I’m not sure if there is an established researching base like TheSilphRoad for Pokemon Go. If there is, I’d like to join. If there isn’t, anyone interested? I think I saw a post from Redi dated a few years go collecting data for gnome appearance. Do you think you can help me systematically collect: - # of battles done (that can spawn gnomes) - # of gnomes encountered - # of keys received Over the whole weekend? Even if you don’t record battles, just the latter 2 will be useful to work out key:gnome ratio. The simple way is to not use vault keys during the event - take note of starting number of keys. At the end of the event, just send me - # of keys (#normal, #epic) gained, and the final gnome tracker count, e.g. “4/30” (a total of 5+10+15+20+25+4 gnomes). If you have claimed the tracker keys, make sure to subtract them. _If I find myself playing without access to record accurately, I just omit that play session._ I find that it helps me track my games by simply recording my starting and end trophy counts, e.g. if Phoenicia Lv5 explores, divide difference by 2 for battle count. I have a small sheet of paper where I write down the key and 7 types of gnomes (even if you track just total gnomes, that’d be appreciated), then mark off tally counters 卌 卌 as I play. You might find it easier to tally battles the same way. You can submit data here: [Discord](https://discord.gg/hzMRQ8e) Or reply to this post on the forum. Many thanks!
