I'm convinced that Exploration sucks ass now.

I have nothing further to say on the subject. Do with it what you wish.

Will look at the requirements, though.

This just in, UA does give some advantage in a fight, but 1UA alts can still prevail if the random dicerolls from RNGorbsus see fit.

In seriousness though, is there any information or even hints you can give to what this system is? I genuinely feel like the points I've been putting into exploration have been a total waste of LP when the amount/range of curios hasn't really changed at all since I got it to 15*15. I live near three massive swamps, and have seen neither a bluebell nor bolette since launch (now at 35*35)!

You just made us feel like our wasting LP on useless thing...If high per*exp could not lead us to more better curiosities

There is a very noticable difference between 1 exploration and 10 exploration
If you're foraging nettles, that is

The idea is not that it shouldn't lead you to better curiosities.

Did not lead to better curiosities ( I know it may be a bug,please fix ),nor did it lead to more..

And yet that's how it is.

Double negative action!
So the take away from this thread is that right now there's an issue with perception/exploration at low levels allowing players to see curiosities they shouldn't until they get higher. I also suspect the fact higher skill characters aren't seeing these curiosities very often might well be linked to whatever issue is causing that to happen. All this talk and distaste for luck and RNG evilness is ignorable, it's intended that a higher level of exploration/perception will increase a player's chance of seeing more and better foragables just like before.

Sounds about right!

No it's not.
Tangled Bramble
Royal Toadstool
snapdragon
glimmermoss (around 1500-2000 perc x explo )
Enthroned toad

are all curios that requires you to spend some points in explo and perc.

(I confirm that for now , the rares ones are bugged tho , elder , bluebelles , boelete and floatsam)
