Bug Mystic's Foraging

[STDs4YouAnd4Me]

As a Farmer, I had a success rate of roughly 75% while foraging. As a Mystic, I have over 30 attempts and have been successful twice.

I think that is just your luck. Pretty sure it is the same skill between all 3 classes.

If the wiki is correct, as a Ranger I have a "fairly good" chance, and as a Mystic, you have a 1% chance.
There must be different versions of forage.

As far as utility goes it is most useful for food, which means that even though it fits into the playstyle of a nature Mystic, it will not grant items as often since Mystics don't rely on food to heal. Forage is still useful to get vines and ice, keep trying! Or talk to an alchemist.

Yeah, no. If you're interested in the exact numbers I ran yesterday it was 6 successful attempts out of 73. That puts me at an 8% success rate. I was either running VERY good as a farmer, or I'm running VERY bad as a Mystic. I think 73 is a reasonable sample size to complain that something is wrong. I went on a streak of 18 "you found nothing while foraging" in a row.

As a ranger my longest streak is 15 or 16.

God, I have to be so careful what I put in the wiki...

The skills are the same for all 3 classes - farmer, ranger and mystic - except for the cooldowns and mana costs. But the rates are the same (as far as I'm aware). The 'chance' value is actually 0.01, but that makes no sense to me because I was getting higher than 10% finds, so I've changed it to 'fairly good chance' in a couple of spots (based on my experience, below). I'll now change it in all 3 to 'a chance', which is probably what it was before I started messing with it, lol.

My experience: As a Ranger+Farmer I'm getting 50% success (have counted to check this, not just guessing). I'm getting the Ranger cooldown (30 sec) and mana use (nil), not the Farmer cooldown (2 mins) and mana use (50).

Have you checked this across several biomes? Trying in the same biomes as before?

I've only tested it in winter and river biomes (as I did 2 months ago as a Farmer). I just logged in and went on a 0-12 streak until finally getting a fish on the 13th try.

Well, there's something wrong in the numbers I'm sure. Going to take a pass and see.
