Notes on New Gathering Page

I'm continuing ongoing research and data collection for collection rates of all gathering skills, the extent of Alban Heruin and Rain's effects on rates, and more conclusive proof of the influence (or lack thereof) of Production Mastery on all gathering skills. I'll be chronicling this research and data on my user page, and will add references to this Gathering Page linking back there once I've finished reformatting my User Page with the data listed in an appropriate section. Thank you for your patience. --Armisael 22:47, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Any news on this? Currently the Gathering page states that Production Mastery doesn't effect gathering success rate, while the page for Production Mastery states that it does (and the in-game text explicitly states that it does). So which is it? --Silfea 22:01, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Punch

Both Berry and Arat Berry are gathered using punch and redirect to this page. Can someone add a punch section? - A Random User 18:20, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Fossil Restoration

Yes I know theres a seperate page on it, but should we at least make a link to it on this page?--^♪♫_♪♫ѕταя♪^♫♪_♫^ταιқ♪♫_♪ 14:10, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Mana Elixir

Does feeding a pet sheep with mana elixir really extend its time? --Miyuna 17:02, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Feeding a pet sheep a Mana Elixir doesn't extend the summon time of the pet, it simply keeps it's mana level full for the duration of the elixir. The same principle applies to other pets that you can gather from- the clover pig being an example. -- Jspillers | Talk 18:31, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

My bad, I didn't mean extend its time, I mean keep its mp at max. When I Posted that, it was late at night when I was doing some major editing and redirects. So Mana Elixir works? That's good news! --Miyuna 18:34, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

fossils and dex

Normally, i get around 1 fossil for every ~3 sulfur mining spots i clean out, but when I'm DK with a dex roll(rank f dex skill), i get an average of a bit more than 1 fossil per mining spot. I also have decreased failure rates as a DK. Are you sure that 'all' forms of gathering are unaffected by dex?--Sozen Cratos Focker 19:27, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

When harvesting elementals, does the wand you use for it increase in proficiency/ lose durability?

Gathering elementals takes no durability and gives no prof.

Probably. This page says that Production Mastery doesn't affect rates, the Production Mastery skill itself says "Production and Gathering x%". Can someone please try and find the basis for the claim on this page so we can get to the bottom of this? If no one can find anything it'll be edited to reflect the game.

If the Gathering % applied to anything, it would have to be gathering that isn't already 100%, like mining.

Can anyone confirm?

I'm pretty sure the success rate for shearing paper sheep is not 100%, as it is possible to fail shearing while the sheep is not moving and yet be able to gather 2 pages afterwards in quick succession. Anyone want to do some testing to confirm this? since i'm not sure what the exactly % success is.

I know for a fact that it isn't. Time to go (xml) hunting.

Seconded that it's not 100%. In my experience, it's in the range of 80-90%, though. Good luck with the .xml hunt.
