Quality of resources

[Raldon]

I'm mining bone at 59+. My advanced wood hatchet(23) axe 4 gets about 47 bone splinter. But my Heavy Rawbone Hand axe(61) axe 3 gets 60 bone splinters. Now I know axe 3 maxes out at resource 60. But why am I only getting 47 bone splinters with an axe 4 which should max out at resource 80?

Because it's only level 23.

Doesn't make sense, I get Wood(80) with the Advanced Wood Hatchet(23) axe 4. But Only wood (60) with the Rawbone. Why would it give me 80 wood but only 47 bone splinters?

It depends on high the mature quality is, since you cant see over your level it may be only 1 level over what you see and the other could be much higher. There is a formula on how to figure out the level but i don't remember what it is. Maybe someone else could tell you.

This guide explains it all. Boils down to you add the quality of all of the items involved in harvesting a resource. So in this case lets assume the bone splinter is q71. We get 23 + 71 = 94 / 2 = 47. For the other axe, 61 + 71 = 132 / 2 = 66, but capped at 60.

Under that assumption, Level 23 axe + 80 wood would yield 51 wood. Yet I'm getting 80 from the tree.

Your getting 80 because the wood mature quality is higher then 80 but you can only get max 80.

I'm not making any assumptions, read the guide if you can't understand what my short explanation is saying. I was using a simple example for you.

I'm talking about the math assumptions in the article. As I stated using the formula the yield should be 51 from a tree but I'm getting 80.

What he is saying is the level of the tree you are getting 80 wood from is a much higher quality. For instance, the quality of the tree is 140 (example) + the 23 from you axe gives 163/2, would be 81 but capped at 80 with what you are using to gather...

I think I understand. Do we know what the highest quality is?

I think it was 80, and the last patch upped it to 100, but not really sure about that. Although that just might be the maximum you can harvest, not the highest quality you can find.

max is 100 but you need iron tools for that level

[giulius_storm]

can you harvest 100q wood with a quality bouldercut battleaxe?

[Bpisaac88]

My Tool pod 52q, long saw 63q can harvest 100q mats. its also gathers about 110wood per normal tree instead of 75ish the normal large saws gather.

It also harvests higher number, Axe will hit a tree to test quality, get 70q, jump in saw and get 86q

[giulius_storm]

what axe do you have?
