Item efficiency changes on each request for information on it when beyond 95%(?)

[Event "Janе" Horizon]

Once you reach 95% efficiency (or thereabouts) - enquiringly on the item gives a range of resules.
e.g. I get the following effectiveness rating when I click request information on a Steel Pick (inventory or on market):95
100
99
98
96
97
98
99
100
98
96
96
99


At the same time the range varies from (90%-100%) where the effectiveness is 95% to (100% - 100%) when the value is 100%

Yes i have the same happening to me. Earlier when i posted in Quarantine Ore Pricing thread i had effectiveness of 100%(100%-100%),
on my latest check via right clicking the item it now shows ~97%(95%-100%)
Cheers

Jane, are the numbers you listed above (95, 100, 99, 98, ...) from a continuous right-clicking on a Steel Pick or are they from different times and days? If certain skills have changed between checks (especially Strength) your effectiveness will of course be affected. If you insert or create SNIs for skills that affect the given item the change will be even bigger.

I haven't played with any of the skills that affect the steel tools so as far as I know my EL is always "95% (90% - 100%)" on both. Repeatedly right-clicking both items in my inventory doesn't change the numbers at all.

@Brickwit: the effectiveness information changes every time I click of the Information button (market) or when I right click the same type of item in my inventory.
Since the % changes each click - it is hard to be 100% sure that the threshold is 95% ... that is the lowest I've seen so far.
I see the same effect on Picks and HK's
I do not see the same effect on items where my effectiveness is low.
