Finding them is, again, strange, weird, and personal. Not all hearthlings are alike, and a more advanced character is not guaranteed to help you, though the forageables should still have about the same minimum requirements as always. Not a bug.

Alright, you'd know better than me, just thought maybe you misunderstood the report.

Finding rare foragables is strange and weird, quite simply. The idea is that finding rare things shouldn't be predictable. Not a bug.
