Enhanced Perception formula for Chance to Find Valuables.

At least the pre-Mastery formula has to be wrong. I currently have a character with level 103 non-mastered EP and the game says 41% bonus to CtFV. If I use the pre-mastery formula on the wiki, the result would be:

400 * (x + 1.5) / (x + 100)

so 400 * (103 + 1.5) / (103 + 100). Which comes out at 205,91.

Exactly 5 times higher than the listed in-game value. Am I missing something here?

I should get to mastering this skill sometimes soon, so will then be able to check if the Mastery formula is correct, but I somehow doubt that there is going to be a 100+% jump in the CtFV to the alleged 180% at level 75 when Mastering the skill.

Finally got around to mastering the skill. Not sure if it's because of PFP or it's always been this way, but this is what it looks like:

One point from Mastery:

 

And at Mastery.

First things first:

The values on the wiki for the Mastery match the in-game values, so the formula is correct.

The values formula for the pre-Mastery bonus is wrong.

However, I was expecting the Mastery would override the pre-Mastery bonus. But both the pre-Mastery and now the Mastery bonus are listed in the skill description and both still keep increasing with further levels. Do they stack together? Did I just jump from 42.4% CtFV to 321.3% just by mastering the skill? 

Or is it just a visual deficiency and only the Mastery bonus counts? Which is still absolutely massive. Definitely wasn't expecting this, seeing the pre-Mastery values.
