There are only a decrease in the encounters due to more explore encounters being added, probably.

No support.

Not quite, I checked the wiki (you can see it as far back as its creation if you know where to look) and the number of enounters/amounts of JB given by those encounters haven't changed. Some of the Omens & Horses give JB as well. Most of my encounters this month have been generic explore encounters over event encounters, which is the same for quite a few players it would seem - there are a few threads with hundreds of responses in regards to what seems to be lowered JB all around, but as far as I know only two new encounters were added this month and both give JB. We just aren't rolling the encounters.

I am certain that they haven't changed anything, they are being nice by adding that Siren's Horn too, the one that increases the chance.

I didn't play last year on September, but the year before I actually got more encounters this year then two years back if that helps,

They absolutely haven't changed anything, they've confirmed that, however a lot of people are just noticing that the encounter rates seem backwards this year (more explore encounters over event ones), I have played this event every year since 2015 and this is the only year I have struggled I am almost certain.

Its just odd that lots of players, old and new are all seeming to have the same issue whilst some people are having absolutely no issue whatsoever. I've been exploring with every single energy bar when I am awake and so far have 356 Jewel Beetles, whilst using the wiki to get the higher Jewel Beetle results.

I would absolutely adore Sirens Call if it wasn't for 15 minutes, imo its only good right now if you have energy boosts/experience banked - because in 15 minutes the most energy someone could get would be 270% (Starting at 100%, free energy boost for another 100%, hyperactive for 30%, bone marrow for 20% and then hopefully their energy ticks for another 10-20% [if lambed/bulled]).

If it was 30 minutes at least people would get a couple energy ticks in and it would be in line with the OGs Catnip/Hyena Butter.

I see what you mean tbh, I'm starting to think that maybe it should be increase but don't forget about Gorilla Enclave's energy btw! Goodluck with encounters, hopefully Siren's horn shows up soon

Yeah, I forget the Enclave exists sometimes ngl (plus its time out of the 15 minutes to get a quest, locate a cub, offer the cub etc). That would take max energy to 330% with a lamb/bull.

And to you!
