I am wondering if it is worth getting the master ranger if the increase is only +10. What does that +10 equate to in a percentage? Say i harvested 10 units at bio sci 4, how many would i harvest at master ranger?

10 units.


There isn't a huge difference in harvesting between 4 and Master. It makes a few units difference with larger critters - better to use veghash tho imo.

No I meant you would still only harvest 10 units.


Say you killed a rancor and got 230 units at bio 4 - at master you'd probably get 233 units. Its not a huge difference in the grand scheme of things.

You bump when it has dropped to the 2nd page, not when it's 5-10 threads down.


I don't know the exact answer but you can get it yourself. Hunt a couple dozen of the same creatures and note down what you harvest. Get Master Ranger, hunt the same creatures in the SAME area and note down what you harvest then. Calculate the average of both and then decide if you keep or drop Master Ranger. At the very least you'll have a badge to add to your list.


I can tell you upfront that the difference is very small on a single kill basis.


Master Ranger has a 30% harvest increase over Master Scout, if the calculations are linear you have a 24% increase over Master Scout at Tracking IV. 100 units would become a 105 units then. But there are certain pointers that suggest the calculation isn't (entirely) linear so the actual in-game difference can be greater or smaller.

Skill poit investment vs. harvesting increase = poop... Don't Master unless you want to have the title.

I have noticed that the difference between the amount of units you can havest from a fat animal and a medium animal also increases, don't know about skinny hardley ever find them, from master scout to master ranger. As a scout I would average about a 5-10 unit difference between the fat and the medium. As a ranger I notice a 15-20 unit difference between the fat and the medium.Thedifferenceis not that big but every unit helps.

You'd notice maybe a 5% increase. Probably not worth the skill points.

I would like to point out that harvesting in a group or alone changes those % yet again!! I have yet to figure out how it works but I know I get 100 units solo bit in a group of 2 it goes down 50%.

the group harvest rate is set at 60%, no matter how many folks are in your group (2 to 20)... so as a group of two, you actually harvest more than one person (120% of what you would collect on your own)...
