For the Lavientia's event going on I processed a bunch of stuff today. I could only get the silver/gold rings (the things that grant buffs not rng chests) to proc more than 1 on each processing attempt. I don't know if that means the other stuff is really hard/rare to proc, or if it is unable to proc more than 1.
I have a very high processing level and for every 10 rings I'd make I would usually get back 15.
It is going to be really hard to get more than 1 of the best boxes. I was trying to farm for 2, but I'm still about 15ish short by the end of this thing. I'll be away for a lot of the holidays so no farming time for me. Oh well, some of the other boxes aren't bad either.
145 energy and 173 contrib. Sitting on three spare fishing boats. My crafter is doing well. The biggest problem in this game is there's so much I want to do and I can only do one of it at a time

I fancy more contrib points to give me more flexability but that cuts into the money making
If you ever start cooking/alchemy the byproduct you make just from cooking everything is a great way to level contribution. I haven't farmed for it in a looooong time and I have over 300 now. I afk cook a lot, both to make money and to get more contribution.
