Is there a way to raise the appearance ratio of an ark? For example, if a leafy has a ratio of 1/200, can I put certain arks in my party to raise that to 1/100 or so on? If so, please explain… \*wishing on a star ---

And I believe its 1/200 chance per Ark that spawns and you get 2-3 Arks per spawn so ---

Hmm weird… I tested this one time:P  I started with 72 silver and began hunting for Spark when I finally got it I had 40000+ silver… Without shutting the app down or moving up a spot or going to a town… Thats why im surprised that its 1/200 because they only give around 100 silver when u defeat the arks u face ---

That’s only 400 battles. That’s not that many, really. ---

The ratio is fixed. The second time you go for battle, it will still be 1/200. & therefore it might even take you years to find them if they didn’t put the 2000 battle counter. ---

So what exactly are the metallidious techniques and the 2000 counter. Thanks btw ---

Metallodious “trick”: [http://www.hunterislandforum.com/index.php/topic/707-the-best-and-most-efficient-way-to-farm-rares/](http://www.hunterislandforum.com/index.php/topic/707-the-best-and-most-efficient-way-to-farm-rares/) 2000 counter: After 2000 battles, and you have still not encountered a hatchling, you are guaranteed a hatchling. If you get a hatchling before the counter hits 2000, the counter will reset back to zero. Each battle adds one to the counter. the counter shouldn’t reset at all unless you find a hatchling or when you reach 2000. ---

Shiny hunting was way way worse! You had a 1/8192 chance. Compare that to 1/200 and it’s nothing. Hunting for shiny’s was a real chore… ---

To be honest I would rather hunt for shinies than do my house chores. Just sayin’. But, uh, that’s beside the point. ---

True, although I’m sure you could finish your chores thrice over and still not be close to finding a shiny in the same time frame :lol: [Next page](https://www.neomonstersforum.com/t/faster-rare-finds/1966.md?page=2)
