"Research: Agriculture" effect isn't working.

I received this item from the piece of the tabernum agriculture quest. The item says it reduces energy required for harvesting crops by 33%. It does this by returning 1 energy every 3 harvests.

But it wont grant me any energy back unless I look at the item in my storage immediately before harvesting. -_- The game keeps forgetting I have it, and it just keeps getting pushed further and further back into storage so it's a pain to keep having to find it.

Okay it's not working consistently either. It just gave me 1 energy after harvesting a whole row of crops. -_-

I think it works more like you have a 33% chance to get one energy back.

Its working as intended, you can have 1 energy in EVERY drop, or none at all, its 33%, that doesnt mean if you dont get it the first time, it will go up to 66% and then 99%, it resets itself back to 33% every time, Im not going to get into probabilistic with you, but trust me, I have gotten over 5 energy in a row, and then sometimes I have gotten none out of 5

mikado86 is correct that the probability stays the same the whole time. Imagine you have a jar with 100 marbles, 33 being marked with an e for energy. Each time you harvest a crop you draw a marble from the jar. If it has an e on it you get energy. After you look at the marble you place it back in the jar and shake the jar up and down. Next harvest you still only have 33/100 changes to get energy back.

I've harvested crops and the energy I get back from a whole field can be a little or a lot. This is all in the normal spectrum of probability.

Looking at your shard or scroll in your inventory won't change the odds of you getting energy back. It's just a coincidence when it seems to work.

Lol, playing CS is like refreshing your math education. It also trains you on time and resource management.

Hi. Of late not seeing the research agriculture effect when harvest crops. Usually get back 1/3 energy needed to harvest as collecting crops. No longer getting any energy is most cases. Can TL check on this?

The Energy drop rates are still the same from harvesting after you get Research: Agriculture.
