join me in the delta!!!!! also if you need scalebacks for the hibden, i've kept all the ones i've gotten so far so i have several to spare asdfghjkl
ooo lemme know if you want delta creeper drop data for comparison!!! i'd like to do some more drop studies outside of the sackdoll/scaleback situation just because i really wish there was more research on coli drops ;w;

@fwuitgummy (btw, should i ping you? are you subbed?)
no scalebacks needed, but thank you for the offer :D just missing some of the new guys, but i burnt myself out last week on wavecrest grinding & haven’t been able to put much time into it :-P plus, the first copy of any familiar i don’t already own goes directly in my vault as a hard personal rule (so i can check how many items are in the familiars tab of my vault & compare that number to my bestiary total, to be sure nothing unsecured is in danger of being transmuted or sold) SO i technically need 2 copies of any hibden familiar if it’s not in my bestiary yet. :-P
yesss i love data >:D my virgo cusp-ness is sensing an opportunity... An opportunity to make a spreadsheet... hohohoho
i think it would be really interesting to compare sand creeper drop rates 4 ways: sandswept delta no resetting, sandswept delta resetting for scalebacks & peacock scorpions, arena no resetting, & arena resetting for double-tailed warcats! i think for both it’d be good to track both time & battles, but i feel like requiring a battle counter might make me less willing to work on it since i do at least half my coli-ing on mobile to avoid incurring the wrath of my RSIs :-P ...but i could figure out my average speed in the delta and the arena in battles/minute on desktop and on mobile and then just use time data but extrapolate battle amounts.... hmm.. HMM
you’re resetting for iridescent scalebacks though, right? i won’t ask you to sidetrack from your quest, but if you get sand creepers from that then i could include it as a 5th category :D
i think i’ll do my tracking for all that over on my Q&C thread, but i’ll be sure to report back when i’ve got some data :] & i might make some grinding summary posts like you have here for when i’m in sandswept for a deity doll of my own, if that would be alright!
would you like to move some of this convo to discord, btw? no worries at all if you’d like to stay chatting here :] i simply like your vibes + ngl i am in DIRE need of FR friends WKDJSKS
edit: help i typed this on mobile i didn’t realize it got so long.. Whoops

@3ctoplasm (sorry im replying late!! you're good either way; im subbed but pinging me's fine!)
i think it'd be really fun to help with your leaf data!!! resetting for iridescents can be pretty monotonous, so I wouldn't mind another quest or two on the side to spice things up!! i don't mind recording battles also, since i've gotten into the habit of doing it for this challenge - be careful of your injuries!!!
id love to see your tracking thread once it's made! and that's totally alright, it'd be really fun to compare my luck with someone elses!!!
NO WORRIES, i am too dfsgjjk. i'll PM you my discord, i'd love to talk more about this!!!

woof, i've been grinding a loooot a lot; lots of work while i was on the train yesterday. i'm very tired, but weirdly motivated!!! lets go!!!
[b][color=#191970]grind time:[/color][/b] ~2hr
[b][color=#004192]special drops:[/color][/b] basket of treasure, minor HP, dark acuity, pretty aqua leg bows!!

[size=2]new![/size] [b][color=#0082ac]recorded IS appearance rate:[/color][/b] 6.8% (25 appearances/363 encounters)
new feature: i'm recording Iridescent Scaleback appearance rates!! at least one grind session per week i'd like to record my encounters in the delta and figure out how often IS's actually appear. i wont do it for every grind session because that's simply Too Insane, but i'd at least like to get an idea!! right now my working hypothesis is that IS's appear 10% of the time, but we'll see
aside from that, a lots happened in the past 24 hours; i have my general outline for chapter 1 of Cyprum's fic finished, a very vague outline of the fic overall (27 chapters? maybe?), and!! i'm working on a ref sheet for his gijinka design!

ya boy has been very tired and not up to writing at all asdfghjkl woops! but thats ok!! i'll rest up then get back into lore-ing these goofballs up
in the mean time, today's biolocke is being replaced with some world building questions!! i need to get more connected to my interpretation of sornieth, so i'll be randomizing a question from [url=https://sunnydwrites.tumblr.com/post/172942720370/70-questions-for-world-building]this list[/url]!
[quote][center][size=4][b]Does your world have an education system?
If so, which areas of study are the most valued?[/b][/size][/center][/quote]
education depends a little on where you grow up!! some places, like the Sunbeam Ruins, generally homeschool hatchlings before university/guild education because the parents themselves have the time and passion for teaching! other places, like the Shifting Expanse or Flotsam Town, don't leave you with a lot of time to teach your young outside of work/survival, so communities have informal schools set up to teach reading and writing. to enter into higher learning, a dragon need only apply, demonstrate their skillset, and wait for acceptance.
magic is definitely the most valued study! its a long and difficult road to perfect but that's what makes it so impressive! it's important to note that academic magic and battle magic are valued differently - academic magic is all about researching and revitalizing spells from past sornieth and composing original modern spells. battle magic rarely progresses in level, has little structured learning, and is only used by employed warriors and flight fodder (which ill talk about more in-depth somewhere else asdfgjll). all magic is the same, but how you learn your magic colors peoples' perceptions of you, if that makes sense!
