I’ve been testing treasure charts and I’ve noticed a really odd coorelation with how they spawn treasure.
Treasure charts, for some reason, seem to prioritize larger islands for spawning treasure. So, I got to testing. I got 17 common treasure charts (and nothing more than the first tier of various chart rarities as a chart cannot repeat going to one island multiple times, which throws off the chances)
The spawn chances for charts appeared as follows:
Frostmill: 6
Shell island: 5
Ravenna: 2
Goso Jungle: 1
Elm Island: 1
Windrow: 1
Harvest: 1
(All others in this case were exactly 0.)
What causes this? Can it be fixed in the future? I get that these chances could have been manipulated in the effort to make it easy to find multiple charts for islands that need… multiple charts, for full sea exploration: but this doesn’t feel very fun anymore after looking at the odds. It just feels tedious, becoming more and more of a grind the closer I get to 100% completion.
(That or i’m severely unlucky, as this is a small samplesize. I encourage others to test this and see what their results are: i’m at level 125 so maybe that has something to do with it…)
they spawn in a random part, so large islands made of more parts will have more
the easiest way to fix this is to probably make it choose an island first and then a part
as far as i know, the chart chooses a random possible part out of the entire map then the prompt is generated
theres no island chosen before that, which is why islands with a lot of possible locations are very common, while others like akursius keep with like 5 patches of grass are much harder to get
Im not a coder so I don’t know how difficult this would be, but wouldn’t it be a better system for it to choose an island first, then choose a part within that island? Makes it more fun, imo.
makes more sense to get more charts for the bigger islands to complete multiple at once rather than getting as many on the smaller ones where its always similar locations. that and the exploration requirements are already built around that
but tbh idk why he made it like that
Thats a fair reaction, but i’m doing this solely for the Bronze Sea Explorer badge.
