Example: a result of 28 means the PCs spend 4 hours searching/hunting/prospecting, etc, and they come up with an item that is Difficult to find.
On the other hand, your PCs may be on the hunt for a plant or animal that has a known scarcity rating in the local area, and you need to know how long it takes to find it.
