What's the formula for these?

I had 8x Clay = 3%
1x Lime = 3%
1x Granite = 3% (All Merc)

Total Garden Pot = 1%

What gives?

Look at the elemental values instead of the % to see how it combines. Just because they have merc as the highest element doesn't mean they line up with what's the lowest element, secondary element, etc... But if they all have 40 merc or whatever then the result should also have 40 merc, it's just the other elements that are throwing off the multiplier.

When it gets higher like 8-10% this is less of an issue because for one of the elements to be that high the other elements, out of necessity, are forced rather low, so they have to be pretty whacky to mismatch much as long as the main element matches.

But yeah don't waste time on 3% ingredients, if you're on a budget just trade for some 6-7% ingredients or just buy 6-8% unburnt pots. At the very least, spend some time finding a decent merc water source or bumming one off someone else... Finding 5%+ isn't too hard.

Alrighty alright alright, good shout there. I didn't figure on the other purities messing around with the final result just whatever the most would be....

grr, back to the drawing board

Yeah water is the easiest. I just circled down a big lake and it had all elements over 6%.

Oki doki, last quick fire question, what's the prof I need to raise to increase the purity finds in forageables?

mebbe it depends on what you want to find?
mines and minerals for rocks?
hunting and gathering for killed beasts and found plants?

or am i way off?

You're correct, see here.

AAAAAAhhhhhh....this makes way more sense now. I was wondering why my lil altie wasnt finding anything of use! Does anyone know what a good level to have M&M at for foraging minerals...as in is there a cut off point?

I found 9% lime with 50 M&M IIRC. Sorry I can't give you a more concrete answer.

No that's a fine answer, I have something to aim for now. Cheers
