I just got 2 water from one of my hollows. I haven’t seen anyone else report multiple drops.
I just got 2 water from one of my hollows. I haven’t seen anyone else report multiple drops.
I've been doing the math constantly and don't think i will make it. I've got plenty of energy (already made all the beams and blocks and ropes-just waiting on 6 petals). I have even set timers the past 2 nights for the hydronous hollows. I started the event the minute it started. Got 2 free bulbs so have had every advantage (besides drop rates). With my typical 1 drop from 2 hollows, I finish crafting the 3rd Oxa in 11 hours. 15 hours before my first collection from all three Oxa. This is the middle of the night and I just can't set 2 am alarms anymore. That's just over 7 days to get all the ore (currently have 8) and larvae.
Also, I have the ability to login throughout the day whenever I need to. There's no way Players who can't login constantly will finish.
If the larvae drop rate is 50%, I would literally need to log in every hour of everyday PLUS none of us are factoring in CRAFTING times.
We need to subtract a minimum of 3 hours from the regular end time to craft the last portal key and do the final upgrade (3 because you need to complete the craft, then upgrade, 2 hours wouldn't be enough). Players without extra energy sources may still be crafting the last of their beams, blocks and ropes and might need even more time after the last collections.
I won't be able to report spawn and drop rates until tomorrow. My 1 Oxa has given 1 ore every collection. I didn't pay attention the 2 times I collected from both Oxa.
The 4 hour Oxa collection time doesn't sense.

I haven't been playing long, and this was the first event I felt I could actually finish. Even with the Gigantus issue Android had. But now I'm on Goal 9 (taming Oxas) and realize I'm actively shut out from the rest of it. I'm only level 22 (21 when I started the event). I can't make the Light Armor required. RIP prizes. >_<
Does that happen often? You're allowed to start and event you are incapable of finishing?
So the maths is:
You can craft 1 Portal Key a day.
So 6 days in total.
(maximum collections)
6 collections from 3 Oxa gives 18 Portal Ore.
And 14 visits to The Portal on the hour.
(droprates are 100%)
That said we all need sleep. haha
Reducing down to 4 Oxa collections a day ...
(1 miss for sleep , 1 miss for life stuff)
... it blows out to 9 days!!!
Less than the time we have left.
Storm8, this is a LOT of pressure to put on players.
On top of all the bugs (tech wise, not the Portalpillars ) respite is needed.
Is an easy fix to award all players the Planomos Pine?
The world is an increasingly intense place these days , let’s keep the good vibes flowing here at CS.
Yes. This happened to me for years. I feel you!! Events are hard until you have energy droppers, gold nugget suppliers, and other various resource droppers-IMO. I would start events constantly and not have the mithril, gold nuggets, feasts, energy, etc etc etc. it gets easier as you go along in the game and collect the things that drop needed items.
Does anyone know if the binary bulb ever drops two petals?
In 8 collections, I have always only had 1 petal drop but it is a guaranteed drop. In the remaining time of this event, you can collect sufficient petals even if you have not started yet. Main bottleneck would be portal ores from Oxa and to a lesser extent, depending on if you can hourly babysit the game, portalpillar larvae.
I think if you are able to begin an event, it should be possible for you to finish it as well.
I think the issue of the Light Armor is overlooked.
It's one thing if you just don't have the required items/ energy etc. , but it's totally different if you are unable to make the required item.
They should have changed the requirements (Light Armor) OR change the required level to begin the event.
Spiritwind, do you know more about this/ can you do something about this?
