Very informative reddit post. This is where Treasure Totems might come in handy, if not for the fact that Moss is hard to come by. Still, at least that gives extra Moss a worthy use.
As for the Desert Festival's 1/47 item, I don't see much issue, as we need all the Free Cacti, right? How many are there, 16? So if we go to Emily 3 days times 16 years, decent chance we get the Shirt anyway. There's several unique random hats she gives too.
Lol Treasure Totem is like one of the things I crafted and then quickly chested away. That's super OP! I did not know about this crazy summoning until now. Would this or shaking trees be more effective? I haven't worked out the odds and I also have not yet tested if shaking the same tree can give different results... but shaking trees require like very little attention, you can just hold A.
I also wonder if panning this can result in different cosmetic items after soft resetting in the same day (to preserve items). I know panning pre 1.6 is deterministic and not subject to change, but I don't know about the details post 1.6 and specifically related to cosmetic items. I will make a post about this later so I can gather all my thoughts and questions in one place and have them answered.
Yeah I'm trying to min max this because I don't have a lot of time at hands for pure vanilla odds. I was thinking of this set up for farming the shirts:
- Player 1 primarily panning in the Dig Site with Iridium Pan, Ginger Ale*, Magic Rock Candy
- When there's a drought of glittering spots, spam the Treasure Totem / shake trees to not waste time just waiting
- Player 2 can just hold A to shake trees (?) Low odds aside, low odds is better than no odds.
I'm also not
as concerned about the Desert shirt either... it feels less time-consuming than the former RNG, but maybe I'm missing something the OOP from Reddit had experienced. I wonder if the one cactus per festival year limit is per player or per save? I'm actually right around spring so I'll test trying to bum multiple cacti using different multiplayers... and also different outfits from Emily... From my experience, my Switch crash after loading in 2 additional players after the update, so there's a hard limit there, but does not hurt to explore that option.
Still missing the Joja Cap. The predictor estimate shows it on the Tuesday... in 19 years. Well I guess that's plenty of time to look for the Tye Dye Shirt and Red Buttoned Vest. And a Void Frog. And a level 5 Fairy...
