Multiple Artifact searches

My first explorer had been doing Artifact searches with great results. I would find wonderful buffs and several bags of rainbows a week. During the World Cup event, my 2nd explorer got skills to do Artifact searches also. I thought it'd great, two fast explorers doing Artifact searches; I was going to in the "buff money." However, that was not the case. As soon as I started sending both Explorers to do Artifact searches my results were horrible. Sandwiches and fish platters was all I found. After a month of this, I decided to go back to sending only one explorer and I'm back to getting great results again. Anyone else seen this pattern?

no

i have all my explorers on artifact searches (21 total explorers) i usually get 4-7 rainbows per day. this morning i received 7 rainbows 1 snack and 600 granite, yesterday i received a total of 7 snacks from the 2 cycles of searches. So it takes about 5 days for one explorer to find one rainbow buff.

I actually just posted in trade tab that i thought they increased the drop rates as of the explorer bonus thing that BB started, since i received 14 rainbows in less than 2 days and a guildie of mine received 9 rainbows yesterday....

I suppose they actually did increase the drop rates because of the bonus loot you can receive buffs now in a 2nd slot on regular explorers, and a 3rd buff slot for the luckys. I have found 3 rainbows in the extra slot since the bonus time started

i prefer the 21 v. 2 sample size

a percentage chance is just that. even a 50/50 such as flipping a coin can result in 10 'tails' in a row...

I think the drop rate for rainbow buffs was increased. It's fantastic!

The drop rate for rainbow snow is right about 10%. Sometimes I get a lot close together, sometimes there's a dry spell and I wanna pull my hair out over freakin fish platters. But in tracking my results, it consistenlty works out to 10%, give or take a tenth % or so.

Will training up a Lucky Explorer be worth the results?

If a tree falls in the forest and there's no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?

The sun rises whether someone is watching or not. lol

Um actually, no. The sun appears to rise.

it all "depends"... as it is now, imo, there's no better tree to put your books considering your time and effort... 1 "fast" explorer brings (very rough estimate) minimum of 600 gc worth of stuff per day (assuming you send him out for search twice per 24 hours)... but long run it just may be that you'd be better of saving all the tomes/codices to put into yet unreleased trees.... given how difficult it is to obtain tier 2/3 books....

i did my 3 luckies with rarity cause 3 chances a day at free beans and buffs is better than a star full of buffs i don't use
