Wondering if eggs actually do get harder to find as you level? Curious about what's actually available in each gathering profession, in each location? [b][i]We aim to figure out all that and more![/b][/i] Welcome to the FR Gathering Study! This is an ongoing study that aims to figure out the mysteries of gathering. For that, we need a lot of data, and I mean a LOT. That's where you come in! Folks like you can contribute to the study by logging your findings when you go gathering and submitting it through the Submission Form. Everything you submit helps make the study more accurate and gets us closer to the truth. The submitted data is automatically collected and analyzed by a database built by yours truly, and you can view the results by querying the data using a handy dandy website I made for it. Pick a link below to get started! [img]https://s2.postimg.cc/xgqe33p0p/Divider-640.png[/img] [size=4][b]The site is down for the time being. :([/b] I'm having issues with my web host - they appear to have deleted the site, though the database itself is still intact. Until I can reinstall everything from my backup there's just no site there for you to look at. But you can still submit data (the google form should still collect it).[/size] [img]https://s2.postimg.cc/xgqe33p0p/Divider-640.png[/img] [center][size=5][b]Thread Navigation[/b][/size] [size=4][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/2782433/1#post_41366761]News, Etc[/url] | [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/2782433/1#post_41366763]Interesting Findings[/url] | [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/2782433/1#post_41366764]Fun Stuff[/url] | [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/2782433/1#post_41366766]Credits[/url][/size] [size=5][b]External Links[/b][/size] [size=4][url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LsSzJrS2MBn0KohK7x_VdIZZG7mcF8_IMSI8p7BnEOM/edit?usp=sharing]Ping List[/url] | [url=https://forms.gle/5SfsEjUcC35bMp2s6]Submission Form[/url] | [url=http://ericag13.x10host.com/frgather]Results Site[/url][/size][/center]

But in the future, I'll put some findings on the rarity of unhatched eggs, those elusive mums, and other such things. If there's something you'd like to see reported on here eventually, tell me!

(reserved just in case)

Aaaaand done! You may now post, if you so desire.

Quick ping for those on the list; thread's up and running now!
@Welgan @Wandersong @CrazyDragy @TBHayate @Trilonyte

Yes ! I'm on it ! :D
Hope the info will gather well !

Ohhh, yes! Damn, it's looking good! I'll update it when I go gathering again, thank you for doing it!

Sweet, Im logging when I have the chance. Although I wonder, shouldn't the amount of items per gathering be tracked too? Or is it a separate RNG for how many Haunted Stone Orbs you get?

EDiT: Okay guys We have an Oopsie ^^''''' I may or may not have logged mine with some wrong levels.... I definitely did some days with Lvl 22 Instead of 25...
