Tried selling an adolescent arcane apoterrasaur to see how much it would go for...400 beans. Dragons, which have a lower farming requirement, are much easier to get, and take the exact same time to grow (I checked) give 2k beans, five times as much. Hell, zygomites and yaks give twice as many beans. Who did this, and why? Like...I thought I was done being disappointed, but Jagex one ups themselves yet again.
External link →So we'd gone for relatively low bean amounts on launch as these sit alongside the existing bean amounts you get. I.e you get the dragon AND the dinosaur, whereas before you would have just gotten the dragon OR the dinosaur. But we were keeping an eye on it to get a sense of how it feels.
As it stands we think the small bean amount was the wrong approach, so I'm now working on a hotfix to get more appealing numbers into the game which will make them more satisfying to sell on.
I get that, but I feel like a better route would have been to lower dragons, say to 1200? And have dinosaurs start at a similar price to dragons, increasing with tier. Achieves a similar result while not making dinos feel worthless
I honestly don't think nerfing the existing beans rates would have gone down too well.
It's largely a moot point anyway, new values incoming shortly.
Is it normal that 2 studly 100% happy/healthy salamanders haven't bred for over 3 days in the breeding pen? My medium animals in the medium pen breed more often than salamanders...
Yes. The animals on the ranch out of time have quite long breeding durations.
When I said medium animals I meant medium dinosaurs on the ranch. I get more baby jadinkos and slayer dinosaurs in the med pen than I do salamanders in the breeding pen, when I thought breeding pen had better breed rates and small animals breed more often than medium?
Salamanders just seem out of whack in comparison. Today will be the 4th day with no eggs lol.
I've given the code a quick look over and I'm not seeing anything that should be making salamanders behave differently. There is a luck element involved though, so I suspect that's the case here. I'll keep an eye on it, but there's nothing that makes them behave differently to other animals.
