obviously bcos people searching for amethyst

what is this amethyst you speak of ?

[jcwilk]

I just chipped 5k rubble, so to give you an idea:
1 amethyst
7 geodes
10 whetstones

Seems I was pretty unlucky on geodes though. I definitely remember them being more common than this.

Yeah I think I get maybe 1 geode every 500 rubble, maybe slightly more.

It seems even geode drop chance is more bad than normal.
It feels like getting less geodes at all...
6h of chipping boulders at 2 Toons.... 8 Geodes, no Amethyst.
No clue how many rubble, granite, stones, ore i have chipped in summary, but it was much.
This dropchance is very very bad if we get it only at bloodmoon.
*sigh*
This game turns into a bigger grind game than before.
Not really a good way.

i "kinda" agree, but hey they are ONLY used for Metal Walls and are ONLY good for defending your townbell (if u dont have 1000s of steel) so u would need max 1-2 anyway, and bloodmoon holds 10+ hours i suppose so a town of 3+ ppl shouldnt have a problem finding atleast one.

Didn't chip that much, but have had no luck either.
After all, it's at most 50k for one in the kings stall!
And likely much less if a player sells it, someone's got to be lucky.
Rare/expensive it is, for a lone player, but for a dedicated group that is quite doable I'd say, just dont ever make an iron wall with more than the 5 absolutely needed starter/corner-posts.

also, i ḿ guessing we'll need one amethyst per cornerpost, not just for the initial one. In which case you will still need 6-10 to protect your bell.
My goal is to get one or two every bloodmoon until I have my bell protected.
FFR, it's possible to stock up on rubble boulders prior to the bloodmoon: all of the boulders I chipped were mined before the bloodmoon.

Do boulders need to be chipped outside, in the light of the moon, or can they be chipped inside too?
