extra of Impulsive Appraisal Procs + 2 extra gathering attempt bonus if you meet certain conditions).

    Play it smart, and you may walk away with only two. Or you may walk away with 6 or 7. Depends on your level and skills, and luck too of course, but those are the results I get with full i190/i195 melded Ironworks gear.

    Swing, appraisal, appraisal, appraisal, collect x2. Can increase that by one only after getting the level 65 trait, and then only on level 60 (and lower) unspoiled nodes. That's the simplified explanation, anyway.

    Yeah, you're right. I kept getting 3 last night but wasn't really paying attention, was undoubtedly getting procs and not thinking about it.

    i prefer to use more a stable rotation with a 100% Single Mind in my rotation.

    i use Discerning Eye -> Methodical Appraisal -> Discerning Eye -> Methodical Appraisal -> Single Mind -> Methodical Appraisal its 459 collective when you have the min. stats and when you have 50 GP left you can get 5% chance up, it guaranty you to have 3-5 items compare with your is 2-6 items if no miss for sure.

    regards hobbit

    This is my rotation as well. I also only collect on +1 nodes for 3 collects. The rest during cordial cd I just do regular mats collection.

    I tell myself this every single time, "Play it safe. You don't want to walk away from a +1/+2 node with only 2-3 collectibles do you? You're guaranteed 4-5 here. You remember last time?? Don't do it... Don't you effin do it!"
