Crafting Requirements for Sunrise Apothic should be changed

I disagree. What needs to be done instead is put the Vestan Moss in more tiles on the asteroid tileset. It's pretty clear that it's just missing from a lot of tiles it would make sense for it to be in, compared to all the other plants. It should be pretty common, on all the cave walls and such. In any case, it's not that bad anyway.

So far I found two tiles with rocks where I didn't find any.

Anyway, 3rd run: 14moss (and some Oxium, on an infested grineer tileset, heh), bit more detailed writeup (hope the rooms are clear from the shots):

1) This room (where you often spawn) I found two moss, every time.

2) One moss in this room (near my position)

3) One in this room

4) This room has two (iirc)

5) In this room I didn't find any (though the amount of exposed rock surface here is kinda limited)

6) This room had two

7) This huge room with all the walkways and *lots* of rock surprised me because I couldn't find any

8) None in this room either

9) This room had one

Hope I didn't miss screenshotting any rooms, will do another few runs and if I come across more rooms with Moss I'll add them. Note that these are the ones I found, I might have missed some, of course.

Fix numbering

Another run: 20 Moss
 

10) Spawn room, contained 2 moss

11) Big elevator room: 2 moss (can even see one in the screenshot, the other one was to my left iirc)

12) One moss in this room (basically straight ahead from where I stand)

13) One moss in this "dead end" tile (visible in the screenshot)

14) One in this loot room (behind the rubble to the right)

15) Two in this high room (one under the bridge behind me, the other under the walkways in front of me)

16) one in this corridor

17) None in this corridor, while the floor does look like rock the room doesn't really qualify imho

18) One in the "exit" room

Result: best run yet (for moss, anyway ;))

Basically very few tiles in that tileset contain no Moss, certainly compared to the Frostleaf.

So far the "score" for 4 runs is 19, 15, 14 and 20 for an average of 17.5 per mission (though 4 missions is hardly a representative sample size...).

Look at the amount of Vestan Moss I found at M Prime in just one round.

God, you just only have to do 2-3 runs on Lv.7-9 Infested Exterminate mission.

Have a patience man.

 

Sorry for some grammatical mistakes.

They were set on purpose, so why exactly would they change them. Again, I scanned 7 in one run and I had to traverse a lot of tiles, but I only stopped on the ones I know (for sure) they have moss, and found 7. The "entry" tile had one for goodness sake, and most have 2 at the time.

You ASSUME they were set like this on purpose. It is entirely possible that a mistake was made and values got swapped, making the OP's point entirely valid

Nope, testing has kinda made it pretty clear to me that the likelyhood of getting no Moss at all is very very low.

As I promised, I did 5 runs (well, I did 3 extra runs on top of the initial one) and my last run was pretty bad (lots of rooms without rocks), I *still* ended up with 14 Moss

So the amounts of Moss for this trial run were: 19,15, 14, 20, 14

This is, of course, with a fully upgraded scanner. So while it is *possible* that someone out there got really really unlucky it seems much more likely that they either:

• don't have an upgraded scanner
• missed a bunch

Mind enlightening the rest of us where you managed these feats? I am on hour 3, I have 5. So yes, it should be changed because this is tedious, and boring wandering around looking at rocks. Space Ninjas FTW! Check out these 25 rocks I found with moss on them.

Please, if you found somewhere awesome, share with the class, otherwise, don't be so disparaging to people who provide their honest input which DE is constantly asking for.

 

3 hours and you have 5 what? moss? Moss drops about 10-15 per mission on the missions it is found it (not spoiling). You just have to do the whole mission looking through you scanner... are you not searching with the scanner up and trying to find it visually? If so that's your issue. it GLOWS on the scanner. Take an ember so you can just walk around and not fight much  and just waltz through tthe mission with your scanner up (quick melee wihen you have to kill things).
