    Crops Dropping Energy

    I have two kingdoms, one that I quit for a few years then took back up. On that one, my crops sometimes drop energy. But I no longer remember how I got them to do that. I imagine it was a reward for a quest, but I don't know where to even look in the goal thread to figure it out. Help?

    I think it just happens with a certain amount of collections. I could be wrong I've been playing awhile

    The knowledge shard that drops from the tablet of tabernum triggers research that when competed increases your energy production when collecting crops. Unfortunately it does not seem to be 33% that is promised except for possibly the wheat crop.

    shard #3 is the agricultural shard. My experience is that energy does drop about a third of the time across all crop types. You also get extra crops drops as well.

    I just harvested 12 corn and got one energy. That is not 33%. That is not even "about" 33%. This happens quite often for me and it is frustrating. The description on the card says 33% reduction in energy, so it should be that on every third harvest an energy is dropped. This should not be a 33% percent "chance" because some of us are extremely unlucky compared to others, and that is not what the card says. Good for you if you are getting that much energy, but I would have to disagree with having the same experience.

    I agree with calipitter, I think something's wrong. On queentina3 account I just harvested a crop of 25 strawberries and only got 3 energy back. On my 2tina account I noticed after harvesting over 30 wheat crops I only got 1 energy back. That isn't right at all, and I have the shards on both these accounts.
    Current games on queentina3 ID: Castle, Fairytale, Farm 2, RS 1, Diamond Quest. Games under this ID are named AppleBlossom.

    Current game on 2tina ID: Castle only and goes by the name AppleBlossom2. I know, it isn't very original. Shut up!

    I tip and run - don't ask me to write on your wall, as I won't. I don't expect you to write on mine. If you tip, great, if you don't, also great. Just answer my requests and I'll be happy.

    I've experienced not getting any energy from harvesting tons of crops and also getting energy return on almost every single crop. The 33% energy back is an average, although there's also the theory that it is a 33% chance of getting energy back, but in that case some people out there absolutely never get any energy back from harvesting and some people have an energy factory! I think that would be bad for the game economy

    I postulate for the second. You get a 33% chance to have 1 energy drop. Like you have a small % to double your crop drop or getting a fey crystal.
