Probability: 1%

Yea.. I was gathering/mining materials to make a short bow.
After getting like 20 "No item found" messages from gathering, I finally get 4 wood pieces. I spent a good amount of money retrieving these items.
I go to the stand, I see 1%. Someone explain.

Edit:Woops. Replace the asterisks with a 3 letter acronym.
Update:Oh, so you can rebuy the skills to level them up....
The percent is now 35, after like level 4. RIP OFF!

Wait, so you can actually buy multiple skills to make them more effective? o.o

Yeah you have to buy the next level crafting skills to make better items at a higher percentage rate.

o.o really? Just after learning I bought about 15 garden shovels. Out of 10 I only had 2 "no item found" messages. Perhaps it was just bad luck?

I literally got at least 5 in a row at once.
