Harvesting bugged! (esp. for Iksar)

[rittmeister]

I'm harvesting 95%+ food and hardly ever water.
This makes that skill much less useful, because I have to go visit a water merchant anyway all the time. Forage is a max for Iksar Necro (50).
Would be nice if you could tweak the rnd a bit in favor of finding water.
thanks.

That's a Velious patch. If you're thirsty, you'll get or will be more likely to get water.

[rittmeister]

good to read. thanks.

Thought this was going to be about wizards and exploiting mana regen.

Same. Came in expecting non-classic exploit.

Left feeling quite immersed with an extremely classic complaint about forage.

It's all in how you stroke the rng. Sometimes I get 3-4 waters in 15 minutes.

I've been playing my druid for about 3 years or maybe a little more. I bound /forage to movement key.

I have never bought food/water and was always giving food/water away or /destroying food/water to make room in my bags for lootz.

I noticed the other day i was down to less than 1 stack of water and i thought to myself wtf? But i shook it off and continued on in my quest for more lootz.

I noticed yesterday i was down to 2 water....plenty of food still.

Maybe the California drought is worse than i thought?

I....am....thirsty.

*****Editors Note******
I never ever foraged as much water as food...probably around 5:1, 6:1, or 7:1....constantly destroying food.

Same thing as a bard. I've got max Forage but typically get like 10:1 food:water and even like 5:1 non-food:water. While I'm fine going long periods of time without a drink, the spam starts to get annoying.

Yep, that's how it usually is. I seem to be getting water more often on my druid these days than before, but I've never read anywhere that frequency of water is affected by skill level so it may just be statistics.

What I end up doing sometimes is making fruit or berry juice (2 foraged items + 1 flask water = 5 juices). Doesn't free up space but it does convert some of what I forage into beverages and makes me feel like I'm wasting less.
