Hopefully there is something im missing here, maybe somebody can help? Ive been trying to farm Ionized Minnows in mechagon the last several days. (I hadn’t been out there in a while.) My usual method was to request the vaccum from Danielle and collect about 1k at a time. Then come back out as needed and repeat.
Requesting the vacuum is generally what spawned the pools from my experience, but now theres nothing. (Thats not true, ive seen exactly 1 spawn right next to her.)
Can anybody tell me whats going on with this?
Edit: Okay, so minutes after posting this (of course) they have spawned again. So… Disregard I guess. I had to sit in the area for a while to finally see them. Dunno what the issue was.
It also helps if you have tracking turned on for fish pools. Then go from the quest giver out over to the island.
Thanks.
I ended up getting what I needed but the pools seem to spawn much slower and it seems like there are less overall. Not too bad when I was alone, but as soon as somebody else started farming them too, forget about it.
I think the reason I wasnt seeing them originally is because there just werent any availible. There had been several other people out there with vacuums at the time.
Seems like a nerf. Which I sorta understand. You could get 1k in 15 or 20 minutes. Now it takes about an hour.
Still a lot faster than farming rubbery flanks and etc. Good enough reason to increase the price of Big Mechs too.
