Amethyst is very rng dependent, and it feels weird how many goals revolve around it and the spyglass.

335

Maybe only include amethyst related goals if there’s an ocean exposed geode near spawn?

plushielast week

I agree caving for one is very rng

Petilast week

It´s not that much, like what 1/2 per game? Sometimes none

"obtain smooth basalt" could be a better alternative to "obtain amethyst block"

I think those goals will just get filtered out once more different goals are added

I'm downvoting only cuz I like the spyglass and it's goals

Vapcrlast week

I agree. If I’m already picking mining-adjacent goals, I don’t mind a spyglass. And rarely are you going to have a seed with no ocean. There are many other objectives in the rotation rn that I’d rather see removed

I love spyglass goals personally

Coreybirdolast week

but I agree if spyglass goals and geode goals aren’t in the same goal group that they should be

Coreybirdolast week

amethyst block + tinted glass + 2 spyglass goals would be insane

Tacomonsterlast week

this is actually a really good idea

I like the variety of the spyglass goals because they're quite cool but the main difficulty is basically RNG/long ocean exploration to find amethyst

blanket addictlast week

if it were possible to have like the "spy on 10-25 mobs" be one goal instead of 4 and to have "spy on brute/enderman/iron golem" be 1 goal instead of 3, and both of them just randomize the number of unique mobs to spy on or which specific mob you have to spy on, that'd be good

blanket addictlast week

but as is there's a weirdly high number of goals that all play the same and it's one of the heavier RNG goals at that

blanket addictlast week

I like this idea

blanket addictlast week

I also think that the tinted glass goal could just be removed

Coreybirdolast week

no pls I love tinted glass

muttonfishlast week

I once found an amethyst without enough amethyst for tinted glass and lost it to that

muttonfishlast week

I kinda like the goals that force you to learn new version stuff, but maybe they could be cycled out when new updates come

muttonfishlast week

I agree 5(?) spyglass/7 geode is too much though

Bompkinlast week

I hate spyglass goals

Bompkinlast week

+1 all the way

Coreybirdolast week

They definitely upped it since closed beta though, idk if they increased random tick speed before the game or what

muttonfishlast week

That’s good to hear! I think I just got unusually unlucky (and I should’ve mined out more spawning spaces)

Tacomonsterlast week

was gonna say like 5 types of glass could work of normal glass, stained glass, glass pane, stained glass pane, and tinted glass, but the dyes kinda make it weird

8 spyglass 10 geode

blanket addictlast week

and rowl said it's capped at 2 spyglass goals on a board

muttonfishlast week

that's not too bad then, I dunno if we need to spyglass golem AND enderman AND brute though

blanket addictlast week(edited)

I think it's more just weird that it's represented so hard especially when it's pretty RNG dependent and usually a late game goal

blanket addictlast week(edited)

in terms of gameplay it's kinda similar to if "kill witch" was a goal 50% of the time

Tacomonsterlast week

its not that bad when you have a decent ocean

Tacomonsterlast week

but it is just rng
