Things I've noticed:

1: When I was in T1 my scavenging maxxed out somewhere between 40-60. Even though I was killing same or higher level mobs, scavenging stayed the same. Once I went into T2 it went up again.

2: I recently switched from cult to scav on my main due to a lack of high level stabilizers. When I was in IC killing mobs about 7 levels lower than me (quests) I could scavenge corpses but got no skillups. (maybe 1-2 after many mobs)

However: Once I moved to T3 and same/higher level mobs the skill began to move steadily upwards. I hit 74 in half an hour before I logged off.

3: Even though I was scavenging higher level mobs I was collecting level 1-15 items for a long time. As my skill rose I began to collect level 50ish items. I finally ended somewhere around level 75 items.

Recap:
· There seems to be a tier limit or NPC level limit to what level you can raise scavengery skill.

· There is a direct correlation betwen your level and NPC level where you can get skill ups when they are within the NPC/Tier's range. This means scavenging equal/higher level mobs will yield skill points anywhere between level 1 and the max NPC/Tier skill allowance.

· Thanks to this system you can take scavenging at any level without worrying about farming low level PQ's for Tier 1 seeds or green items.

· If you start scavenging at level 40, level 40 mobs will yield level 1 components. You don't have to go searching for new mobs because this one yields crappy items. The items this NPC yields will be better as your skill rises.

Halleluja! This is just what I needed. I was lazy with cultivation and didn't begin untill I reached level 18 or so, which has been a real pain all this time. Also I don't have to feel stupid that I have a cultivating Chosen anymore :)
