Where did all the butterflies go?

Groddle butterflies seem to be under threat of extinction all of a sudden. Time was you couldn't move for the flibberty little pretties, and now they're as rare as walloping big diamonds.

  • My guess - people arn't at the high enough skill level needed to make them and complete some quests. Give it time, I am sure they will be back.

  • It's weird, because there was an abundance yesterday....maybe they all died already?

  • yeah, I was just hunting for some.

    The ones in residential blocks seem to have survived.

  • I expect the Groddle ones will have been wiped out from everyone miling for the quest and few people are at a point where they can create more.

    I found some in some housing quarters, otherwise it's a case of having ot lok further afield, spotted some in the ancestral lands

  • Well, there was a reset!  Imagine the crowd of noob glitches tryin to get butterflies.  We probably squished them all ;)

    I'm guessing since nobody had the skills to hatch more butterflies they "ascended" and couldn't be replaced

  • After mining my next focus is animal kinship! I will rebuild myself a piggy and butterfly army! An army of evil cuteness!!!

  • Ancestral lands = tons of butterflies.

  • It's a pain for those of us focusing on cooking.  So many recipes call for milk, butter, cheese and suddenly you can go out gathering supplies and only see one or two butterflies in an entire walkabout.  I hope they repopulate soon!

  • Unfortunately, the game isnt realyy at a state where cooking is very profitable as "a career". Everybody has those skills and few recipes really offer much advantage. All the real profit comes from harvesting, animals, and mining. So being a chef without focusing on food gathering skills and animal raising skills won't do much, especially in the early game.

  • The devs might abuse their powers and repopulate if you're lucky!

  • I saw a lot more butterflies out in Bortola and the outer regions. If you're up for a little travel, I easily found enough to complete all my entry quests for massages, milks and such. Good Luck All!
    Little by little they're coming back

  • Wrendolin, thanks for the tip. I have so many to massage and couldn't find more than three!

  • Touche! as well, the currants - much harder to find unearned cash! They're higher up the trees and farther in the leaps.  Free money ain't what it used to be (here).   :) but I still love this game!
