Perandus Coffer spawnrate nerfed?

So i have been farming solaris1 for the past week for 1-2hours per day to get around 1k coins per day.

Now we had a patch of around 3mb which is not documented.

After that patch i'm running solaris now for 3 hours straight and i only found 2 coffer!
(found 1 archive and 1 trove lol). Also i noticed that the amount seems also to be lower. while i always got 100+ coins (mostly around 120) i counted 80 coins now.

am i extremely unlucky? (or was i extremely lucky the past week?)
or are others experiencing the same?

this is quite frustrating and takes away another thing that was fun for me.

It's random. As with any random set of data, there are abberations.
In addition to that, you'll always find that there are others out there that will support your suspicions, no matter what they are. Coming here and asking if "anyone out there" agrees with your claim is sure to induce what is known as "confirmation bias".

Learn some basic statistics and you'll get much further in life than if you didn't. I'd much rather see more focus on statistics that the mad rush to Calculus we currently have in the US. Calc should be banned from HS curriculum.

very helpfull posts of you 3, indeed.

what was i even thinking asking other ppl for their experience.

did any one of you 3 even do solaris farming?
and i mean over a longer period of time?
did you keep track of what you got?

for me, since i started farming in this spot, i consistently aquired 1k coins in around 1 hour of farming. during that hour i always had at least 4 (sometimes even 2 in one instance) coffers. this was so regular i even started to doubt there is any rng involved. also coffers always gave around 120 coins. i counted it. (looked what i had before picking up and after).

now sry that after 3 hours of farming and only finding 2 coffers whith one of them having significantly less than 100 coins (and the other pretty much exactly 100) i come here and ask if others have had a similar experience since the last patch.

i fucking know what rng is. that's why i asked a question and didn't state it as a fact.
i can't (and won't) farm solaris for the rest of the day to see if this evens out.

if nothing changed others will come and say "no, i'm farming solaris too and nothing changed for me". the more ppl answer the more accurate it will get.
i fucking know that one answer like "yea, solaris sucks" isn't worth anything. i never claimed that.

i just don't have the time to endlessly farm solaris and i still wanted to know if it's worth.

but you guys just saw something like "rng" and didn't even try to understand.

this wasn't supposed to be a witchhunt or a "ggg sucks" thread. i wanted more info which you couldn't provide.
so instead of posting bullshit next time don't post anything!

very valueable post vipermagi ...

You have noticed and fixated on a specifically bad result.

A statistician would form a hypothesis and test it.

The typical millennial will post on a forum with his claim that the world is against him.
You are unlucky.
You want someone to confirm your very limited set of data as true or false.
Random is Random - I have found 3 Perandus chests within one room of each other and none in a whole zone.

I want to add the data of other ppl to my limited set of data to get a bigger pool and make a better conclusion.

I have had 4 perandus boxes + cadiro in one room. now?
that is not what i wanted to know nor was asking for.

There is a special perandus box named "Perandus Coffer" which holds (mostly way) more than 100 coins. This one is the box to look for when you want to farm coins. (i also open all the others which have a random outcome of around 2-50 coins).

Ive never managed to get more than ~800 per hour. However, some youtubers claim that they find ~2k coins per hour in Lunaris. So they probably get far more coins in Hardcore?
