In that sense I think the reward is already there in the forum of the extra stuff you can hunt. But expecting to forage better minerals/plants/etc is just silly, especially given the future change coming for purity. I can totally get behind the more danger thing though

Currently- generally- nodes are worse in darkness. I've wandered enough to know. On the other hand there are a few very high quality spots. Likely better than what's in non-darkness. "Diamonds in the rough" so to speak...and just as hard to find.
Just today I found another 9% lime spot: salt 47.51 (modest size and same throughout), lead 19.14, sulpher 18.43, merc 18.99
Not giving out the exact darkness... not building a Bell on this one... not yet.
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5685&hilit=purity+nodesWith the introduction of varying purity fields for forageables, there was no particular mention in the initial implementation that they should improve going deeper in the darkness, is what i meant when i said the darkness wasn't intended to be some place where you got 20% pure nodes every other minute.
And even if it were intended to be that, the fact that you still recently found a node you'd not seen before, even if only modest lime, means you can't make any sort of comparison between darkness nodes and non-dark ones as it's impossible for anyone to have all of the data ever except if JC ever makes a tool that shows the peaks over 48 in value or something for himself to see.
Exactly 6.022 x 10^23 worth of Lach molecules.
