Editing Meticulous Collection

Meticulous collection can occur while doing [[Mining]], [[Forestry]], [[Field Dressing]], and [[Foraging]] (which are all [[Gathering]] skills).

With a non-meticulous collection, you are only able to gather once from the [[Resource Node]] and then the node is consumed. In this case, only [[Producer Experience]] is awarded for the gathering.

With a meticulous collection, the [[Resource Node]] was not consumed on the previous gather, so you are able to gather another time from the node. You can get multiple meticulous collections on a single node, with the number of back-to-back meticulous collections shown on the meticulous counter. Eventually, the node will run out of resources and the node will be consumed (so collection will stop and the node will disappear). With each meticulous collection, you are awarded both [[Adventurer Experience]] and [[Producer Experience]]. These experience awards show up in the loot window when the node is finally consumed (see [[Adventure And Producer Experience|Meticulous XP Awards]] for a description of these awards). Taking these reward items will automatically apply the reward value to both the [[Adventurer Experience]] and [[Producer Experience]] pools.

So, getting meticulous collections will not only increase the amount of resource that the node will yield, but it will also increase the amount of Adventurer and Producer experience points that you receive. 

==Things that Increase the Chance of Meticulous Collection==
* Innate Skills - each gathering skill tree has an innate skill that will increase the chance of meticulous collection for the given type of gathering. The higher you raise these skills, the higher the chance of a meticulous collection when gathering the relevant resource node.
