Values by rank

Instinct scales with Crit Chance. Its value at each rank is 333 + 95 × rank:

Rank12345678910

Crit Chance+4.28%+5.23%+6.18%+7.13%+8.08%+9.03%+9.98%+10.93%+11.88%+12.83%

Crit Chance is a percentage stat, so the value is used as written (in basis points, shown here as a percentage), times the skill power.

Crit Chance = value × skill power
skill power = 1 + 1% per point in the other Wildness skills + 2% per rank of each skill that boosts it
