Are pearls rarer?

[shampizle]

Boiled endless cupboards of mussels and no pearls to show for it

I can think of many others who are saying the same thing. 7 cupboards, no pearls?

These things seem to have been fated to death like glimmers

there not i usually get like 5 or 6 every 5 hrs or so its not the amount u boil its the time u take but i also pray to the pearl gods

Pearls are now a side effect of picking mussels. Enjoy them when you get them, but don't go looking.

Again, the alternative would be to make them much worse.

I don't like the idea of mass barges roaming the rivers vacuuming them for mussels just to bulk mash for pearls, and honestly I do not care whether those barges are manned by men or machines. That system was fucking retarded. This system -- hopefully -- encourages a more casual approach. Feel free to suggest better ideas, but at least address the problem that I'm trying to address, rather than rant about how retarded X, Y, or Z is. A, it stifles meaningful discussion, and B I just close my ears.

Nice jorb quote there.

Fate isn't a thing, but there's another limiting factor. I'm not entirely sure how to feel about it all, but I kind of stand by the sentiment in the quote there, at least. I understand the frustration, but I also don't like the alternative.

Remove fate 2.0

I understand the frustration, but I also don't like the alternative.

I like the alternatives better than originals tbh.

1. same lp/h at base quality
2. easier to mass produce
3. can raise quality
