Tried to search around the forums, but couldn't find an answer to this.

Do you think that your current phlegm levels affect the success rate of planing wood? Besides Hammer & Nail level of course. I tested out with 89 phlegm and 81 Hammer and Nail. When my phlegm was half-filled, I destroyed nearly an entire backpack of planks. When it's mostly filled, success rate is about 2/3. Mere coincidence? I think today was the second time it happened, I was pretty surprised when I started destroying most of my planes until I decided to refill my humours.

I read somewhere that phlegm levels affect the usage of a tinder drill. Maybe it does play a part in other actions as well?

i dont know this for sure, but with low blackbile i cant really use a tinderdrill. always breaks around 10%

If you want to find out if phlegm levels affect planing, you'll need to do more testing that what you've done. Two backpacks worth of planks is hardly anything to draw assumptions/conclusions from.
