Quest Issue: Ripened Heart Fruit

[Uthgaard]

There isn't any special rarity to foraging. You have a list of so many things you can forage, you get one of them when you succeed. You got very unlucky, other people got very lucky.

Just because you had bad luck with something, doesn't mean it's bugged.

Are you saying each item on the zone's list is equal in rarity? I hate to disagree with the uthman, but I am if that is the case.
Try and forage an emerald orange in EJ. I was once tracking sever for about 6 hours with this newbie master brewer in the zone, he asked me for help and we both managed to forage 4 total (2 each). No way that out of 150+ forages 2 emerald oranges is equal.

Just curious on the mechanics of this. Does that basically mean you have an equal chance to loot any 1 item on the forage table?

For example, sitting in innothule swamp, I've already managed to forage a a full stack of Fishing Grubs, Berries, Fruit, Rabbit Meat, Vegetables, Pod of Water, and half a stack of Roots and Speckled Toadstool before I started dropping things on the ground. If I could get about 20 and more of every other forage-able item, shouldn't I also be seeing more quest pieces? (I had the exact same experience in Gfay, btw)

edit: ok so you did just say things should be spawning equally. that still doesn't account for situations of, say, 8 druids/rangers sitting together in a circle spamming forage and only getting a quest piece every other hour or so, between all of them..
