Anyone see where i'am heading at???
Fixed.

Sensing is a reaction to what you just gathered, not a prediction of what is to come. if you are aiming at the proper depth for a specific item (aka the sweet spot), the odds are the highest possible that what you want is what you get.

Keep in mind, however, that this is not a guarantee to get the item, just a boost in odds; Plus, many rarer materials have a morbidly low drop rate, even at the sweet spot.
