Yeah, my second collection yielded a big fat nothing as well. I guess I was lucky getting a simple and a hearty feast at my first collection. Nevertheless, I'll keep collecting regularly for a while and see what my average is. I know that my Cyclonician, for example, sometimes drops nothing, but it drops enchanter's / lumin essences often enough that it still makes sense to keep collecting. I hope this is where we'll land with Marko! Good luck!
Yes, that's the disadvantage of random drops.
Sounds like you could use the Guard Dogs too, as extra feast droppers. (alas only simple and hearty feasts though, like Marko)
They come with the Guardsman Walker. (when you buy the walker, you can buy the 2 dogs) Their really good.
Finally crafted the last green re-gnome spell and was all excited about getting to the awakening craft...until it hit me I need another 30 petals for this. Okay, another 2 hour wait for petal collection before I can get on but looks like I’ll finish today too. Glad to be done with the monotony of slaying and harvesting petals. On to other kingdom business that’s been neglected these past 11 days.
