Proficiencies effect.

[DemonEyes]

Hi all,

Could I get some clarification on the proficiency effect on what is discovered.

ok.. mines and mountains effects the purity of discovered minerals and rocks..

what are the limits..

If i have 50 M&M can I find 5% max purity? or 50 element level?

I have tried to work it out, but it is limited by the purity nodes anyway.. and at 70 M&M I cannot find anything above 4%

When i found 4% lime spot i had to rise my alt M&M to 23 to not cap it.

A fresh alt with no points in any proficiencies seems to harvest a 40-41 value granite as 32.6 or so. Haven't found at what value the cap stops altogether sadly. 70ish might allow you to get up to 50 value minerals.

Proficiencies cap the element not the purity percentage, its a soft cap, and as with most things in Salem you get diminishing returns as your proficiency get higher.

M&M should not effect what you can find when foraging!
it effects how wide a cave in a mine can be, or how far your can dig from a support before a cavein will happen.

the cap from foraging should be calculated from hunting&gathering.

The devs disagree.

As do I. M&M definitely matters when foraging for stones.

does the m&m affect the purity of my mine?

[Kandarim]

i've found some influences as to the mines a woo-woo wand can discover with high M&M, but never after the mine was built. I'd say it only influences mine scouting, and I haven't noticed any real effects on dowsing rods. All last world, as are all of my comments
