Credos not giving me bonuses?

[Neonity]

Hey so I completed the entirety of the forager credo which says it gives me +10 perception but Im not seeing this bonus anywhere, all i have is the +5 from being in a realm. Is there something I'm not understanding? Because I definitely notice the boost to speed I get when I chase a small animal, just not the perception or exploration

The bonus is added to the base value, so it's not presented as a "bonus" in terms of tooltip/green value. The reason (or at least one of multiple reasons) why this is so is that you would otherwise have a permanent bonus uselessly presented to you.
