    Is it working? , if yes, what benefit does is have?
    I just cant see any difference investing more than 1 point to that skill.

    It is probably distance at which you see "dust particles" around harvestable node.

    Well atm i find that skill pretty....... useless.

    Never got any problem seeing Nodes, even without Skill.

    It is pointless in other trees as well, you see nodes from far away...

    I'm not sure but I think this skill has something to do with how close you have to be to start harvesting. I have mostly been mining so that skill leveled up the quickest in mining, I was able to double click the node from a decent distance and have my avatar walk to it and mine it. I noticed I had to be a lot closer to a wolf corpse to initiate skinning, however, as well as chopping wood. Could be a coincidence, haven't done any studying of it, just seemed to notice it one day.

    The tooltips from the previous system (before use based skills came in) seemed to imply that it was the distance at which you could harvest/mine/chop/etc a node. I'm not sure how it works now, but for the most part it seems like a fairly useless skill to get past 10 (pre-req for meticulous gathering). That being said, I have been in a few situations where wolf corpse was unable to be skinned because it was wedged between a rock.
