Bloated Bolete Problem

[korvisus]

question... i have 20 exploration and 10 perception... and cant find a bloated bolete for the life of me. i have traveled miles and miles, over like, 6 hours in game... and not been able to find a single one. anybody know why this could be?

also, for some reason, my account has dissapeared. this is a new one, but my original account has gone missing. tried resetting the password with my email address... i even found the original confirmation in my email... but it says there is no account with that email... but im logged in and playing atm.

They're very rare.

[korvisus]

they always are, regardless of your per*exp?

[cobaltjones]

Your per*exp doesn't determine whether or not something spawns, it simply determines whether or not you're able to see the item.

If a Bolete only spawns once every 50000 tiles of grassland (this is an estimate because honestly I'm not really sure how foragable probability works), even if you had 6k per*exp you still wouldn't see them very often.

ah man, that sucks. they seem like a pretty good curiosity. thank you very much

RoB wiki states Per*Expl needed is 110 minimum but the higher the easier you'll find some.

And to rise your hope: i got 5 with around 2k yesterday on 8x8 grids in about half an hour- when you'll find one go search further on in your area...
