Conservation in POE and Orb V

[Keogu]

Hey all,

I just recently spent my day running conservation in both Orb V and POE to get the floofs I admittedly never bothered with before now. 

After stocking up on the things I needed I headed out and began hunting. It wasn't too long before I encountered a reoccurring issue. 

- I can never, in all my time doing this, EVER seem to find the uncommon animals at all. -  

I had no problems in either open world getting endless amounts of common animals, and loads of rare ones with the pheromone lure thing. But hardly ever the uncommon ones?

I'm 1 tag away from my last POE floof (Woodland Mergoo) and 1-3 tags off of every uncommon animal in Orb V. 

Can anyone give me some tips or advice? I've spent the last 3 hours alone shuttle running between the Mergoo spots in POE in hopes to find anything but the common and rare variants. 

I understand that this game is largely based around RNG, but this is atrocious for a cute little (mini-game?) mechanic.

Did you use bait or lure all the time?

If so, try stop using them.

Sorry, should've specified this earlier.

I have a resource booster active to cut down the time spent grinding, so I've only ever bought 5 of the bait/lure for each animal as they seem to get me what I need within 3-4.

I haven't used a bait/lure for the Mergoo after I used them all up (I used them before my 3 hour unsuccessful hunt.)

During that period I just called the animal to the location, activated prowl and waited. Every time I got the basic Coastal Mergoo with the exception of one random rare popping in.

Yeah I had the same problem. I have loads of common Floofs and loads of rare Floofs but only 1 of each uncommon. My advice is don't use the lures. All I seemed to get was the rare with these but without I seemed to have a little more luck getting an occasional uncommon. Just persevere!

Well that's weird, maybe the recent patch altered the spawn rate. I am not really sure.

But the eidolon lure and vombs spawn are noticeably different to before-patch so maybe the wild lifes also has something to do with the patch
