Kudos to the Cows for a new donation chest! I like the buffs involved, but I would prefer to see better synergies in the future.

 

1) AL and Lib are only good for hunting, while Conserve also helps farmers and Titan hunters. I would much prefer in the future to see a combination of AL/Lib/Doubler over AL/Conserve/Doubler in the Fleeting Potion of Advancement (Spooky Potion II had this problem as well).

2) The AM/LF combination clashes as well. With Distil 150, AM 400 becomes AM 460, with a 92% chance of activation. This means 1 / (1 - 0.92) = 12.5 times the number of creatures spawn on a square on average. This means far less movement on the map, rendering LF far less important. As a frag farmer I think the LF on the Bug Drool Potion of Composing should be replaced by either Reckoning 300 or Conserve 500-600.

 

Aside: does the inclusion of Wither 450 in a donation chest mean that Flasks of Death won't ever spawn again? If the Cows plan on releasing the Flask of Death creature in the scavenging caves later on, it renders the Fiery Potion of Aggression mostly useless. Smashing Hammer 425 is very powerful, but probably not worth 100-150 FSP. Anti Deflect 200 can be obtained via composing, albeit at level 40.

That chest not much interesting because of the duration of buffs being too low

 

Would be cool to have offer gives Doubler 2000 that will be popular

I'd have to disagree that this is a clash - though I can also see why one might also wish to have Conserve in a farming group. Personally, I would say that high level AL, Lib and Cons are the three most important potions to have for an effective megahunt, and so the combination is completely appropriate.

 

Doubler 1500 might be nice, but we can get it independently as doubler 1250 (particularly if spending money on FSP offers!), so its inclusion in a hunting pack is a lot less useful than conserve 500.

 

 

AM and LF I agree are a less obvious combination - unless this AM were to work on titans. For hunting anything else, the high level AM makes moving unnecessary, and so the LF redundant.

i donated a couple of days ago then today i only just saw the duration and was like (ROAARRR) ... with 70k stam and a bit of lag i may need to use a second pot OR buy a BM300, epic pots for hunting and event titan hunting should be a minimum of 90 mins one would hope for 120 mins :)

OMGosh I didn't notice the duration.  WHEN have these ever had such short durations  I feel sort of robbed, though I know it's not intentional.  I am a ridiculously slow hunter - partly because I'm distractable.

I should add - I'm sure it wasn't intentional on HCS' part, but I wish they had not done it this way as based on prior chests we do have an expectation of a pattern of the duration of potions from these chest and perhaps that wasn't considered.  Expecting something to follow the prior pattern of behavior is a reasonable expectation.
