Hello please don't spread your filthy lies.
Characters are no longer able to see things when they are below a certain perc*exploration level*

So how does one find a bluebell with (e)10 perception and 1 exploration? How does that happen? Because it happened.

They fixed it, you can't do that anymore. Read the patch notes

- And I missed that part of the patch notes, my bad.

Your character will be able to find a set of rare foragables, each character is differnt ect.... thats about as much as i know.
You don't even know what you don't know about the fate system, bro.

Fate system is determining in some way how long you haven't gotten a lucky hit and then gives you a rare gift every now and then. Probably after you found like a bluebell or something the chances go down again that you will find another anytime soon.

They do not hit 0 though, village mate found 2 within 2 screens yesterday.


On the topic of flotsams: They do not just spawn on rivers anymore. Jorb hinted there is something more to it.
