Rank 3 ore from nodes, yes or no?

Anyone with enough knowledge of this intricate system to explain me ?
As per the tooltip in my profession window, I have more mining skill at serevite than required to get highest quality.
Yet I mostly mine rank 2. rank 3 happens very rarely, but it happens so rank 2 is not the max quality you can get outdoors.
For crafting professions, when I beat the difficulty skill, I do get the highest quality (rank 5 or 3 for consumables) so there’s something weird here.

Any explanation other than “Blizzard’s tooltip is misleading” ?

I’m going to go with “The Gathering and crafting systems are overly convoluted”.

For gathering, there’s also Perception to consider, that allows you to get rare reagents (Like Khaz’Gorite), maybe that has a role in gathering 3-star ore as “Side-gather”, as well.

Frankly, Blizz over-complicated crafting and gathering to such an extent that tooltips can’t contain all the factors involved.

I get 3-star gathers fairly often now, not sure how often exactly, but it’s more than “Very rarely”, how did you spend your mining knowledge points?

I gain a chunk of r3 mats too, nowhere close to the r2 level though. I’m mainly talented into the elemental thing 50/50 and perhaps mining/surveying. Can’t 100% remember, but I get a bucket load of rousing! Waiting on that diamond :rofl::pinched_fingers:
