Hi! I’ve been farming for a starter/hatchling for an hour and after about a thousand tries I haven’t seen one yet… I know the spawn rate should be 1/200 so it seems strange (I’m tapping two north of Orlen).
My strategy is to keep a high level metallodius first, so I can easily escape if no hatchling has spawned (i.e. I tap for battle, escape, tap for battle, escape,etc.) does escaping instead of fighting affect the spawn rates somehow?? There must be something wrong of this sort…
As far as I know, It does not affect the spawn rates, nor should it. I have farmed with the metallodious method for upwards of 40 hours for all sorts of arkadions(Including starters/wyrms). I have gotten some also without Metallodius. It just takes a crapload of patience. Put some music on and just go with it.
Thats what I mean! If you use that method then you should be easily doing 10 battles per minute and therefore 600 battles per hour. If it takes everybody several hours to farm a hatchling then the spawn rate can’t possibly be 0.5%!! Anyways I’ll follow your advice and thanks for the quick reply!
Guaranteed is 1 for every 2000 battles. The ingrained code makes that happen. The actual chance are 1/200. But people with really bad luck have hit 2k before.
Im not sure. I presume it would probably be cumulative, the amount of time needed to do 2000 battles is overwhelming. The way the game is coded gives you the .5% mob at 2000 battles. I have not had this happen before, since i found them before then, but all logic points toward it being cumulative.
The 0.5% spawn rate is not cumulative, that’s why it’s not guaranteed you’ll get a hatchling after 200 battles. But the 2000 counter is, indeed, cumulative, and it resets every time you get a hatchling. But I don’t know if the metallodious trick affects this counter.
