Out of Niter and decide to go do some boat mining to restock.
- Suit up the miner in his luck suit (1539 with statue).
- Grab a couple 200 use sturdies and recall to my boat parked off the coast some promising mountains.
- First swing get my GGS for the day 95.3.... Sweet
- Hit the Rocks, Hit the Rocks - another skill gain 95.4
- Hit the Rocks, Hit the Rocks - another skill gain 95.5
- Hit the Rocks, Hit the Rocks - another skill gain 95.6 - still no niter deposit
- Hit the Rocks, Hit the Rocks - still no niter
Hit the Rocks, Hit the Rocks - strike a huge niter deposit - receive 27 salt peter for my efforts
- Hit the Rocks, Hit the Rocks - another skill gain 95.7 - coming along nicely
- Hit the Rocks, Hit the Rocks - break my last sturdy that is with me
So, I didn't look at the clock but I mined long enough to get 0.4 skill points past my GGS and use up 400 hits from the sturdies. All this to receive 27 salt peter?
Before the publish this same effort would have yielded about 500 or so Saltpeter from numerous niter drops. After the publish, with a supposed double chance to discover niter I get 27. Even if it was a bad time for the RNG, this number of 27 is so low compared to usual it makes me wonder if something didn't get messed up.
Anyone else seeing a lower drop rate in Niter while boat mining?
