IDLE BOSS RUSH: Dowsing Rods Bugged? (Fix)
Short answer
I think it counts the chest when it drops and not when it opens
Why it happens
The counter for the Dowsing Rods appears to track chests at the moment they drop rather than when you actually open them. Because of this, the item contents seem to be rolled immediately upon dropping instead of waiting for the opening action, which causes strange behavior with the counter. Additionally, the chest helper tool opens several types of chests automatically—such as field discovery chests from the Ruff, pet chests, and chests generated by the Dowsing Rods themselves—while these specific chests do not appear to count toward your progress.
How to fix it
- Watch out for automatically opened chests by turning off or monitoring the chest helper, since it opens various items like pet drops, Ruff field discovery chests, and Dowsing Rods chests that may disrupt your counter tracking.
- Keep in mind that the counter operates on chest drops instead of chest openings, so track your progress based on when the chests hit the ground rather than when you click to open them.
If it still doesn't work
- Account for extra chests appearing from pets, field discoveries, and the Dowsing Rods themselves, as these do not count toward the mechanic despite being opened by your chest helper.
- Remember that chest contents are rolled when the drop occurs, which can make the counter seem out of sync with your manual openings.
What players reported
I just recently started using dowsing rods for farming, since i always misunderstood the text. But now that i use it and keep a bit of an eye on it it seems a bit wierd sometimes. Setting: Dowsing Rods Epic Quality / Level 17 (5 chests without - 5 spawn) I can't not really pinpoint where the problem is but some things i observed are: 1.) The chest helper opens one ore more one chests without…
Accepted answer
I think it counts the chest when it drops and not when it opens
Other suggestions
This could be a possibilty, so the chest content gets rolled with the drop and not with the opening. Would definitely explain the wierd behaviour of the counter. Another thing hat i THINK could distord the observation of the counter: Chests from the Ruff: Field Discovery Chests from Pets Chests from Dowsing Rods itself All does do not count i believe but the chest helper is opening them anyway…
