Who cares what rank of Scavenging you are?

[Ucross]

If I'm level 1 scavenging, I can scavenge a lvl 40 corpse and get good items.
If I'm level 200 scavening, I can scavenge a lvl 40 corpse and get good items.

If I'm level 1 scavenging, I can scavenge a lvl 1 corpse and get crap items.
If I'm level 200 scavening, I can scavenge a lvl 1 corpse and get crap items.

So my question is, "Why is there even a skill level related to it and why do people care about raising it?"

The item you get when scavenging is equal to your current scavenging level but not higher then the level of the mob you are scavenging.
You can not get a level 200 apothecary item from a level 1 mob and you can not get a level 200 apothecary item from a level 40 mob with 1 in scavenge.
If it's as you say it is then it is only for you that happens...

Makes no sense because then there would be no items above level 40

But oh my god how stupid are you? Do I have to explain everything?

Level 1-10 mobs = 1-50 scavenging loot
Level 11-20 mobs = 51-100 scavenging loot
Level 21-30 mobs = 101-150 scavenging loot
Level 31-40 mobs = 151-200 scavenging loot

Try to use logic when thinking, I know it's hard, but at least try.

Aye, to much reading where people ask stuff that appears obvious to me and I just go *facepalm*

Like this was in the 1.01 changelog... I suggest people read it if they want to play a game that changes all of the time.

i know how that feels, how hard is it to read a bit of the patch notes.

Thanks for the explanation. Many thanks as well for the laugh.

I received a L160 mutant tick from a deer near the T1 empire warcamp at scavenging 24 - not sure how that figures into the calcs.

Probably a bug. Deers shouldn't even be scavengeable. Report it :)

I'm staying away from deers from now on.

Its a bug. The boar's there give them too. You won't find similar results nearly anywhere else in the game.

Edit: Also thats butchering, not scavenging. But I remember butchering those deers/boards and getting those lvl 160 ticks.

[Reya]

... a L160 mutant tick ...

Its a bug.

Yes, yes it is.

(sorry, couldn't resist.)
