So, I never did get a response to my ticket. But, I logged off last night with 175/200 flowers, and when I logged in today I had credit for all 200 flowers.

I do agree with others that it took a massive amount of energy to get all the butterflies. At max level, getting the last 125 flowers took me more energy and mana than I'd usually spend in 5 days. I'd frequently clear a field 50+ times without seeing a single flower.

I understand it shouldn't be easy to get that last butterfly, but even so, that seems like a remarkably low drop rate - especially for those at lower levels who don't have access to things like energy packs from the secondary quest hubs.

Will the other four butterflies (after you pick one) be available for purchase, or will this take five years to get all five?

Whats odd, I never noticed this, (but to be fair I was only looking for the question mark to turn yellow)

Others had said they got the 5th butterfly before 200/200

I wish I would have paid attention to when the last patch of rainbow flowers appeared; but I know I didnt get the rewards for until I got 200/200 which I was just able to get before I ran out of energy

It would be fun to have a hunt for the others like we did for the cows.
It could start with the butterflies getting away and give us some to find with quest (s) and /or for sale from an AI vendor.

Hello folks,

We put in a fix for the missing 25 Rare Flowers earlier this morning! If you logged on an returned to the Commons before noon (and after 10:30 or so) and were on part 3 of the quest (collect 200 Rare Flowers), you were given 25 of them. If you logged on and return to the Commons afterwards, and had 175+ Rare Flowers, you were credited as having unlocked the final Rainbow Butterfly.

Some of the confusion seems to be stemming from a typo, where the text to turn in the Rare Flowers quest said "I've collected 100 Rare Flowers!" instead of "I've collected 200 Rare Flowers!". This was a typo, and you still needed to have collected 200 Rare Flowers.

I hope that clears that up! Very sorry for the confusion.

Sincerely,
Nick

Hey Flybaby that typo must have been the one that threw me, the out/our. Doesn't change the very low drop rate, though Horsedancer I am glad you got the boost towards the end, unfortunately it came too late for me as being in the antipodes I went to sleep with about 5 hours left on the clock.

Maybe next year :).

Anubis,

Sorry you missed out, though to be fair the final butterfly (wasn't that great) I ended up picking it on the off chance the boost % was high,..

I just made it myself. I had about 1500 energy left (after using all my small packs too) when I got my last one...

It seemed like the drop rate rose a bit after I hit 175.... but from like 75-175.... it seemed ridiculous

Anubischick, put in a ticket and maybe @Nick will fix it. I think you really wanted the rainbow butterfly! So Sorry.

No stress, I'm a Purple fan so I picked that one. I just wanted to get it completed and see what it looked like, and like a few others the drop rate did seem remarkably low. I'm at Lvl 406, and even with burning through about 25 25% packs plus the dailies and crops my total at the end was 124. I normally get mini-events like this cleared up with hours to spare, even taking into account the time difference, but this one just seemed a little less fun because I could scrounge up 10 papers in the time I got 3-4 rare flowers, which seems off.

However, when all is said and done, I got to get more papers towards the islands and I got a purple butterfly, so all good :)

Thanks for the sweet thoughts though, both of you.

I think the only reason I was able to get all 5 was due to a power -> mana rune,

which gave my lots and lots of more whacks than Id of gotten otherwise

The Rune?

Its an optional rune you can get for doing quests in the Cliff of Korak ;its a bit time consuming takes several days to get each new rune; and its random (I believe which one you get) there are 6 in total and they require flux and Lg rune dust to create;

But imo can be very useful

Cheers
