It'd be great if when they add a brand new stat that they'd provide a description of what said stat does. I love that no matter what you click on, nothing will tell you what finesse is or what it does.

Came here looking for some idea of what Finesse or Deftness was after making some stuff while experimenting in alchemy. Eventually found what I was looking for, so posting this to help others like me.

Deftness, Finesse, and Perception are new secondary stats for gathering professions. Deftness increases gathering speed, Finesse gives you a % chance to gather additional herbs/ore/leather, and Perception gives a % increase to your chance to find rare herbs/ores/leather.

As somebody who hasn't touched gathering professions at all in Dragonflight and focused solely on crafting, I had no idea but now I do!

Actually they do provide an explanation. Check out your herbalism journal, it list all the attributes and the help with that gathering skill. I have not tried every crafting skill yet, but I assume they are all like that. Consult the respective journals.

Why the heck is this created as bop? So basically if your Alchemist doesn't also have a gathering prof this is completely worthless?

Edit: @Drudan explains that you can trade this using work orders. I haven't tried work orders yet.

This is an excellent example of the problems associated with the new craft order system. By making this and other gathering support items BoP, it is totally useless to an Alchemist who doesn't gather. However, like many Alchemists, I have an alt that gathers my materials for me. Yet I can't give these phials directly to my alt to help with his gathering. I have to pay a 20 gold fee to the craft order system every time I want my alt to have the benefit of this item which I make and he gathers the parts for. I realize that the game needs gold sinks for a healthy economy but most gold sinks provide a benefit. Since everything is completely contained within our own personal efforts, all of the Alchemists and gatherers like me get absolutely nothing for this extra fee other than access to our own efforts. This is a penalty to those of us who play the game based entirely on our own efforts. A simple fix would be to allow transactions to alts without fees. Not only does doing something like this make sense but it would encourage players to delve further into the crafting system.

Does anyone know if this is learned through normal Phial Experimentation, or Advanced Phial Experimentation? This is one of only two DF alchemy recipes I have yet to learn. I have done hundreds of Phial Experimentations (both normal and advanced) and cannot seem to learn this recipe.
