Glimmers during autumn?

Postby VDZ » Tue Mar 31, 2020 8:41 pm

Does Glimmermoss spawn less frequently during autumn? I have a good foraging spot for glimmers, and I generally get at least 1 glimmer per two foraging trips (often more), but in at least my last four trips (probably more but at least 4 I'm sure of) I haven't found a single one anymore. I do think I still encountered some in the first day(s?) of autumn, though. The area is completely locked down to outsiders and I have everyone with access to the area kinned, so I know it's not a case of people foraging the area before I do (they were all offline before and during the foraging trips). Did they stop spawning/reduce in number?

Please help, I have only 2 glimmers left and I'm starting to feel frail without my 24/7 1300 LP/hour curios.

My village was religiously foraging glimmers in a spot we used to see them all the time and didn't see any for days at a time before summer ended. It's just the global pool drying up as more people capable of seeing them forage caves.

I don't think that's it. Up until recently I was able to farm plenty of Glimmermoss. It wasn't a gradual decline, it was more like they became rare all of a sudden. I spoke with the other people who had access to the clearing and they're experiencing the same.

I experienced that too, but it stopped 2-3 days before fall. It wasn't started by fall.

Was keenly aware of this because of a forager credo lol.

I haven't played much around the seasons yet, but pretty sure that 'herbs' and animals have a bit of a random offset from the exact start and end of a season. Beyond that, no idea what effect seasons have on rarity, nodes, etc. if there is one. I don't recall jorb mentioning it in a post, but it could be something he intentionally kept hidden, too.

I feel like it is too variable.
Sometimes I find 5 glimmers, sometimes multiple foraging rounds and 0!

I had to pick glimmermoss for a credo. Spent like a week (should've abandoned but sunk-cost-fallacy) before finally finding not one but TWO right next to each other (granted I did buff the characters per*exp but just a bit and it should've been quite sufficient even before (assuming wiki has correct value.)

That fits with my understanding of how the global pool works. It seems to restock in bursts, meaning for the short while after finding your first pool curiosity you're more likely to find more because the pool still has charges.

This has to have some truth to it since with pearls I feel like I either get 0 or I get a lot of them at once. Last boiling session I got like 10 in a row from 800ish mussels, and sometimes just 0 pearls from 1000.

I found a Glimmermoss today, so it looks like they're still spawning after all.
