Coihreach - Increase chance of Cave encounter

Coihreach - Increase chance of Cave encounter

Last year the Coigreach cave encounter (the one where you follow the wisp) was common enough. It wasn't too difficult to see now and again.
This year though, it's much rarer. This is likely due to increased amount of other encounters.

I would like to see the cave encounter's chances increased to being more comparable to last year. It doesn't need to be a common encounter, but on the day of writing this, after multiple energy bars, I've seen none.

Support! It should at least be boosted whilst we have the quest that requires finding them.

Support, it took me 3 real life days to find all the caves

It's not only the quest, but the caves were meant to be a nice source of the Quarz chunks. Last year it was possible to fairly easily gather quite a few. Without buying, I'm certain I found more than 50.

Don't know.. I keep popping up with wisps all the time. But you have time in between new tiers to find the caves (Like 3+ ro). I think it is fine as it is, especially with the event taking a whole month. Don't be too impatient, but thats my opinion. I would much rather have higher chance at something like chased wolves than a tweaking in wisp cave finding once a year.

No support. Its still decently easy to find caves as long as you save you energy and time it so that you only explore at night. I have found 50+ large quartz chunks and I only use maybe half my energy bars to explore at night. If I had more patience I could have even more by exploring at night more often.

Support.  Or rather, I'd support some mechanism that more evenly distributes caves across time (real time) and biomes.

I've been fortunate to find caves everywhere, but I've talked to several people who cannot seem to find them no matter what they do.  I can only imagine that they're somehow unlucky enough to continually be exploring the wrong biome at the wrong time.  Not sure what the criteria are for distributing the caves, but it's been negatively impacting some players and should probably be reworked.

Do the players make sure to explore at night? They still don't get the encounters at night? I get minimum 2 encounters per full energy bar at night.

Exploring at night helped a bit, but their encounters were still very sparse.  Which made me think the system could possibly be a little glitchy, since this has been a real drawback for some while others of us are practically tripping over caves.

The reason why cave encounters seemed to be common enough in the previous year could be because the cave quest started during autumn followed by winter. This year the quest has started during summer so we got shorter nights.

I feel it's currently fine when there's not a problem to complete the quest before the next chapter of story becomes available with somewhat decent activity, especially that there's nothing much to do with the story for this period of time once the quest is done, players might feel potentially less bored when the waiting period is shorter, which is influenced by the difficulty of this quest.
