What tool/ability gives you "Exquisite (harvesting_skill) Skill"?

[ExtremeFaji]

<p>I saw a level 70+ character who had active icons of every harvesting ability that said "Exquisite Mining Skill: Reduces harvest time by 2.5 seconds". Does that come from the highest end tinker tools or is there another way to get it?</p><p> As a half-elf, I'm assuming that with my 1 second harvesting bonus, I only need to get tools that speed up my harvest time by 1.5 or 2 seconds and I will max out at 2.5.</p><p>Thanks!</p>

<p>The Tinkered tools and Tier 8 redwood harvesting tools that woodworkers make both give 2.5 sec harvesting time. The tinkered version is better since they cover two skills for one item.</p><p>They don't stack either. If you got a tool with 1.5 second reduction, then it overwrites your natural racial ability. You would only harvest items 1.5 seconds faster.</p>

Are there T8 <b>Tinkered</b> harvesting tools? I've only seen the Overclocked versions that require level 65+ in an artisan skill. Are there tools that require level 75+?

The tinkered ones go off tradeskill level so if you're not into crafting you have to stick with the woodworker made.

I just want to mention that i think there  is a hard cap of 2.5 seconds on any harvesting time.
