Also, remember. If you are at the MAGICAL BUSH cutting herb overnight, then I come along and cut herb and use a tool aid and get my 27 herbs, then you are still cutting. If you are at a bush, and I come along and get my herb using a tool aid, the bush temporarily blinks out and about a minute later it comes back. BUT you are now just standing there as your production has been interuppted.

These rules apply to mining and collecting energy too.

The Magical Bush, Ore Mine, and Energy rock are permanent and never disappear.

The Bush, Ore Vein, and Energy stone are temporary. So if you use a tool on them with tool aid or spending a few days trying to get your production items, then it will disappear and again, soon reappear.

So Like SmokeyDawn said, if you gotta get stuff, use the permanent sources to get your items.

When I get time, I will run a test AGAIN and get the timing for cutting herb. Then post the stats here. Then get say skill level 1 on Herb production and again, same time limit and see how much herb I get then, then repeat for skill level 2 and 3. They should also be the same for rocks and energy now.

But in the final analysis, buy your tool and use a tool aid. Believe me, once you get up there, you will not be spending all night trying to get a few herb whereas you can sell your drops and make a lot more money.

Well hope this explains it, and thanks to Ms Smokey for the help. Did not realize answer was that long, lol.
