I just found a single Blood Stern. That is the one somewhat decent thing I've found with my exploration since I started playing.

This post saddens me, come on flotsam! I'm putting everything into exploration. But will continue? I don't know....

Perhaps, to facilitate the difficulty of the game and ease newbies into it, Jorb implemented beginner's luck to the game, and as you grow more experienced it becomes harder to find rarities.

Have yet to see a Bluebell but I did find Edelweiss pretty early on, and have yet to find one now that my char's a bit more developed. I honestly don't know - in one case it's obvious that you need certain exploration*perc to see more forageables, as is evident when you raise it high enough to see chantrelles for example. On the other side, we see high-end forageable curios with low exp*perc, though a lot of them did get nerfed. No idea why high exp*perc chars would see less of these, but here's my two guesses:

Even with high exp*perc, there's still a % chance you don't see the forageable
It's a placebo

Rarity of curios probably depends on a region, not biome to facilitate more travelling/exploring. If jorb is in full troll mode - it may depend on a distance to map center - more curios in the middle.

Herb spawnrates and requirements are the same as before. Some, however, will only be found fate allowing.
