What do you think of the current Archaeology Tool Progression?

[Razorflamekun]

I currently think that Aranite Brushes need to be moved from Rare to Uncommon.

Also, already knowing that I'm going to have to do a lot of excavations for all of the Ancient Tools and even more for the Relic Tools is a little bit off-putting to me, especially considering the fact that the Ancient Tools are all Very Rare and the Relic Tools are all Legendary.

For those that don't know the weights of each item in Archaeology:

Commons are weighted 1500.
Uncommons are weighted 500.
Rares are weighted 18.
Very Rares are weighted 4.
Legendaries are weighted 1.

I'm not sure if 1500 is the base weight that everything else is based off of, but if it is, that would mean the following base chances:

Common: ~66.68%
Uncommon: ~33.3%
Rare: ~0.012%
Very Rare: ~0.0027%
Legendary: ~0.00067%

I don't really know, but these numbers don't seem right to me. Hopefully, we can get the actual odds when the Wiki updates with them.

Having a "soft gate" is fine but the # needed to update is way too high (cut it by 70%). It halts progression needlessly.

Also can you provide the locations of:


Ancient Trowel - ?
Ancient Sieve - ?
Ancient Brush - Forge - Medium
Ancient Shovel - ?

They're all at the same location.

it definitely needs work. I agree it should be lower in amount and or lower rarity. Also fix the odds of getting rarer artifacts

Those are all the "Base" rates though, before calculating buffs and refinements,

[Razorflamekun]

Yes, they are all base rates, but it helps give a basis upon which you can calculate stuff.

Speaking of which, the Wiki has been updated with the actual chances of finding specific items.
