That looks really useful but I'm past G1, so I'd have to hunt down people doing the quest and convince them to let me farm wood.

Some mobs drop 10 dura gathering axes. And you can get a +10 dura upgrade. My axe is now 20 dura and has increased speed and a 20% chance of gathering extra wood. I never upgraded gathering tools before either, until I watched someone with a double-wool gathering knife shear sheep. Then I was sold. XD

I feel as if "ideal settings" like Wednesday and Storm is what the game refers to as "normal success rate", while normal days you're down at something like 40% instead of the 60%-ish you're supposed to have.
Simon in KR is promised 100%, but he can fail too, even with holy water.

There's no question that mabi is a little fishy in the RNG department. My 3/40 streak in Dorren's is testament to that.
As for upgraded axes, I've decided against it. I've been chopping wood like crazy to rank alchemy mastery and given that a blessed axe is only ~50 wood per 6 dura I'd rather not pay the vastly increased repair cost. The advantage isn't nearly as much as that of upgraded gathering knives...of which I have several kinds.

Assuming the success rate really is 50%, the speed upgrades will result in more wood/time spent, but also more durability/wood gained.
Non-upgrade (100% repair)
5 seconds (0.600 dur/minute) - (60% repair cost/minute)
10 sec/wood (6 wood/minute)
Double cut (645% repair)
4.25 seconds (0.7059 dur/minute) - (455% repair cost/minute)
7.09 sec/wood (8.47 wood/minute) - (141.2% wood gain speed)
Speed cut (1,220% repair)
3.25 seconds (0.9231 dur/minute) - (1,126% repair cost/minute)
6.50 sec/wood (9.23 wood/minute) - (153.8% wood gain speed)
Wee maths!
... borked servers leave me bored. D:

The maths is definitely wrong :D, the increase from 6 wood/min to 9 wood/min isn't 150%, 50% more like

I think I'm going to stick with a pet full of disposable axes. The things are not even worth using HW on.

It's okay in Erinn trees magically grow back overnight.
Unless you use that mod that makes it look like a chopped down rainforest.

I toss all my gathering axes... Not worth the effort to upgrade.
