The effects of Perception is very well documented.

Check out JimmyB's awesome thread here.

PS. It also gives a little extra HP

My bad, Vedder is right ofc. What I meant is that perceptions impact on loot sizes is, at best, limited, and that the skill itself really doesn't do anything for you.

There is no myth only truth

I am pretty certain that Perception = Clues about Loot falls into the can-never-be-proven camp - much like (oh the blasphemy) Lootius.

If you believe in perception gains as meaningful, rather than simple gains in a skill that contributes to professions, you are exercising faith, not logic.

We are all free to exercise either, both, or neither; but understand it for what it is.

I guess this says it all lol

Oh my, I wish I globaled each time I got perc... I would be rich...

Ok, so if you global or get item after perception, this is my idea to make you rich.
You need to chip out your perception skill. Then if you go hunting or mining you will get lots of perception as when your skill is low it grows faster.
Then, when you have so many perc gains, you should global every time With so many globals, HoFs and uber items in loot you can fast get your society yourself to top 10. With all this cash even biggest chip eaters will stay far behind u. And imagine how many ESIs you will loot to chip out perc again! So ofc you can do the whole procedure again and become the richest ppl in EU.

Oh my, why did noone get this idea before me?
Oh I know why, it is BS.

Just remember, do not cash out, you will ruin MA and us all...

Just my 2pecs, enjoy the immortal perc theory...

Yep, that really proves that by getting a Longblade skill-up you can get a global

I have been to far away areas with almost no mobs around and got several Perception skill-ups and even after killing everything in a radius of 400m and carpet bombing,I got no global at all.
Sometimes I even get one if some dung spawns right beside me.
In the beginning, I spent more PEDs trying to find out what gave me that skill up than I actually got loot, now it's just another skill-up.
Other thing though, if I get 3 Anatomy skill-ups in a row, I will get a global within the next 8 mobs

mob will make you rich your shooting
2nd regen from that mob will make you rich

oh rich being anything over 7ped

mining

Shhhhh

these are things i notice regularly after gaining perception. If in a lucky cycle sometimes a global. Usually not.

I say this again, 4-5th time it is. We studied perc a little, when I had a discipline. Killed drones near Jason. And results are:

I had then perc around 4k, 90% of cases when I got perc gain, I looted better loot within 10 mins, 10 PEDS +

My discipline had perc around 300, 95-99% of cases she got perc gain, she didn't loot better loot.


So when you say "it works" or "it doesn't work" tell also your skills in perception. Coz' there is a big difference how often u get perc gains when your skill increases.

Yesterday I was hunting big warriors/troopers and got two strikes of perc gains (3 per strike). First resulted 39 PED armor piece in loot, second strike gave 92 ped global (no items). I might had one perc gain more, but not sure...

HAHAHAHAHA...... i love how a guy gets perception and globals and makes it sound like they HAVE to b connected!!! ROFL!!!! I've globalled many times more on a handgun skill, does that mean handgun is magical?!?!? Some ppl just like to make leaps in faith i guess....

[xInFernaLx]

Ahhh Perception...!


Says it all don't you think?
Perception is a skill.. Makes you get more skilled..? Makes you achieve higher perception and higher professions.. Loot comes from mobs, fruit is found on the ground and minerals might be found when dropping a bomb on the ground?

Ahh, Perception...!
