Is gathering bugged?

[TheVedis]

Could be coincidence everywhere I have read all it says perception does is increase HQ rate, but it could be true, and no one has put it online, might have to try it out.

perception raises how many items drop

so if the rate is 1-3, youll see 3 more liekly the higher your perception is

thats what it does

Perception only affects HQ rates. Quantity is affected by one of your base stats (INT/MND/PIE).

I thought Output affected Quantity and Perception affected chance of HQ?

Perception is the only stat not effected by attributes as far as I know, but output and Gathering do have an attribute that effect them based on your DoL.

STR/INT for Botanist
VIT/MND for Miner
DEX/PIE for Fishing.

Output effects the amounts of attempts you can get based on grade of node as well as the amount you can obtain.
Perception is pretty much HQ rate
Gathering is difficulty of obtaining said item
