Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Perception needed to spot everything

What is the absolute minimum perception that one would need to be able to spot EVERYTHING (traps, secrets etc etc etc)

Not completely sure, but 12 seems to be the cutoff-point for all other stuff (wearing armor, spells without penalty). I know you need 11 perception for some of the Hunter's Edge stuff.

12 sounds good.

I've done a few playthroughs with 12 Perception as that seems to be the sweet spot and it's easy to do.

12 is a safe bet

From the patch notes:

12 is a good bet.

Or I guess 10, with Lightstepper.

Considering lvl 20 gear usually go up to needing 15 in either STR, INT or DEX I would go for 15 perception as well.

aright thanks all

I had Jahan's perception up to 29 with gear boosts, seemed to work fine late-game.
