One of the funniest things from coming back after not being in the game for 10+ years is that Koi Fish feel really rare now
Like I passed over them so much back in the day, and now I’m having a hard time to get four for the Mordecai quest!! Also my luck with genders has been terrible - one male out of all my eggs and purchases and I was silly and used him to make a Capricorn
Anyone else having a hard time getting older creatures now there’s so many other stream creatures? What’s your struggle to get?

Re: Koi Fishes, Where Thou Art Thou?!
Winged cats have been the bane of my existence most recently i was hunting eggs to freeze for my collection and it took weeks of stream cleaning to finally catch one. To be fair though they are listed as rare so i was expecting it.
I've seen quite a few koi personally (one of the reasons i switched my element back from water to neutral is i kept hatching them too fast to get frozen low % hatchlings )

Re: Koi Fishes, Where Thou Art Thou?!
Ahhh I’ve seen a few of the kitties I think, but it’s not a focus for me *just* yet - we’ll see how I do when I do look at themfalsanthin wrote: ↑April 27th, 2024, 3:08:18 pm Winged cats have been the bane of my existence most recently i was hunting eggs to freeze for my collection and it took weeks of stream cleaning to finally catch one.

I think I’ve seen like two or three Kois myself? I’ve literally frozen eggs I was less concerned about when I’ve seen them
(Also I do need to remember to grab foxes to actually get an element!)
Re: Koi Fishes, Where Thou Art Thou?!
It's definitely slower to find specific stream only eggs with more creatures - at least, it feels that way.
I wonder if the Koi (and Ouranian Koi) are rarer now partly due to increased demand from the achievements.

Re: Koi Fishes, Where Thou Art Thou?!
That’s a good point. I was going to start breeding mine, but alas all my Ouranian Koi are male atm and I have a grand total of one male Koi Fish I’ll get there eventually. Just extra annoying as I’m I was gunning for the Emerald Wyvern anyway and now it’s a higher priority!

Re: Koi Fishes, Where Thou Art Thou?!
Yep. I made a post myself not long ago in the Help/Suggestions thread. I think something needs recalibrated. “Very common” shows up less than “rare” at times. It took me streaming cleaning over 50 creatures to get two “very common” kraken.
One thing I think would help: those creatures that show up in tributaries should not show up in the main stream at all.

Re: Koi Fishes, Where Thou Art Thou?!
I like that. Or even a new tributary like "Ancestral Stream Preserve" that is a tributary only for the first 100 released Stream creatures (from Koi Fish to Lakiran Platypus) set up on the map above where the Stream is near the little hut.Airasyraye wrote: ↑April 27th, 2024, 5:04:24 pm Yep.

That actually sounds so nostalgic now that I've written it out

Re: Koi Fishes, Where Thou Art Thou?!
That’s actually a super cool idea! I think I prefer the idea of an “Ancestral Stream”, it could maybe be accessible via a quest? That feels like a cool idea to me.TheTreeTurtle wrote: ↑April 27th, 2024, 5:19:43 pmI like that.

I definitely think it makes sense to have the stream have *all* available creatures, and the tributaries are just distilled areas for each subsection.

Re: Koi Fishes, Where Thou Art Thou?!
I'd love this personally. At the moment there are 67 main stream only creatures if you don't count limited events and seasonal creatures like the snow hares. So the main stream could be its own region and still have more creature variety than the most varied tributary (The mountain pass having the most at 50 different creatures, everlight crevasse being the lowest at 19 creature species) -if my counts are right anyway-Airasyraye wrote: ↑April 27th, 2024, 5:04:24 pm One thing I think would help: those creatures that show up in tributaries should not show up in the main stream at all.
Even if this is not possible i would at least like to see some of the main stream creatures being spread out to different tributaries so at least that way there is still more of a chance of coming across them. I understand if thats not possible due to creature location/lore reasons though (Eg. lakiran platypus and lakiran seahorses being from the lake)
Also not demanding anything here either just incase what i've said has come across that way. Its more of a it would be cool if type suggestion I know the site has other higher priority things like gold issues to deal with first

Honestly I’m surprised this got a few people’s eyes on it and it’s not just me being a boring old adult struggling to find thingsfalsanthin wrote: ↑April 27th, 2024, 6:04:53 pm Also not demanding anything here either just incase what i've said has come across that way its more of a it would be cool if type suggestion I know the site has other higher priority things like gold issues to deal with first
