Re: Fossoil Digging Tips

Well, taking the conversation back to digging tips, I found out something by pure fluke. If you wait to cash in your clumps of soil, the longer you wait the better the chances of getting something decent, or at least that's what is implied from the text that comes up about each lump when you talk to the bloke. I assume that's how you get the Ramphorhynchus fossils.

 

This was discovered by going to the bloke, selecting th fossils in turn but not actually geting them appraised, then going back the next day after doing some digging with new fossils and going down the list again and comparing while remembering which fossil sizes I already had and comparing from what he'd said the previous day. I've now waitied several days and checked each day; how the bloke describes the chances of each lump having anything in it seems to improve each day. The amount of improvement seems to vary lump by lump however.



Supposedly the girl that shows up three times a month on the 7th, 17th, and 27th days of the month is a bit more generous with her appraisals, so I have been saving my finds for her.  Can’t confirm if she is in fact more generous, but at least she is more pleasant to look at.  :Love:

Re: Fossoil Digging Tips

Well, it *looks* from this mornings run that although she *might* give more than one fossil per clod of soil, though that has yet to happen for me, she doesn't give better odds at have a decent fossil in that clod than you'd get from the bloke the prievious day. That is to say that the desciption she gives for each lump is the same desciption that the bloke gave yesterday. I've yet to confirm one way or the other if the bloke will give better descriptions for the same clumps of soil tomorrow or if I'll have to wait until the next day.

Will be interesting to find out one way or the other.

Re: Fossoil Digging Tips

Seeing as there was an update recently, I think it gives me a fair excuse to use this thread again. 

 

In Granzella, there is now two lucky charms. Now, what I wanted to know was what is the difference? I know the grey one is a rarity boost in digging but then what about the pink one? I'll really kick myself if I bought a completely useless one...

Further to Krazy's post above I can tell you that it's currently possible to collect:

 

15 Leaf Fossils
5 Trilobite Fossils

5 Ammonite Fossils

4 Ramphorhynchus Fossils

4 or 5 different sized stones

A rusty tin can

An old tyre

A branch

 

I don't know if it's possible to collect any Ammonite or Ramphorhynchus fossils at this time with the standard tools though [maybe someone can confirm or deny that?] as I haven't got any of those yet.

 

That mysterious woman doesn't seem to give any rarer fossils than the suspicious man either but she does sometimes find 2 fossils in 1 clod of dirt.

 

Hope this helps!


 

OK, So the one's I know of currently are (When placed on the Collection Plates, looking from left to right, row by row from top to bottom unless stated otherwise):

Random items;

  • Empty, Rusty Can
  • Small Stone
  • Moderately Large Stone
  • Large Stone
  • Chewed-up Old Tire
  • Fossil: Mammoth (Tusk)
  • Fossil: Mammoth (Tail)

5 Trilobite Fossils

  • Fossil: Trilobite
  • Fossil: Well-preserved Trilobite
  • Fossil: Multiple Trilobites
  • Fossil: Trilobite Head
  • Fossil: Trilobite Body

5 Ammonite Fossils (Left to right, but column by column top to bottom)

  • Fossil: Ammonite Parent and Child
  • Fossil: Well-preserved Ammonite
  • Fossil:
  • Fossil:
  • Fossil: Ammonite

15 Fossilized Leaves:

  • Fossil: Multiple Calamite Leaves
  • Fossil: Poplar Leaf
  • Fossil: Maple Leaf
  • Fossil: Ginkgo Leaf

6 Footprint Fossils

  • Fossil:
  • Fossil:
  • Fossil: Primate footprint
  • Fossil: Bird Claw Print
  • Fossil:
  • Fossil: Footprint of Herbivorous Dinosaur (Ankylosaur)

The ones that just say 'Fossil:' are place holders until I get them. Anyone got anything not on this list (and where it would go on it)?

 

My main question is; Are there any other Dinosaur bones such as the Mammoth Tusks and Tail that don't have a Collection Plate, but look more like they are meant to be displayed as a skeleton?

That's pretty coincidental! I practically have all the same fossils as you do... No Rhamphorhynchus etc.

 

Just looking back on Retro's post: I thought there was a branch to find but if it's not a fossil I thought I would have found it by now... apparently not. Also, you said "4 or 5 different sized stones" but are you sure there's not just the 3 Eewec mentioned?

 

That is all, well for now anyway.:smileyvery-happy:

I'm starting to think the branch is a myth! I'll check the stones situation and report back here later for you. :smileyhappy:

Re: Fossil Digging Tips

Anyone know why the Fortune Excavation Charm (The red/gold one) has vanished from the shop. I got it while it was still there but don't know what the what is now its vanished from the shop. I have raised it over in the support forum but no reply from anyone so thought I'd try here aswell. I also have the purple one and the silver one, but they're still in the shop.
