A sweetspot is the perfect spot for a specific item. Mean: At this point, you've the highest chance to obtain the certain item.
But it has to be said: Just because you choose the sweetspot, dosn't mean that you now only get this certain item.
It is still possible to go 0/8 trys on an wanted item. This is for botany, mining and fishing schools. |

Made up lingo for gathers to justify the randomness of loot rewards while gathering. People will swear up and down that X notch will almost every time get you the items you want, which is complete crap.  BUT! While gathering, you'll receive messages like, " ITEM X is right were you are at!" or "ITEM X is right below you" etc. (not the exact words but close enough). These messages hint to you of a area/notch where you will "most likely" obtain the item again. Of course there are abilities to help improve your odds, but for the most part that is what sweetspot means. |

If you read this post (http://www.disciplesoftheland.com/forum.aspx?g=posts&t=273) you will see a guide to exploiting sweet spots. The "remainder" gauge will tell you if its a common item or a rare one, I guarantee that if you go to only Oak trees, set the notch to -1, and heed the gauge you will end up with a massive pile of oak logs at the end of the day. |
