Foraging Ranger/druid epic

[Cecily]

There's no such thing as a minimum skill in Everquest. All a higher skill level does in any given skill is raise a percentage of a value or raise a percentage change for an action to occur. EQ is simply an evolution of tabletop games, specifically DnD. You can roll a perfect 20 (5%) and succeed or a 1 (5%) and get a perfect fail. This is most evident in tradeskills where an unskilled crafter can brute force a high level combine or a master can fail a trivial item.
