how about a full book refund due to a drastic mechanic change?

Have 5 scouts going out twice a day. Just added a lucky to the mix a few days ago. So went from 10 searches a day to 13 a day.

I think this is the problem because i have 2x the number of searches and i am returning the same amounts approximately. And this amount is actually higher than it was where i went a week getting less than a handful.

Are you writing down your results? I know there are weeks when I think it's been crappy, yet when I count up what's in star I'm pleasantly surprised. I place rainbows every thursday evening, so that's when I count them up and track what I use for the week.

i collect them all for now, since there's nothing to place them on at the moment (selling is most profitable option at 2,500)... 20 rainbows in 28 days since 8/15 on 420 searches.... below 5%....

[Bigbobdog]

I didnt write down my results. However take today for instance 0 for 26 so far. I have had plenty of similar days lately. And yes the 0 fors may balance out over time usually but right now that balance seems to be a significantly lower percentage than it was previously a few weeks ago.

Guess we could keep this thread going and post our results from time to time. Who knows, two weeks from now you guys might be finding lots and I'll be complaining about crappy search results.

My intake over 4 days (the granularity I balanced around) varies a fair bit cycle to cycle. Some are horrendous, others are monty-hall, but the average over time hasn't shifted. I do 24 searches a day between the different type of explorers, my long-term average is just over 2 a day (low point 36 hours no drop, high point 5 in one search/7 total that day)

[Troll-Phu]

drop rates have always been tweeked so dry spells come and go but it has seemed like it happened right after a miantenance. if they wouldn't address the issues of book resets or bookbinder resets after the acheesment system started what makes you think they will now?

[Gwalben]

I don't generally track but did last week after reading this thread. I do a bit over 50 searches a week (ideally 56, but I usually miss a few). I found 4 last week, so about 7-8%. Okay results.

[Perwyn]

Week of 9/12 to 9/18 got 9 rainbows. Still in my normal range. However, after adding a lucky explorer about 2 weeks ago am expecting my finds to increase by 1 or 2 a week. So far he hasn't been very lucky. Time will tell.
