    I was wondering if anyone else was noticing a significant decline in the amount of tokens you get when using mining backpacks. The difference is so significant I would almost consider it a bug. When mining with a backpack, I am getting maybe a token or two every minute. When I mine without a backpack, I am getting about 6 or 7 tokens a minute. This is also not just a one time thing either, as this is the case literally every time I mine, to the point that if I want tokens, I just take the backpacks out of my inventory. Has anyone else noticed this issue, or is this just happening to me?

    I have not experienced this myself, but you have to think of every factor, 1: It could be the mine your in, since you can have up to 50% bonus tokens. 2: It could be your pickaxe, since you can have all from token detector 1-10. 3: It's all percentage based, which means one minute you could be lucky with 10 tokens, and another minute 2-3. Hope this helps you, if not I would suggest making a bug report.

    That makes sense, however it has been on the same mine, with the same token detector and bonus token levels the entire time. Again I am not sure if it is really a bug or just wildly varying percentages. Just seems very odd to me how drastic the difference in tokens is between having a backpack in my inventory and not.

    Perhaps it's just your luck then.

    If you still suspect it, try holding a backpack in like 3-5 mining sessions of a few minutes each, then repeat, but without the backpack.

    No. It should not reasonably have an effect. if it did, it's probably just luck.

    Not sure what the issue is, but I have tried what Pootis suggested and did find a noticeable difference. Mined for 5 minutes with and without 2 times each and my tokens collected went up by almost 50% average when backpacks were not in my inventory. This could very well be just within the margin of "luck", but it is interesting to see a change like that every time.

    Try mining for 1 Hour with and without and compare the differences. If there is a considerable difference despite the significant amount of time, there is a likely chance that something may actually be wrong.

    I have put more time into mining with and without backpacks in my inventory. The longer I mine I find that it evens out to an insignificant difference between the two. I still find it a little strange that in shorter mining sessions, there was a significant difference. Like you previously stated, that could just be considered the luck of tokens.

    Here's a tip, in case you want to focus on token gathering:

    Invest in a Prison (Upgradeable) Pick on Token Detector, upgrade your private mine's Token Luck, or be lucky and find the Token Luck enchantments. I suggest having a separate pickaxe where you don't focus on Fortune if you really want to stay as much as you can mining before your inventory fills up.

    I have a pick that has Fortune, Token, and Blast all at level 10 and a full set of Miners Delight/Token Luck 2 so I haven't really been struggling for tokens. Just made the thread more to see if anyone else was also noticing a weird trend with backpacks and tokens affecting each other. Appreciate the advice though!
