Mature Egg Drop Rate

As a Catskills player, the rate seems beyond "very rare" for a mature egg drop. Is there a % chance assigned to that? Also, given the rarity, I'd encourage the devs to rethink setting the wrestling to be 120 at a minimum, since it can be up to 130. I've read of people finally getting an egg only to have 110 wrestle. I think that's something that was overlooked -- especially if the drops rates are this abysmal. 

My suggestion: increase the drop rate, still making it rare, just not as rare as it is currently, and set 120 wrestling to be the minimum spawn for these.

    Indeed, their spawn rate is abysmally low...

    They should get quite a boost in their spawn rate in hidden chests, treasure maps nests and as a drop from the Matriarch also...

    Depending on the notes the nest 4-5 high luck drop seems good.. same with the matriarch no luck.

    If you want mature eggs once u've collected enough rare stealable u might wanna change activity.
    So rather than recognise the effort the botters went to, to set all that up - for the benefit of the players, to help get certain items, something you could never be bothered to do, you would rather drag people backwards to your neanderthal world?

    Leave attended paying accounts alone, these people go thru a lot of trouble to automate the game.

    It’s comical to me you are so frightened of somehow bod scripters get some sort of advantage.

    Problem is, that I have YET to collect even 1 single rare stealable from the Hidden Chests...

    And, mind you, I am using 2,875 worn Luck while trying...

    I can only spend so much of my time in the game (and I do not use scripted BOTs), because of my Real Life demands... if I do Hidden Chests I cannot do else, unfortunately...

    Hidden Chests should get a better chance at getting Mature eggs, this way, players with limited time could still have a decent chance at getting one of the new Dragon mounts.

    Instead, there is players who report having gone through thousands of Hidden Chests and no Mature egg has shown up for them... something here looks to be broken, it looks to me, if Hidden Chests are supposed to indeed be able to spawn a Mature egg as I understand...

    It's not even november and the temporary heretic event ends in february.


    If I were BS.. right now.. I would remove the mature eggs from the hidden chest bribe loot table.. If u want them go do nests or matriarch.

    With the other hands I would boost the drop chances in Felucca.

    That's fine for active shards but on Legends we are lucky if we see the Matriarch once in a day... no enough players doing chest if even any besides myself... I've been doing chest and maps all day since it released and I've seen 0 mature eggs, starting to get frustrating.

    @sylph Were you the one running the manifestation of Evil?

    PS: for the balancing of Heretic event i've give my take already.

    TL;DR it's meant to be NL events.. they do them on prodo (for now) the goal is to do them on NL as an extraction shard.. or they would have already balance some obvious stuff by now. (ATL it dies in 5sec and dead shard can barely do them sometimes.. if not on prime time)

    Consider this event on NL.. and consider the fact the studio is ready to apply the TOS on their baby server. (no more 5 seconds lag fest)

    I can understand where you are coming from and at that rate you will probably never get a mature egg from the matriarch (I've done 25+ matriarchs with multiple accounts and still no mature egg). That said, the mature eggs also spawn in the hidden chest & nests so there are other ways to try for them.

    I think the biggest question I'd have for @Community Manager would be what the drop rate of mature eggs is for nests vs. matriarch vs. hidden chests. Is it all the same (ie 1% chance) or does it vary between the 3 ways of going for a mature egg.

    @keven2002 We have an answer in words not in stats for everything except the matriarch.

    Hidden chest, very very rare.. nest 3 very rare, nest 4-5 rare (luck affect those results)
    Read stuff like the patch notes..
