King's Yield II: Obsolete for low-level nodes?

[Silverbane]

Bountiful Yield II gives +3 yield for the next gathering attempt on low-level nodes, if your stats are good enough. I believe this makes King's Yield II obsolete, unless the extra actions bother you.

4-attempt low-level node:

KYII - 500CP, 12 items
BYII: 400CP, 16 items

5-attempt low-level node:

KYII - 500CP, 15 total items
BYII: 500CP, 20 items

6-attempt low-level node:

KYII - 500CP, 18 items
BYII: 500CP, 21 items
BYII: 600CP, 24 items

And as a bonus, the items-per-CP efficiency of BYII doesn't depend on how many attempts each node gives, so you don't have to waste time or CP waiting for those +1 or +2 attempt procs.

I don't know yet where the breakpoints are for each level (that is, what stats you need to get +3 from BYII on a particular level of node or item.) Anyone?

Short answer, yes.

Long answer: But I'm also really lazy and would rather hit one button once than one button six times.

But low level = what?

Silver ore sure, old world fig seeds ... ?

With 1200 gathering you can get +3 on level 67 and under.

[Nihility]

they do stack, not sure that counts for much in low level. It's good for getting an extra 1 or 2 out of the current legendary nodes at least

Here's my data on Bountiful Yield II. They aren't exact thresholds on when it becomes +3, just some notes at several Gathering ratings. HQ Nomad Meat Pie gives you +7% (Max 57) Gathering, it is quite helpful for reaching these ratings.
