I fully support, though I do want to point something out.

There is an item called "snake scent". It can be a bit expensive at times and increases the chance of finding the NPC you're needing for a quest. Even event quest NPCs. However this item is literally useless if you are needing say...the mound to place the herb on....or the fire to light the stick with. Actual encounters that even without the quest I personally only see once maybe twice a day. And when I have the quest for it it takes half the day to find.

I just suggest making the quest encounters a little more frequent. Including the NPCs needed for them.

i considered snake scent but it only works for battle/slay quests ^^’ an adjustment for Snake Scent itself to include all quest objectives could be a useful thing though instead of changing the shaman quests could help with future event quests as well if we ever run into this issue again

Aristanae is wrong indeed, the Snake Scent only works for enemies requested by the questing snake. It can be used at any time, even when you dont have any sort of a quest, and the effect will always go away the first quest you complete - even if its a non-battle quest. It has nothing to do with event quests. If it ever slightly affects the event enemies, its only when said enemies fit into the current snake quest's target - so if you need to slay, say, lions, it could attract all lion encounters including the event tsavo and barbary lions. But that's it. It doesnt work for event quests unless it happens the match the current snake quest.

I support this suggestion, of course! I skip all explore quests because the decrease in said enounter when you're on a quest for it, is dramatic. The "funny" comic about shaman putting out a fire when you got a quest for it, is definitely true - the encounters are too rare when they're requested. They need to be boosted, not debuffed.

I would very much love it if we could just skip quests until we found one we actually can complete. After all, its not FREE to just get that piety, you still have to submit herbs/skins/etc. But RNG involved, it makes it ridiculous sometimes. I once got three SAME quests in a row, skipping them all. That's just not the way to do it.

Even if we could just skip the quests without it taking away one of our daily slots it would be ideal so we can just get on with a different objective. I usually don’t have time to explore daily due to a busy work life so the item quests are the ones I can reliably get done.

I agree! It'd be best if we could Complete no more than 3 quests per rollover, but skip as many as we feel like, aka, once you get the piety for it, a slot goes down, but not when you skip, since you earn nothing from skipping.

yesterday I got put mixture in empty tree trunk, early in day. I spent pretty much whole day, and didn't found that encounter at all. some day before I saw it pop up like, three times. if these encounters poped up more regulary/balanced it would be all ok buth uhhh...... so yea def support to this

I would support using ScB to skip quests like in other events. I can't think of any other event where we aren't penalised for skipping quests, so I would not at all support a penalty-free skip.

I think the RNG/chances of coming across our objective should be adjusted. It's obvious the moment we receive an explore quest, the chance of finding that specific explore encounter is drastically reduced. In one energy bar, I can come across every event explore encounter if I don't have a Shaman Quest active. Once an explore encounter Shaman Quest is active, I can go 5 full energy bars without finding the encounter I need while seeing all the others multiple times per bar.

I think there are so many possible solutions to this perceived issue that it would be frustrating if something isn’t implemented to adjust it next year.

Snake Scent not just working for this or snake quests, but for any currently active quest your king is on—i.e. Vredefort Crater—would not only help the discouragement felt of burning multiple energy bars unsuccessfully, but would increase the value of that item and help clear the dozens many of us have sitting in our hoards. I’d be happy to trade off multiple uses for them to each be single use, and lower the encounter rate they grant (I don’t know what it’s currently at but I got 6 buffalos in a row when using one last week, crushed my quest quickly).

That’s a lot of coding, though, even if it would greatly enhance the usability of snake scent.

The option above I like most is spending the event currency to get a different quest, like every other event quest in the game. It would be especially welcome because, in my personal opinion, the November event shop is also the one with least desirable items to purchase.

A third option I think would be just as simple: right now the distribution of explore to item quests is Aker 5:5, Sphinx 5:5, and Tefnut 4:6. Some folks really prefer the explore quests, so why not have there be a good reason for 3 different shaman quest givers? Maybe a 7:3, 5:5, and 3:7 ratio instead, allowing players to choose their preferred style of quest. Maybe even increase the number and variety of herbs and items for each item quest if the devs feel this would otherwise make the dailies too easy.

And finally—the OP mentioned this as an issue for folks that don’t want to buy energy boosts. Yesterday I burnt a roasted lamb and purchased TEN energy boosts trying to find a Transvaal, and ended up skipping 12 hours later because I had to get to bed and was hoping I’d have better luck with #3 (I did; it was rawhide). So even when you dump over 20 GB into it there’s still an issue here.
