I feel really sorry for those who had to do this quest before they improved the drop rate, since it is abysmally low now it must have been an infinitesimally small chance to get the meat.

And how is requiring more meat an improvement?

This is a main quest. It shouldn't take this long. Fix it, please.

Actually, this is the main story quest so this needs to be done. They actually increased the drop rate for this quest and changed it from collecting only 1 to collecting 8. I just started this quest and collected two of eight so its faster then it was but not too fast that it's easy. Though I still can't stand those Buffaloons. They're still way to strong imho.

I am not sure if this is going to ever be fixed .

What I do know is that I got so tired of it with my first pirate, I started another character.

I am now at this quest again, with a second character........facing exactly the same problems, and the thought of spending fruitless hours trying to fulfill this quest.

I spoke with support who say nothing they can do, its a design thing. They told me to report it here, and I have done for a couple of weeks now, as have others. Spoke with support again, and they tell me its not noted as a bug, so............I dont know the answer.

I am working on this quest now also for a friend. When I did it originally it took forever to get 1 hide.

Now it is to get 8 white buffaloon meat and so far we have done 7 fights and have got 1 meat - how is this changed to be easier?

I thought if you wanted us to get 8 it would be just to kill them - meaning 8 total fights? So at the rate we are getting them it will take 56 fights if we are lucky?

Is this really a good change?

Can I ask , please, that someone takes some time to explain what is happening, and if we can expect a fix on this problem?

After struggling once, for 2 days, to get these 8 pieces of meat, I took a friend out last night, who was also struggling.
I used the character that had the meat already, and was just a level or so higher. With me, she got one drop after another, on every fight. Before that, alone, she had struggled and had 2, after many hours.

Thinking that this may work for my new character, she used her higher character that already had the 8 pieces, a level higher, this morning, and took me out. I got 1 in 4 hours, and 11 fights.

Obviously, this is not right :(
My instinct after such frustration, was just to cut and run, and abandon the game, but I have invested too many hours, and spent lots of crowns.

Some get it, some dont, please, it would be great if we had some answers.

I'm another one stuck on this quest, given up on the amount of fights without any meat dropping. The only change I've noticed is that now the White ones seem to appear most battles. I've started this quest at 15, now I'm 23 and still no drops :(

I find it's easier to do the white buffaloon quest on my own, as bringing other people to help makes it that much harder, since you only get one white buffaloon per battle.

I know KI changed to add white buffaloons in the sky, however, this does not increase the chance of getting the meat needed to fulfill the quest.

Before, you had to be lucky to get a white buffaloon, and you only needed one meat. Now, you can get a white buffaloon per battle, however, KI changed the quest to obtain 8 meat. This did not make the amount of battles shorter. For my first pirate, it took 29 battles (random white buffaloon with 1 meat required). For my second pirate, it took almost as many battles (I lost count), to get the 8 meat = total time required 9 hours.

Since this is a main quest, there isn't any way to get around it. It would be easier, and not so tedious, if I would have gotten 1 meat per white buffaloon in battle (8 battles). I could live with that.

It doesn't matter what size ship you have. If you solo, you will get 3-5 buffaloons total (including one white buffaloon).

I'll just keep on getting nautical xp until i get the required meat aha.....

The quest to get the White Buffaloon for the Brother Wolf quest is bit overkill, 1st: you have fight 1 White Buffaloon to get the meat from it and as C-3PO would say " thats 70,000 to 1 " and I would say " Never Quote me the odds ", 2nd: I have to get 8 pieces of White Buffaloon meat as I said in my 1st quote above " thats 70,000 to 1 " of actually getting a piece of White Meat, "pardon the pun" and 3rd: there dodging way to much and hitting way to hard.

Sincerely,

Valdus Zabra lvl 23 Swashbuckler

Reckless Jack Walker lvl 12 Buccaneer
Benjiman Carter lvl 4 Privateer

for 2 days straight i didn't get any meat from fighting them

( i really want to go to ms )

please fix it i feel like giving up

woohoo got the meat a leveled up in nautical :dance:

Out of 7 or 8 fights I have received only 1 white buffaloon meat. This was on the first fight. If a quest is going to require 40 or more fights, at least be honest about it and make it a quest to kill 40 so we feel like we are making progress. With other quests that require item drops it is beneficial to group with others, as it seems to increase the odds. This one does not add more white buffaloons when people join so it just slows things down.

After at least 6 fights in a row with no drop, I am considering dropping my subscription. I certainly won't keep trying to progress on this quest on the off chance that I "might" get the second of 8 pieces.

By the way - there are two threads for this in the cool ranch section . A forum dude might want to consider combining these.

This was frustrating the first time around with my privateer, but at least we only needed to collect 1 meat. KI changed it and made the white buffaloon visible, but changed the quest from needing to obtain 1, to obtaining 8. This is basically the same thing, or worse. I've fought 8 fights, and got 2 meat. I guess this means I need to fight at least 48 more fights before I get the other 6. I prefer it being only to collect 1 and make the darn thing invisible (I'm the one who suggested the "flee" and port back). That was a lot easier to do. Very frustrating.
