Prosperity Tools

This topic my have all ready been discussed, if so could some point me to it, I searched but didn't find anything.

I noticed in between R26 and R27 that my gathering Prosperity Tools switched from a 3% success chance to a 3% Meticulous collection chance. Now even though there description changed they still gave a 3% success chance.
I also noticed they changed the Item description on the Add on store page.
What I'm wondering is will these tools continue to always give a 3% success chance, or is that going away and were stuck with 3% Meticulous gathering chance?

70.00 for Success chance is definitely worth it, (reduces the number of fails, and wasted time I would of paid 100.00 lol)
70.00 For meticulous collection chance, total rip off. (ill just level it up)

 

oh, it's worse than that. now that agriculture has been removed, what does a hoe of prosperity do other than not break?

 

stands quietly in an alleyway, hiding from the town guards, while making you gold along the way?

hm.. was it entirely removed, or was it yanked to rebuild it from the ground up?

 

Agriculture is a big deal to a bunch of folks, Devs included. I didn't see that it was removed anywhere. Did I just miss a patch note somewhere?

 

Can't remember where they said it, probably in release notes or a hangout, or both. But yes, agriculture percentage chance was removed. Instead there is a "player skill" that takes the place. You have to know when to water something, for example.

That's a great question.

Just to be clear for anyone that might be confused by this. Agriculture is still in the game, but it's not using stats to calculate success rates. Player skill in planting stuff determines success now.

 

Plus there is no meticulous gathering for agriculture, so any bonus applied by the schmancy Hoe would be null.

 

Please, it's called the Hoe of Prosperity. @Budner

Let's not demean it's name or it will lose it's meaning.

 

How about "overpriced artisan hoe" ... because that is all it is at this point.

 

There is still a critical success chance involved with agriculture, where you get extra materials or seeds or something.

 

To be honest, I am a bit disappointed with the handling of agriculture so far. It is simply a clickfest. I really hope it gets some attention eventually.

 

I'm really up set that they completely changed the meaning of a tool that #1 I paid cash for, #2 they did it with out telling us, #3 we haven't heard anything about it.
May be we will secretly keep the +3% success chance, in witch case Ill be all Happy.

 

If you are really and truly upset, melt down the item (convert to credits) on your account page. Problem solved.

 

A good idea, but alas doesn't really work since the prosperity tools were sold as sets. Some of the other tools in the sets work properly.

 

is this a permanent thing, temporary thing? is it up for speculation and assumptions?

 

To answer the original question since this seems to have derailed with the very first response, prosperity tools were advertised as giving both increased chance to harvest AND increased yield. So they should have both gathering success and meticulous collection.

Obviously, as stated above, the hoe isn't going to work that way, unless they change agriculture back to work like other resource gathering.

 

The Hoe of Prosperity needs to be reworked to beneficial, I was planning to use it often..... Farming is a big deal to many of us.

 

100% this. Agriculture was one of the things I was most looking forward to.

 

I have a whole town geared towards it. Will keep the faith and remain confident that things will turn out well. Would be nice to have heard about this from the developers. I guess things slip through the cracks sometimes...

 

Uhuh I spent quite a bit in the store geared towards agriculture. Hope they don't decide to leave it the way it is.

 

I would suggest tuning into the telethon on Monday (tomorrow) at 4:30 PM CDT. They have a good hour to hour and a half slotted to discuss plans for crafting, agriculture and economy. Hopefully they will give us more details about these tools (I asked this very same question on the update comments) and future plans for agriculture in general.
