Fortune Carrots in OC

[CCheshire]

Honestly, I'm not going for the title unless the Fate carrots drop in value ALOT.

So I wanted to try it once, and I bought one for 1.5m, which brought me to a chest full of old materia and ribbons. I mean, not even like a 60k mount or good materia, too, along with a mere 200k.

I found 4 so far on 118 chests. Used the first one, sold the others. Don’t care about a title that is an indication of OCD (and SE should not encourage that).

Theres healthy long-term achievements you would get by simply playing and then theres this, where you would have to hyper focus a specific kind of piece within a piece.

I have been in OC since the content has been out, and I open up chests pretty frequently. I have gotten 4 naturally, and got a 5th one off the market board (someone messed up their offer).
You're better off just selling the carrot to a viera player who wants the achievement. There are other achievements in the game that are long term efforts, but none of them require both a time commitment and literal billions of gil to do. Doing it "naturally", even accounting for the fact this will probably also be done in North Horn, will take you thousands of hours at the drop rate. (And you have to actually do the content to respawn chests) And the rewards in the chest are most of the time not even worth it.

I have gotten quite a few carrots, 6 or 7, on the road to 20. But none of them have yielded anything outside of fireworks and materia. Unfortunately with these sorts of drop rates and the fact that (as far as I know anyway) you need to participate in CE and fates to get chests to spawn to begin with, there is no real reason to go back into OC now that I got my demimateria. Cause fate farming, whether they wanna gussy them up by calling them CE or not, is just not a type of content that appeals to me in the slightest. Especially with this sort of lackluster reward system.

Not just carrots, but most of the achievements seem too much.

1000 happy bunnies
1000 persistent pots
5000 normal chests

does SE think this is reasonable?

the CE/fate ones are fine
I'm not sure about 100 Forked Tower as I haven't been in there but that seems fine too

(not nearly as important but I find it funny they're all 5 achievement points each)

the achievements will be relevant until 8.0, they also carry over to the next zone in a few months. I dont think it will be a big deal to finish them until this expansion ends. There are faaaar "worse" achievements in this game, when it comes to time investment. Those are easy and you can finish all of them at once. Only the bunny one is dumb, but could also be finished fairly quick if you invest enough gil

Just because there exists something worse doesn't make it any less bad. They set an arbitrary number of 5000 chests that only spawn after you've done FATEs/CEs. Pot FATEs don't spawn as often and you have to actually get to the location afterwards.
Really arguing that it'll take 200 hours instead of 1000 when neither are acceptable.

The 5000 chests is actually pretty doable, considering it's probably obtainable in North Horn when that's out as well. Just grabbing chests randomly I'm near the 1k mark.
The pot one is a bit worse, but doable if you were to focus solely on doing them.
Funny thing is the one you posted saying "seems fine" is probably one of the bigger "what the..." achievements in the list. Both BA and DRS only go up to a "complete 10 times" achievement, which is perfectly reasonable. With how FT is set up, even 10 is a rough ask, but doable... But 100???

They should put Fortune Carrots on the Rewards Roulettes in Cosmic Exploration, would create an interesting synergy between Cosmic Exploration and Occult Crescent
