Not so sure about Sheep Shearing benefits.

Ok, Alpaca Shearing doesn't contribute to the skill, that's correct. But I'm sure I got a Lucky Bonus today and it dropped 3 Alpaca Furs (Rank F Sheep Shearing, and non-upgraded Gathering Knife)

Lucky Bonuses is from Luck. Upgraded Gathering knives can also contribute to additional wool.

You can sheer the sheep 200 times, so normally speaking you would get 200 furs. But that's not counting the Lucky Bonuses or upgraded knife.

Yes I know that, but I'm sure my knife had no upgrades regarding double gather (just a Hilt one for durability)

I don't even understand what you're trying to say anymore. o -o

Are you sure you're not reading it wrong. o -o?

Plain old Gathering Knife with One upgrade (+10 Durability), got a Lucky Bonus, but instead of 2 Alpaca Furs, I got 3.

That reminds me, do you have a title/reforge that affects bonus gathering?

None, only titles that give me a total of 50 Luck (Saved the Goddess + MapleStory)

Ahh. Well just your eyes peeled then o-o

More than likely, you didn't pick one up. Lucky gathers always give +1, not +2.

Maybe, gotta try again tomorrow.

Didn't Luck stat affect Lucky Bonuses?

It doesn't affect how much drops, though, just the rate at which you get lucky bonuses, according to the new information posted on Lucky Bonuses page.

originally posted on the lucky page by yours truely btw ;c still still all strange to me. The website the data is outdateed and comes up as a 404 on geocities.co.jp.

Yes it does, you have a chance to either gather 2 or 20 at once.

This talk page makes me curious. http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/view/Talk:Lucky_Gather#Luck_Stat_Affecting_Number_of_Items.3F_5655

But it was 3 years ago and as Mikaya said it could have simply been him forgetting to pick one up.

I never really gotten 3. Always 1+1 :x Granted, I don't gather as often as others.

I have to gather more potatoes, so will test with those.

This gives me reason to rank carpentry more as well. need the str anyways.

Make sure you don't leave on the ground or overgather. And make sure it isn't the bonus gathering chance from mastery skill, titles, and upgrades.

The only time that happens is when I gather wool or lag.

Sheepsstopmovingplease.

Bonus gathering chance just increases the chance of getting bonuses right? Then it's all good. They're all rank F. I got my first special upgrade today, so you can already expect the level of upgrades I have.

Bonus Gathering Chance is not related to Lucky Bonuses; Lucky Bonuses are signified with a yellow ring effect. Much like how you can get multiple ores with a high ranked Metallurgy.

Update: The only way to get 3+ items at once is an upgraded bonus chance item+lucky bonus, or upgraded bonus chance and mastery. I don't see how you can get 3+ outside of those.
