Turkey Nests rarer items ?

[Harb]

The only complaint from my view is the harrow and its exceedingly low spawn rate. The nests themselves aren't really a rapid fire process, and with such a low rate and the RNG itself, harrows are too uncommon. When a player vests the time and effort to do a couple hundred maps, without a harrow, the rate was simply too low. As it was RNG based, other players received them with 25 or fewer maps. So due to the process, some "won" with little effort, others "lost" despite great effort. If you're like me and in the "loser" category, it makes an otherwise interesting event become one of frustration. IMO this makes for a poor "memory," though every other aspect of it was well done. Hopefully harrows will be brought back in a future event as this one ends appropriately in Nov.

Harb, I know it's not the best solution but because of the wonky RNG you can sometimes count on other players not knowing that a rare item is as rare as it is. I bought a harrow in Luna for 4m which I consider to be an excellent price, especially if we never see them again. So you can find deals on the nicer stuff if you check vendors pretty regularly after an event starts and just keep an eye out.

Hi Sarsmi, thanks, but I have been checking to no avail I think the word got out on Chessie early, I haven't even seen one for the insane Luna prices as of yet! I'm continuing to work it through to today as this is the final day, and with a few more maps will break the 200 threshold. I have gone through rotating feelings of anger and frustration, currently the latter, so I can still smile about the whole thing - at least as of now!

Yeah, around map #215, finally got a harrow. I don't know if it had anything to do with anything, but it came from a third consecutive map at the same location, in the hidden valley west of the Trinsic gate.

Got two Harrow's today back to back in two separate locations. One of the nests had a nest and a harrow in it. Only did 10 maps today.

Surely that happened, a five item bag and two back to back harrows. Thanks for the input. We need Maplestone to figure the odds of that. My final count was around 215 maps (239 feathers), 1 harrow, 8 plucked birds. 8 nests. 11 stuffings, and 82 cornucpias. It was a good event, a great one were it not for difficulty on the harrow. Hopefully dev derives three lessons learned; 1) fix the RNG, 2) until the RNG is fixed avoid 1% spawn rates, 3) reward effort opposed to mere chance akin to Halloween!

Thanks to dev though, it was entertaining.
