Final missing lore piece

Would love to hear if anyone found this piece of lore:

Haven't appeared at all through the library after a many many hours and attempts.
Wondering if I was just extremely unlucky or there is more to it. (It looks like the 3rd ghost ship boss lore, but going to that ship didn't yield any results either)

The way the lore drops work in Flinthook, you should eventually be able to see every lore in the game with enough persistence/grinding. That particular lore is quite rare, so you may see duplicates of other more common lore before you encounter this one. It may take a while to find it, but there are no special conditions to finding it. It's not pure random chance, but rather there are a set amount of each lore to give them more or less chance of appearing, and their order of dropping within the game is randomized.

34h and over 200 libraries later still not good enough?
I mean, was there really a point to make this ultra rare? this isn't some korean MMO...

It finally appeared after speeding up the first ship a bunch of times.
I still whole-heartedly disagree with this kind of method, it's the opposite of fun.

I agree with you, the game has some very odd choices made in favor of grinding. Considering there is no basis for rarity in the game, and no relic is particularly presented to be any more rare than the others, it makes no sense for certain relics or lore to be rarer than others. There are no values to distinguish between, no unique scenarios for rarer ones, so it comes off pointless to have certain things harder to obtain than others.

That, combined with some of the higher priced items in the Black Market, which regardless of your game progress require a fair amount of grinding just to obtain, is a bit odd too. I understand that they're supposed to be harder to obtain in the shop, and therefore are more expensive as a result, but considering the only way to get tokens for the shop is to beat levels or get lucky and find them in chests rarely, it becomes a chore.

Overall this game is a lot of fun, but grinding choices like these definitely take away from that.
