TRIBAL BERRIES : What is the point of having it so much time consuming to get ?
I frankly do not understand why it might be so much time consuming to get Tribal Berries....
I had a Cooking Bulk Order Deed requiring 20 Savage Kin Paints and, of course, since the place to find them is on Savages, I HAD TO go kill Savages to get them....
Well, in order to get 20 Tribal Berries I had to spend time to kill some 130+ Savages....
Like an average of 1 in 6 or even 7 kills to find a Tribal Berry....
Of course, this took considerable time.
Since there is basically no real use for Tribal Berries other the a pretty much useless Savage Kin Paint and the "I think I Overate" Quest from Pepta the Royal Tastetester which gives a pretty much useless Satiety Cure potion, I wonder what is the point of maintaining it so much time consuming to get Tribal Berries that are needed for Cooking Bulk Order Deeds...
Perhaps it is possible to make them 1 Kill = 1 Tribal Berry ?
And also, perhaps, create a Plant which players can grow which actually produces Tribal Berries ?

Farm mine in the shaman hut in the Ilshenar Savage Camp, up to three spawn and can take down within 10 seconds.
if you don't like getting them, then you can always trade the BOD to other people. Or place them on a vendor...
And I believe the last time we did do this, every female we killed, had 1 tribal berry on them
That's not my point....
My point is that I do not understand the logic behind making Tribal Berries so much time consuming to get....
I mean, they are nowhere near overpowering or giving any edge to players at all....
The biggest thing they are used to make is Tribal Kin Paint which hardly anyone uses.....
Even the blue lobster pie mentioned by @Petra_Fyde is hardly used by players considering the much limited buff that it gives to a character (it absorbs, to my understanding, a "whopping" only 5 points of Cold damage for 5 minutes....).
Therefore, if Tribal berries do not give anything of any significant power at all, "why" make them so much time consuming to get as if they were to give who knows what boost ??
This is what I do not understand.... it does not look balanced out in what Tribal Berries "give" and how much time they take to be found....
Never be afraid to challenge the status quo
Tribal Berries are not such an overpowering item that requires exceptional scarcity....
They are mostly used for Cooking BODs now that Savage Kin Paint is not much used any longer....
So, why not make Tribal Berries more common ?
