[Troll digging] 0.002% are real ?

Post by Valgar »

I would like to know if the 0.002% to dig a troll are real this world cause I'm digging a troll on litteraly each layer, and no we aren't mining like minecraftians.

Anyone noticed more troll on World 16 or it's just I should play money games ?

Last I played they were like gems, some areas got higher chance than others.
Occasionally there were areas that had crazy high rates for trolls

While I'm usually avoiding to be biased like "x has more chance to trigger y just because I do x more often than z", in past worlds I intentionally dug minimap-sized areas with credo bonus to have easy to kill troll, and it was incredibly hard to spawn one.
On deeper levels the chance is definitely higher

One miner it's all the time the same, haven't the "X more chance to spawn a Troll", and spawn a troll every 500 mined tiles :(

Just RNG. Across all the villages mining that I talk to the troll rate is same as it's been last couple worlds.

Three, cluster of people I've known a couple worlds. None of them faction grade or anything, but with our mining efforts put together I think it's a tolerable sample size.

I've always assumed they're like ore veins that have a chance to !

maybe the troll nodes are grid based, meaning every grid on every level has the same "troll spawn node quality", because i was told they have spawning chance nodes.

Did you dig the "same grid" on every level, maybe your village's minehole shaft down to l9 or something like that?

This ! Now you're talking about this, this could be more or less the same grid. Let's say, about 30-50 tiles.
