This change really confused people lol. People just hate change. The old guys at my job get mad when software is updated and instead of clicking button A they now have to click button B lmao.
Let’s be real. They did us a favor this year and the changes were made simply for consistency. We got a bunch of new block recipes, most requiring bonding agents. You need orbs for bonding agents. They changed the event so we get more orbs while farming for the event items. Fungus drops orbs so it makes sense to change the seeds to orbs.
The seeds from last year converted to orbs just to put everyone on a level playing field. If they didn’t convert the seeds to orbs, the hoarders from last event would have a huge leg up crafting spiders. They still have a leg up, but the gap is much smaller. And that’s probably the main reason people are upset because they can’t flex on everyone else. Sorry someone had to say it
myself i don’t see anything wrong allowing players to keep the seeds form last year. has it has been pointed out many many times…the only pvp in the game is the prestige system so the fact someone has a horde of seeds would have 0 impact on other players but to turn around and force change everyone’s stockpile then have them take a loss on converting it back just gives the impression of “don’t horde any event mats cuz it will be worth less then it is now next year”
This Year
Orbs = Tier 1 material
Seeds = Tier 2 material
If they would have added the orbs as the Tier 2 material then it would not have made sense to plant orbs to make spiders - you plant seeds. Plus all existing seed owners would have missed out on the opportunity to collect the Tier 1 material.
So Last Year’s Tier 1 Seed converted to This Year’s Tier 1 Orb. “New” Tier 2 Seed now needed for planting since you plant seeds not orbs. lol
In the end, nothing was lost or devalued…the recipe system was expanded and just a little confusion with elevating a T1 item. IMHO
I was unhappy at first when I saw it took 10 orbs to make a seed,
but then I realized it took 10 orbs to make 1 pumpkin/skull/doll,
and it also takes 10 orbs to make 1 seed which becomes a spider, so the costs were the same.
I guess they couldn’t or didn’t want to make it so you had to plant 10 seeds to grow a spider.
The spiders do take awhile to grow though.
The time has varied a lot for me, out of 10 I planted, time was from as low as 6 hours, to over 15 hours for the last 2. But it’s ok, I’ll live.
Just so you know, The spider colours don’t always match the trellis colour exactly.
From red trellis I’ve gotten red and vivid red.
From vivid mint trellis I’ve gotten vivid mint and vivid moss.
From white trellis I’ve gotten grey and white.
Variety is the spice of life.
Yeah this is the feeling I’m getting overall. Prestige is inconsistent due that your build may be the one that gets impacted and not others. Who knows until we know right?
With the amount of plants you get the spooky orbs from why is anyone complaining just go out for an hour and collect more orbs you get tons of them now
If you don’t want the orbs bring them by Anterra Central i can start selling spiders in a few hours (for about 200-250c) checking on next batch in a sec. (Seeds are available).
Just keep an eye out on the Anterra Central post on forum and in game (shop channel).
