Rare Items

So I have a question: For a couple of days my friends have been grinding like crazy and they have not found any rare items. I know its meant to be RARE to find them but no geodes, spider eggs, pearls, etc. from hundreds of boulders, spiders and all those things.
Is it intended the lower drop rate or is it a bug?
Let me know if anyone else has had bad luck with these items.

I got four geodes the day before yesterday, but then again I burned off around 75kg of roasted fish while I was mining. Guessing around 200 boulders.

I've gotten three pearls in the last few days from roughly 300 0% oysters. I got them while farming hundreds of lards for another wall.

Yeah normal pearl has always been quite common. I have found earlier much more egg sacs, lobster claws and black pearls but now just none. Many times i got 3 sacs out of 200 spiders and at least 1 black pearl our of 100 smoked oysters. Today i boiled 350 spiders and didn't get any. Maybe i have been lucky earlier or just now i have bad luck.

Stop whining, I doubt there has been a change in their difficulty.

I recently restarted on popham and find rare stuff all the time. Have you tested your hidden luck skill? Try on a different characters and see what happens

Back to topic:

It seems really a "personal lucky skill" of toons and day mood.
More days i found not a single Sterling Geode, yesterday 3.
Some of my Toons find more foraging rares than other.
But i guess, it's only a summary of daily mood and doing while the "random roll" is performed.
The only cause that i have discussed it with Irving was, that i have started to notice while the first Bloodmoon with Amethyst search.
I had the feeling i found less godes than normal.
Personally bad luck maybe.
But who knows, maybe JC has twisted on chances a little bit... who knows. ;)
