Yep. The pet seems to have a (very) rare chance to spit out a collection /reward/ instead of a shiny. In addition to the Kunark glasses (discovery, yay!), I've gotten LORE house items like another set of grinnin bones, bloodstone shards, etc. It /will/ give you a second LORE item if the first one is already placed in your house. It even tried to give me another set of EoF glasses, but I already had them.I'd feel slightly bad about the Kunark glasses if I hadn't already been almost finished with the Expert collection anyway. I had thousands of plant food items stocked up. :> But I wonder if this is intended behavior. The digger seems to give out far, far too many "rare" shinies. I don't object to this in principle, since they've always been too rare and a bit too inaccessible to the average player, but again I don't know if this is intended.Law of unintended consequences, etc; the prices on shinies are coming down, but plant food is generally about a plat at the cheapest, and I doubt we'll ever see it lower than 1g again for any tier if the digger's drop rate remains constant.
I agree -- I was surprised at the number of rare collection items I was getting -- including sun amulet which has never been on our server afaik and vampire fangs which are adventure pack specific AND rare. As common as the fertiliser bits are, I'm surprised at the high return rate of the Burynai. I assumed there would at least be a timer and that generally one would get common collection items, to be honest.I've stopped feeding it. I love spotting a sparkly and running over to it and pulling it out of the ground and hoping it'll be useful. The Burynai felt like a sort of slot machine -- or worse, a rat pressing a button to get that next bit of food. There was no excitement, even as I started collections I'd never seen before. I thought it was a good idea when I first read about it but my Burynai had better start digging for food because I'm not feeding him anymore.Edit: I said to be honest three times. Even I am not THAT honest. SMILEY
