Hello everyone, this is going to be a explanation of why i am begging the developers to change the drop rates of fortune carrots by a measly 1%, to go from 1% to 2%
As it stands, the drop rate of Fortune Carrots is suspected to be 1% from all bronze chests in both North and South Horn. With the Achievement "...Riches Abound", 2000 Fortune Carrots are required for a title that i will suspect more people will be botting than actually playing
The issue i have with this title is the lack of respect for my time as a player. To get 2000 fortune carrots at a 1% drop rate will take you 200,000 chests. Using the current fastest possible method of farming mobs in South Horn, it will take you about 1 hour to farm and find 30 chests. This means it will take you 6666 hours to farm 200,000 chests at a rate of 30 chests at a time. Lets assume that you only have 3 hours a day to play this game. It will take you more than 6 YEARS of farming every single DAY before you get all 2000 carrots. Even with 6 hours a day it will take over 3 years; you will not finish this grind before the end of Evercold's entire patch cycle.
If however, the Dev team change the drop rate from 1% to 2% in bronze chests, the time invested will still be substantial, but far more palatable to modern players. that 200k chests comes down to 100k chests. 6666 hours over the span is 5+ years? 3333 hours now. the time spent in occult crescent is essentially halved, and i would cry tears of joy if this happened.
While i struggle with this achievement, i want the development team to really ask themselves and each other "would i grind out this content for 2000 carrots" if the answer is a majority of "no": WHY ARE YOU MAKING THE PLAYERS DO THIS THEN? "Do the Devs really even play this game anymore?" goes through my mind more and more as i grind this miserable grind.
