Snake Quest Re-Work

Posted 2021-01-20 15:41:08

It wasnt really luck, i just decided to explore in the swamp a lot and not turn in the quest until the last moment bc i realised the profit i got to it outweighed the cost of missing 1 ro worth of quest

I feel like as the most easy and quite frankly overpowered of the three types of quests u can get this is a fair draw back

I.... I think you're ignoring the fact that I literally said that not everyone has the LUCK of running into the snake or lizard every explore, and that not everyone has the LUCK of getting good carcasses from said snake or lizard.

When you get critter carcasses and herbs for the quest? Yeah, kind of OP and easy SC, but I'm sorry, but if I'm getting a large, rare carcass, it's no where near OP. It's not a fair draw back, because so many people, myself included, are not getting what they need from the snake and lizard. It would be a different thing if the snake gave you what you needed from the quest, but as you've stated yourself, it just gives you something random you need for the quest. Which, can either give you those really good items like bison carcasses, or it will give you whatever cheap herb or amusement item that you already have ten of

Support! I think that, at least for the members who don't have time to explore all day, it's a bit rough getting these sort of quests (especially with the chance to get the repeated quest after using a snake skull... f smh). I have the time to explore for these items, but unless RNGesus is on my side today, I'm not gonna get the item in time for our landlord Mr. Snake Man. Sorry dude, I can't pay your ridiculous x3 Alligator Carcass Rent this month.

And when I fail to get my quest items, my first stop is always the TC-- but if nobody has said item, it's not going to be on there either. Maybe a fail safe of having a minimum of x100 entities in game to be made requestable from the snake would be good? x100 entities over the 853 members online as of right now is still pretty small- but there would be at least a chance of someone selling one on the TC.

I know what you said, and i did not rely on luck, i grinded on explore for the items(no guarana) im talking about, everytime i get a fetch quest asking for something considered to be of high value, ide grind on it and consistently get 4-9 of the rare valued item, yea it kinda sucks when you dont get the item u need in the first 100% but then you could just come back a couple hrs later to try again

But not everyone has the time to grind these items, is what I think Peach is trying to say, Derpy.

Derpy, I've been on grinding for the ~4 months I've been on here and not once have I received a Bison or Caribou carcass, or anything of that size or rarity. That's luck. You don't have any strategy there other than spamming what is essentially a lottery. It's literally RNG.

Also i believe what it asks for is largely based on what biome you are in

Goose im not talking about hunting

I can agree on that- I have luckily not gotten any desert based (what I'd assume) large carcasses, but the point still stands that not everyone has the luck and ability to spam the snake or lizard and get the luck and rng that you get.

Also, they're not talking about hunting either. I have been playing since almost day one of EA, and I have sent out my scouts for rescouting so many times, and in my time, I have only received one carcass from rescouting. With the snake, I have gotten one carcass from it and I click on the snake every time I get it, when I get it.
