Perception factors into a myriad of diverse skill checks. It is the only component for many searching activities required for travelling and hunting, which can be considered as fundamental as basic requirements like climbing and swimming. Searching skill is also required for some bounties assigned by the Adventurer's Guild for heirlooms. The skill is quite important for foraging herbs. It factors into Ranged Weapons attack strength and the chance to hit an aimed target with a ranged weapon. It improves the quality of skinning. It is necessary for finding traps laid by bandits. Anyone popping boxes or disarming traps will have plenty of use for the skill. It is a major factor in dodging Creature maneuvers. Even illusions of the Sorcerer Guild are much simpler to create with better skill in perception.

Perception also plays a part in searching Magru, Minor glacei, and Major glacei. Kiramon workers and Kiramon defenders are widely believed to have an increased gem drop rate according to Perception, however, this has been stated as false.
