That dang Lantern Moth
I've played about 30 hours now and I've noticed that the Lantern Moth spawn rate is very low. So low in fact that while I was waiting to get to the Iron Levels, I made so much money farming and doing other tasks that I just bought Iron ingots from the cart and upgraded all of my tools, sword, and armor. Then I found the moth. Now I have access to the Iron level but, where's the fun in grinding for Iron and upgrading now? It's no big deal but -- I would definitely make that moth easier to get in future updates so as to not be out of sync with the progression of the game.

You can get plenty of them in the first like 20 floors of the mines. I got around 5 or so in just one go.

You say that but I spent 3 hours yesterday specifically trying to farm for it and didn't find a single one. If I had known I'd never see one again, I wouldn't have given the first one to the museum. Seems there might be some world seeds with higher rates or something? But if that's the case, it feels silly to lock progression behind it.

Yeah, no... I've played several hours going back and forth through the mines and have only found one.

Unfortunately, I didn't know how rare it was at the time, and I donated it to the museum. Now that I need one to progress, I haven't found a single one after several attempts over many hours.

I want to echo the same things as other commenters, it took me real life hours of grinding the first floors to find the lantern moth. The drop rate for my world seed at least is extremely, extremely rare.

[UPDATE] After doing a bit of research...
I believe a) lantern moths only spawn at night. And b) the RnG triggers once per day when you enter the mines. That means if you enter the mines too early, the moth will not spawn on that day at all.

I went into the mines AFTER 8PM and found a Lantern Moth within the first 5 levels.
