I have 27.3% rare harvest chance and max mining skill. In over 30 minutes of harvesting for Primal Luclizite shards, I have gotten 2 rares so there is no way the rare harvest stat is working properly.
Same here, I have 36,6% rare harvest and have spent hours upon hours trying to get rares without much luck. So far I have got overall between 25 and 30 rares in a month, it should be at least 10 times that amount by now. Another thing is the shadow harvest, nothing to talk about for a month, just a big disaster. So, I have quit harvesting in the Blinding for now until the dev. team see fit to fix this disaster.
I enjoy the shadow aspect of the game rares in 30 minutes I can get up to 10 that's a fantastic turn around! Thanks to Den updated suggestions. I ran 1 hour of regular nodes on only 12% and I was able to get 18 pomes rares and 10 mushrooms a few other rares so I'm not sure how you're running your harvesting.
well i think the range loved you i usually run for around 8-15 rares per hours harvesting all node i find with around 37% rare harvest ( not counting the root which are the only rare which get an ok drop rate).. bug or working as intended ????
Not seen any acknowledgement of this yet, but it's still very much the case. All nodes bar roots seem to ignore the rare harvest chance.
Some data I collected with my rare harvesting chance at 72.8% in Blinding, Feb 10, 2021: Total attempts: 201. Rare: 53. Percent Rare: 26.3% Coalesced stone cluster attempts: 24. Rare: 0. Percent Rare: 0% Crawling root break attempts: 48. Rare: 37. Percent Rare: 77% Fallen branch attempts: 28. Rare: 3. Percent Rare: 10.7% Lunar berry bush attempts: 27. Rare: 0. Percent Rare: 0% Rockhopper den attempts: 39. Rare:4. Percent Rare: 10.2% Soft metal vein attempts: 26. Rare: 0. Percent Rare: 0%
Some of us are becoming convinced that rare harvest chances have zero to do with any rare harvesting stats you may have.
Rare harvest chance as always been capped at 10% except for roots everywhere, I collected tons of data with a parser (several thousands of pulls) back in BoL beta to get it fixed and it never was. I hope it'll get fixed one day. I never tried to improve my rare harvest chance due to that as it's pointless.
Well, vote for getting it fixed by clicking 'Like' on the top post. Especially since rare harvests are now required for raid advancement.
When you see it announced on national news that people in Hell just got ice water, you know the fix is coming up next.
I'll just add my voice here as well. My harvest skills are over 1k, bountiful harvest at 101% and rare harvest chance at 86%. If I avoid roots, I will harvest over 300 mats before I'll get a rare. BoL and RoS zones.
Doesn't it work something like: normally you have let's say 0.5% chance. So with 100% rare harvest chance you would have 1% chance. The base % in these zone is just really low I think. As intended.
