    Snurble Flies...

    • Absolutely ridiculous to have to kill a R51-60+ mob to get materials for a R21 lure.
    • Even more ridiculous that the creature in question (Phurble/Snurble) is a lottery spawn (AKA you need to kill placeholders to spawn them) and then have an absolutely pitiful drop rate when you finally get one. (Example, killed around 250 mobs in a Snurble cave, only about two dozen Snurbles popped and only ONE of them dropped a tuft...ONE!)

    I would love to get a dev or community rep comment on this, though I doubt we will. But I really hope you will finally get this addressed in patch 1.19

    This has annoyed many a fisher for a long time and its time you fix this. When you consider that this is a consumable item, the amount of effort to get these only to have a fair chance at losing them is ridiculous.
    • Snurbles should be a much lower ranked mob than they are.
    • Snurbles should drop their tufts as often as a mob would drop feathers at the very least.

    Wife got hers from doing R20 leves instead of crafting after several wasted hours trying to farm snurbles. Would think this is the better way to go.

    Right, its a better way to go, but you should still be able to make these with alot less hassle than it currently takes.

    Uh snurble flies the bane of my R20ish fishing existance... so happy I'm past them now. Please fix this. If its going to be a very high rank mob to kill, atleast make the lure a R50 lure or something.

    Looks like Snurble flies will finally be easily obtainable with 1.19. Other recipes are going to be using tufts so I expect the rate of drop, the rate of snurble spawns and locations to increase alot. If this happens it just goes to show though that we had to wait for other recipes to be implemented to make the problem worth fixing >.<
