I want to know if anyone got a bag of rainbow snow buff throuhg explorers the last weeks. I noticed that I didn´t got a single one in the last weeks (same on german server)
It looks like BB changed something or maybe it´s one more bug

Seen no change, you are probably just in an unlucky streak - it happens to everyone. Better luck on the next search! :)

I must agree to what Concita has said. I had that same feeling about the drop off on the bags.
In my opinion it has changed for about two or three weeks now. Can't exactly say. But to my feeling it started after the update for the BK event.

I cannot say I have seen anything like this. I have 6 lucky explorers doing artefact search and usually have rainbows every day. Sometimes 2 or more at the same time.

My explorers do 36 artefact searches per day, on average I get 3-6 daily, sometimes I get more and sometimes none. Rainbows are not guaranteed its luck of the draw, just keep sending explorers out and they will get them.

Just to clarify - how many weeks exactly?

I can´t say exactly but min. 8 weeks

RNG is RNG - that may seem like an excuse, but sometimes rare outliers are witnessed from time to time. However, as you've seen, we are taking steps to try and minimise these extreme instances.

In the most extreme bad runs you could go 70 to 80 searches without one dropping, so I would say there's something wrong if your going half a year without one. Alternatively, its possible to get 4 out of 5 runs...
This topic was discussed a while back and someone suggested giving the artefact search a break for a day or do, sending them out on treasure or adventure searches for a bit. Not sure I'm totally convinced, but if I were desperate I might try this...

Its just variance, i didnt get cutters for weeks then an influx of them. Same for Snow. None for weeks then this week loads each day...perfect timing for them pupkin noble patches in halloween :)

Exactly, John. We need to see a MUCH bigger sample size than just a couple of players to find a correlation. However, we will take any and all concerns into account; some information is better than none.

Arthur O'Artefact brought one in overnight.

one explorer skilled for artefact searches - he does 2 searches a day (with a medium treasure search in between) has returned with 4 snows in the last week (2 on one day)

My 6 lucky explorers came back with 4 bags of rainbow snow this morning.

I get quite a few on a quite regular basis, but I have 7 LE's + 6 Savvies with artefact search, so it's a matter of having as many explorers as possible with artefact search to increase the chances, ofc I get tons of junk buffs too.

I went months without any snow so I got fed up and stopped sending them on artefact searches. I would only do adventure searches for ages. Then the cutters seemed to get rare so i sent explorers back to ARTEFACT Searches. At first I saw fish platters and was a bit fed up but then a few good days of snow so Its total chance and just the luck of the draw. take a break from artefact searches for a few days and then try again. Hopefully that helps

My last Zombie buff was found maybe in March :( At least, I can't complain about Rainbow bags, they come at a regular basis.

Now that you mention it I havent gotten any zombies either. I odnt use them often so it hadnt crossed my mind but I cannot remember when I last got one. I had completely forgotten that I used to get some from searches But I prefer the snow so not complaining

Zombies only come from the shortest searches.

Zombies only come front the shortest searches.

My bad, I did lots of short treasure searches during Easter event, and that's why I believed Zombies were part of the standard buff package for Artefact Search as well.

You have the same chance to find rainbows every time you send out your exploreres. Not sending them out will only give you fewer rainbows in the end, not increase your chances in any way. The way to get rainbows is to keep sending your explorers out as soon as you can after they come home.

But you will of course have streaks of good luck sometimes and bad luck sometimes.

artefact sarch dosent really seems worth it, they return with cheese sandwich and irma basket over and over i have 8 on artefact i found 1 snowbag in a week, and were talking almost 16 searches pr day failing over a week drop rates are not normal in my eyes. especially the wt drop on rb .
