Cobalt Foxgloves

Is anyone else having a very difficult time finding this flower? I have picked upwards of 800 marigolds and 150 periwinkles and only found 4 foxgloves. Just wondering if there is a better spot where they are more likely to spawn or if they really are that much of a pain? Thanks in advance :)

I'm surprised you found any foxgloves at all. We couldn't find them in beta. Check out the event guide for all the flower locations http://www.celticheroes.info/2015/08/be ... guide.html It is just random if they spawn or not, and they are very rare.

From that guide, here's what you need to collect total to get a white mask.
At the end of this quest you will have collected:
570 Flame Marigolds
185 Periwinkle Knapweed
35 Cobalt Foxgloves

You could always try to buy them, or trade a bunch of your unused Marigolds for one. I wish they weren't so rare, but I guess that's part of the quest!

Just to have a 3-4% chance at a shimmering white mask. :cry:

From seeing everyone's posts and my bug report, it seems to be a 1/250 chance for a Foxglove. (I haven't had that much luck:( going on 600 with 1 fox. That means, to get a shimmering mask, you will need 415 fox gloves. (1/20 chance at best) to get those foxgloves, you will need to pick 103,750 flowers.



I have 20 picking minions averaging 17 flowers every time I log them. It takes 3 minutes to log them all.
17 fl/3 min to get 103,750 flowers will take me 18,300 minutes or 305 hours to pick a sufficient amount of flowers. Treating Celtic heroes as a full time 40hr/wk job, it will take me 7.5 weeks to pick these flowers.

I believe this was a mistake. Please fix this!!

All because of the stupid random reward players have come to expect. This shouldve been removed a long time ago. Anyone who actually gets 10k+ of anything deserves a shimmering or sparkling or whatever top reward. Sheesh.

Ikr. Unless the patches openly tell me fox gloves are more frequent I'm done with this. I have gotten 1 foxglove, bought 2, and have the marigolds and periwinkles for 2 whites but am stuck on purple.

I'm in the same boat. Been trying to buy them too with no luck :/
Would be excellent if the spawn rate was bumped up a little!

I posted a complaint on beta about these, no answer.
I had collected over 1800 flowers and gotten 4 foxgloves, all I wanted to do was test the 'uses' on them.
I expressed my concern that in the actual game there would be so many people collecting them, noone would get a white mask because of how rare they are.
