TOPIC | Is scavenging even worth it?
I've put all my actions into it for about 2 months now. Not a singular. Has someone managed to estimate drop chances?

Due to the very small number of gathering turns per day it's virtually impossible to get enough data (given the various levels) to determine drop rates. I've seen a few attempts at it through the years but they generally die before getting anywhere near enough data for statistical averages.

Since Scavenging has the chance of unhatched elemental eggs Scavenging is the most heavily used skill. That means all the other Scavenging drops are worth even less because there's so many people trying to get eggs.

I pretty much stopped Scavenging more than a couple times a month if that since I maxed out. It's almost always cheaper to just buy what I want from people.

If you're trying specifically for eggs I'd suggest heading to the AH and buying them from people luckier than you. I average 4-5 eggs a month from the coli while at the same time I'm making around 9 million a month from train/exalting dragons. 9 million buys a heck of a lot of eggs.

Mire Flyer build

The rest of that guide has other builds for different venues and farming. All are designed to be (on average) the best balance between speed and survivability.

Hope this helps!

I want to live in Theory. Everything works there.

Have you checked the Gem MP for Gene and Breed scrolls before buying an AH listing from me ending in 5g?

[/quote] Thank you for responding. Fodder training probably won't be a viable option for me, since the connection is so poor here I can barely run the Coliseum. Even with a good Data plan. I'll just try for food drops with turns, since most of my dragons eat bugs anyway.
