I'm convinced that Exploration sucks ass now.

I made an alt recently, found more rare curios
than my main forager has every seen within the
first 5 hours of play time

Make newbs
Get good curios
Transfer to main
Rinse
Repeat?

Are you sure bluebells and floatsam actually exist in this game? Or you're expecting to find the same things?

[cpt1silencer]

I think it's based off biomes, I don't find any bluebells in my swamp. but the strange swamp grassland next to it gives bluebells and dewy mantles every day.

Also I have only seen one Bloated Bolete which I failed to gather as I was hunting at the time, meanwhile my brother at 1 exploration and 10 perc finds 3 while running to my camp.

Bluebells exist, pretty sure flotsam does as well but I haven't run across any yet. We run into bluebells quite a bit.

Bluebells are definitely in, and Jorb has said, multiple times, that Flotsam or in, but nobody seems to have had a single one as of yet.

[shubla]

Why people think flotsams are in game? No one has confirmed that. No one has found them. Theres absolutely no evidence that they would be in game.
jorb pls confirm

[shykamaru]

Yeah I feel the same way too. I am at 42x40 and it seems that foraging to get the rare/good curios is a bit of a waste of time now. Either they are very rare now or the cap to see all of them is much higher and there is a bunch of good curios sitting at very high exp x per waiting to be seen. Considering lp is harder to get in general, I'm not very willing to try the second one and then discovering it was a useless effort...
Seems time is better spent doing other activities like mining and get decent curios way more reliably and doing something actually productive than spend time foraging a swamp praying that bluebell will show up.

On the flotsam issue Jorb did confirm that they exist in another thread. I think they are harder to find too because if they spawn in deep water as before, well, there is significantly more shallow waters in this world map

[shubla]

Maybe they only spawn in some conditions
