Does essence of Rubeweed make the Rube come for you?

As in, will it make him appear? Or can you only use it to lure him to you when he is already on the screen and just there for someone else. I tried using it in the former manner the other day, but he did not appear. Has anyone used it successfully?

  • yes, he appears instantly , there is a glitch though where sometimes bluff disappears and he doesn't come, staff are trying to fix it

  • It made him appear when I used it.  If you try it in an area where he can't appear then you get a warning message.

  • Okay, so then it was just a bug when I used it the other day and he didn't come and the buff went away super fast. Gotcha!

  • And on a related note: is the rube still giving dolls?

  • @La_La - Nope, that was a bug, and was fixed. (sadly...I want one of those dolls...)

  • @Whym no it was confirmed 2 hours ago by a staff ""Indeed, the Rube was trading dolls for a day, then stopped, and now is back at it again. However, be advised: the dolls are *very* rare!"

  • @Whym ik I was stoked when I saw it! I think they messed up and made them appear TOO frequently, now as said they are VERY rare to get

  • how much difference does it make from just munching a rubeweed flower?

  • The Essence (when it's not buggy) brings the Rube right to you, as long as you're in a public place.

  • Usually instantly.  Only one time did I have to move a couple of screens before it worked.

  • Has anyone tried using essence of Rubeweed in Hell?

  • Treesa, munching a rubeweed flower will get you a higher percentage of better drops from things like nostalgia area sand traps and mining. It does not affect your chance of getting the Rube to show up.
