Fortune Carrots in OC

[Yourdooooom]

Is anyone having any luck on getting these to drop or is there some method to the madness? My personal luck has been 1 in 130 Chests (sample size of one so?). Unluckly I find myself trying to grind achievements and at my current rate that would take me a WHOPPING 5+ YEARS of active grinding to get the Where Rabbits Roam IV for 1000 carrots. I find that... a bit crazy that this would be the hardest achievement in the game but hey maybe my lucks just that bad. Only asking because it seems in all my instances no one claims to have gotten more then 1 total.

I got one, but I wasn't even trying. I highly doubt this achievement would take five years if you were actively grinding for it on the regular.

The OC has barely been out for three days, and they will likely tweak drop rates for everything in future patches/hotfixes.

Unless they tweak the rates, yes it will take 5 years.
I've spent a good portion of my time opening chests and as others have mentioned it has a droprate of 1% (my own data size is 1000 opened with 11 carrots).
At 1%, and 1 bronze every 10 minutes non-stop, it would take you about 2 years to get it (assuming you open 100 000 chests to get 1000 carrots (1%)). 5 years if you do nothing but play this game, eat food, do minimal exercise to not die, sleep is a reasonable estimate.


I think 5000 chests opened is reasonable.
I think even 1000 pots, even if quite mind-numbingly slow is feasible if terribly boring (though I'd much prefer 100 pots as a reasonable number, I could see people getting to 1000 solo)
But 100000 chests opened, if you don't just buy the carrots?
Really?

Level Freelancer to 10 and your rates should go up significantly if you’re searching for chests thoroughly using the Freelancer’s Lv 10 Phantom Action.

To jump into this convo, now that it has been a full week of it being released. I found a Fortune Carrot on my first day, second hour. I have since opened over 200 coffers, and have never seen another one. All I hear in instances is the laments that these things do not exist.

Level 10 Freelancer won't help either, as it only tells you how many chests are on the map. Not where, not how close, nothing useful. There are player generated maps that show each coffer location, and you best bet people are constantly trying to even get one.

I've had two carrots after opening 100-something chests. Ended up selling the second one for just shy of 1.5 million Gil.

the carrot droprate is 1%, confirmed by 130k opened bronze chests. The only way of getting the title is to buy the carrots from the marketboard and spend 2b gil on it

having the lvl 10 freelancer skill doesnt fix anything of it

Playing since it release, 2 hours a day during week day and up to 6 hrs on weekend.
I actively search for coffee between CE, so far have only found 1 carrot.

Even if you spent 1.5 ~ 2 billion gil on all the carrots it will take a few hundred hours running around actually hunting down the carrot spawns to USE the item on as well. Game just disrespects.

i dont think it would take that long. They have fix spots that you just circle around and often enough people shout positions in the chat aswell.
