Quests: "Defeat in Battle" causes frequency of Animal Type Encounter Increasing

please,,,,,,,,,

It drives me absolutely insane when I have a "defeat 0/3 marine animals" quest and go through the tundra spending two full bar's worth of energy and not encountering. One. Single. Marine animal.

So if the snake gives you this quest, I feel like these encounters should be more likely, so you can... you know, actually have a chance of completing the quest.

Huge Support. I'm sure the RNG of it is meant to be the point of it, but whenever I get the 'Defeat In Battle' quests it always seems like the animal I'm meant to fight disappears until the quest is over. I have failed so many of them because I straight up don't find the animal type when exploring.

Support!
I don't think simply raising the chances would be a good idea, it would make the quests easier and I can see too many ways for that to be exploited.
Maybe they could introduce a hidden mechanic that guarantees you encounter a quest enemy at least once every 100 steps or something. That way the player wouldn't really feel the change, but it would prevent the rng from making the quest impossible.

The chances wouldn't have to be raised by a lot, just some.

Though I do see what you mean by exploiting— the feature would need to be turned off as soon as the person fulfilled the quest requirements, rather than when they click the complete button.

OMG ! Im ready to pull my hair out on this quest !! I have been 4 times and ether it killed me 2 times or I didnt find one ! I would skip it if I could but who has the money for that !!

I was just about to write a post about this myself, because I failed the "defeat 3 mustelids quest" after two days. I would go through numerous 100 energy bars and not encounter a single animal in question. I understand it's supposed to be difficult, but sometimes it feels close to impossible depending on what the RNG chooses to do.

I honestly feel like the encounter rates shouldn't drop at all; if they do, the encounters should show up with a little less frequency as opposed to hardly at all.

Support. They could also make the "free quest item" encounters able to trigger one of those battles, but that would likely require a bit of extra coding.

I was about to make this post myself. I'm so tired of running into the animal I need to fight multiple times BEFORE I get the quest and then spending a day finding nothing. 

Weighted chances to find the animal you need would be a godsend.
