'''Anectdotal account of foraging success rates:'''
 
  
−
People were telling me that they rarely, if ever, have made mutliple-item forages.  Now, I had made quite a few two and three item forages in my lifetime, so I could not quite see why they weren't.  So I did a bit experimenting.  I took only two planets, Endor and Tatooine, just because their vegetation is so radically different.  I plan to repeat this on other planets, when I have the time.
 
  
−
Now, I didn't give the developers enough credit.  I didn't think the foraging would be that much different, just because I couldn't quite believe that the foraging system was that complex.  They said it, themselves, that it was a low priority and so I underestimated them, thinking they hadn't put that much time into it before.
 
  
−
Boy was I wrong!
 
  
−
Endor and Tatooine are radically different, as far as the mutliple-item foraging is concerned.
 
−
 
−
I only did one multiple-item forage on Tatooine (for 3 items), out of 100 logged attempts.
 
−
 
−
On Endor, I did two 3-item forages, and three 2-item forages, out of 100 logged attempts.

They also differ on which item you're more likely to find.

'''Endor''':

::Wild Snaffs

::Ko-Do Fruits

Schule Nefs, Alever Tweth'peks, and Jars of Fungus were pretty common on both.  Etost'ew Zanns and Jars of Grubs, weren't.
 
−
 
−
Now, this is either unique to each planet, or planet type.  For instance, Lok might yield the same as Tatooine, and Yavin IV the same as Endor.
 
−
 
−
There's a good 10% chance of getting items discarded on both planets.
 
−
 
−
You also have a 20% chance of failure on both planets as a Master Ranger (which I think is a bit too much.)
