Pet food shortage?

[SkyRider99]

Where has all the pet food gone?

I check MA crafting several times per day, but have only had one or two pet food in the past two weeks. Have I been a bad boy, and they are punishing me?

Use it sparingly, I have 130+ pet food in storage, also I try and time so I see all 4 crafting a day and use time instants on pet food, aim so that crafting resets an hour before your bedtime (runs 5 hours of your sleep) and then you see new recipe's in the morning at breakfast close to ending. Time boosters on pet food I find the key to it coming into rotation, clear the spot, as letting pet food run in crafting prevents a respawn of pet food in the crafting spot.

Good tip @m4rt1n. I wasn't aware of that one.

Maybe it's just me but I seem to time boost everything I craft in the Magic Academy, even the time boosters

Me too.
I figure a 5hour boost to craft a 20hour gives a 15hour profit

After a post a few weeks ago regarding starving pets, I started keeping track of how often Pet Food comes up in my MA.
I play every day and usually see 3 cycles per day and sometimes use a sip of clarity for a 4th.
In 3 weeks I got 11 Pet Food. Interesting (to me) is the very random spread, RNG in top form here.

17 April : 1
19 April : 2
26 April : 1
27 April : 2
29 April : 1
2 May : 1
3 May : 1
4 May : 1
8 May : 1 (so far, still morning here)
8 May : 3 whoop whoop

I'll carry on keeping tabs in my very swish in-game notepad

Edit to adjust 8 May. MA cycled and I got another Pet Food. Timered it, used a Sip of Clarity and got another Pet Food. Thanks RNGesus!!

Thanks RNGesus!!

No fair! You're not supposed to use push accounts. Although divine intervention may be the exception.

RNGesus and I, we're tight

I received two Pet Foods in a row last week but i don't know what I did to deserve that. I am actually running low I believe under 10 now where i used to have around 20 a few months ago. I will try to use timers and keep the right window open in future. Thanks for this post SkyRider99
edit: I have 7 PF...

In the 4 weeks since then, I've crafted 24 Pet Food.
Average 6 per week up from 3.7 per week.
RNG.........

 

[SkyRider99]

I'm averaging 2/week. I am so happy for you though.

Sorry, I hope my post didn't come across as 'flexing' which was not it's intention
2 per week is really Scrooge-like.
I'm guessing the Fire Phoenix gets one while the other emaciated pets have to fight over the crumbs of the 2nd.
This must have quite an effect on spire/tourney choices. Fight/bribe.
I hope RNGesus smiles upon you in the future
