Farming is already annnoying enough. Much less trying to track down 1 useless mole that has like a .00000000000000000000002% chance of giving us a .0000000000000000000000002% chance at getting a .03% of a usless pet. 75% of us hide our pets to preserve our frames and because the animations are crap. Moles offer no advantage over a normal life pets, like say the rabbit we already have for free from events. You can only level the mole with another mole, so essentially you don't need 1 mole to be competative with the free rabbit, or the ones we got from market, we need 21 to get it to level 4 to even have it in our lineup.
So no we don't feel like we will ever get a full one in our BDO career, nor do we care because they are essentially useless.
Solution is to give it a better chance and reduce the 3 spawns back to 1, and give it a farm related skill, though I would probably forget to use it anyway because there is too much to remember in this game and you don't offer one button loadouts or even character loadouts. I already don't take the time to put on my preonne accessories to harvest.
Also while I am at it, why are seeds not stackable? Literal lightest items in game and you can't stack them everywhere?
I get so frustrated at things like this in the game and slowly but surely things are getting less frustrating about this game. But we can only take so much.
Based!
I agree, the mole pet is useless. I've completed 1 mole pet and I've never used it. It definetely needs a farming skill added to it. Agree with the seed-stacking as well, we've been asking for that for a long time.
Pit-a-Patt Mole is one of very few pets that can be smashed into a garmoth pet, makes it highly usefull.

No it can't.
These rare items, like the treasure items, do not justify the length of time spent grinding them. They could really do with a fresh eye on them to adjust the buffs/penalties/cooldowns.
G31 farmer here, I have only 8 petals so far ^^
And yes, this pet is just useless. Also there isn't any title for obtaining it ... it should be treasuer item afterall.
Let me walk back my emotional statement there. I can't say they don't have value, as they do have life buff up to +4, so that is valuable. Because even I need another pet with a life buff like that, and then the possibility to get a farming + buff.
I don't mind chasing them so much. I do like that the petal rates have been buffed. I just wanted to try to express like I know you are trying to do something for the community and sharing that it seems to us like wasted time and resources, to further waste our time and resources. I like that you added the speech bubbles it makes them easier to find. But I also want to breed my plants as fast as possible. You can hear the sound of the collection when you have it going as fast as possible, which is super satisfying. But the moles break that up. Often i even miss that they spawned in first place and it is super frustrating over and over.
I am at guru 6 farming and I have at this point 1 mole, and 17 petals. Still looking to take forever. I farm dry mane grass every 2.5 hours in Valencia and turn in the leaves for XP and contribution. This method has helped me push from 440 ish to 470 ish. I still only get about 188 mil from trading in 234 imperial meals. It really doesn't seem worth it at all in todays game. We were hoping for 1 to 1 imperials, but that didn't happen for the ball today.
Seed pouch wasn't a help either really, just means I need to make less trips back to storage but we farm right by storage if we can so no that was disappointing as well.

Honestly, I felt this as well. Only 50 slots and planting using full magical means I can only hold two different [typical] crop types (+10 large crop types like hot peppers). I know they said this was temporary, but they spent time, and resources, on this temporary fix. I'd rather have had them acknowledge the timespan of announcing stacking seeds and say they are still working on it. I can only pray it doesn't get cancelled and they go by way of the fish tank.
On topic: yeah, the mole is useless. It's a 'free' life pet, but it offers nothing special for as much of a time sink that it is to get. At least Garmoth gives you HP and is the only pet that gives you HP for your efforts.
Gets worse... there are no pets with worse lifetime chances of rolling Farming XP than Mole though plenty the same, best chancces belong to most of the "classic" pets (except Duck and Haetae), and knowledge birds, and a few others
