Quest Issue: Ripened Heart Fruit

Fountree · #1 01-03-2012, 05:29 PM

Have not foraged a Ripened Heart Fruit for Druid Epic in Gfay after 8 hours here of constant foraging. Have gotten a stack of morning dew and several stacks of fruit, berries and cinnamon sticks (as well as fishing grubs). Faelin should be a rare spawn per allakhazam comments, but I don't see any mention of the rarity of this Ripened Heartfruit on Allakhazam..in fact i see many comments validating its relative ease in being foraged. I have 200 forage skill and people have mentioned on Alla that they have foraged the fruit with as little as 20 skill. Please look into this issue thank you!

I foraged one, try asking other druids/rangers about this stuff first before you start posting bugs. Just because you don't get it in 8 hours doesn't make it a bug, the RNG is just hateful sometimes.

Yeah, I got one last night.

I did ask other druids Rusl, I don't care if other people got them or if you got them, theres a problem with rarity. Especially considering my foraging skill is maxed. That's the issue...

So then if rarity is the issue provide some evidence that it shouldn't be so rare instead of just QQin about how you spent 8 hours foraging and didn't get it then. From what I remember on live some people got them in 1 try while for others it took hours, personally it took me 2 days foraging to get all 4 pieces back on live so I'm gonna go with this is working as intended.

Took me about 8 hours total also. Other people zoned in and foraged it within 5-10 minutes. Keep clicking!

This isn't a QQ...
heres the link to Allakhazam:

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=4100

Check the comments...is there any indication of this items foraging rarity? Actually a lot of evidence to the contrary...most people saying how easy it was to forage with very little skill.

"There is no specific skill level that you must be at to obtain this item. Sometimes it's just luck of the draw, my friend. Case in point: my girlfriend just recently started a wood elf druid and at level 6, she has picked up a few of them; then yourself at level 42 hasn't gotten a one. All I can say is that persistance will persevere."

Taken right from that link, again some people it takes 2 seconds some people it takes 2 days it's all luck, sorry you aren't having any atm. Also LOL at me being a douche, I'm a ranger myself would love it if these things were a 1 click and I automatically get them but sadly that ain't classic, a shitty RNG is tho [You must be logged in to view images.

There isn't any special rarity to foraging. You have a list of so many things you can forage, you get one of them when you succeed. You got very unlucky, other people got very lucky.

Just because you had bad luck with something, doesn't mean it's bugged.

Are you saying each item on the zone's list is equal in rarity? I hate to disagree with the uthman, but I am if that is the case.
Try and forage an emerald orange in EJ. I was once tracking sever for about 6 hours with this newbie master brewer in the zone, he asked me for help and we both managed to forage 4 total (2 each). No way that out of 150+ forages 2 emerald oranges is equal.
