I recently got both the new Life Finder and Storm Scout pet talents and acquired enough talent tokens to unlock them both. I've activated both talents more than 50 times each, and it feels like Life Finder doesn't work. Of all the times I've used Life Finder, I've never gotten any elixirs. On the other hand, Storm Scout has worked plenty of times. And even when Storm Scout doesn't grant any additional reagents, it instead gives about 400 to 600 gold, regardless of what kind of reagent you're picking up and regardless of which area you're at. Life Finder doesn't seem to give any additional gold besides what you get from opening the wooden chest. More importantly, Life Finder doesn't really seem to give any indication that it actually works like Storm Scout does.
Is the Life Finder pet talent working properly, or is its success rate really just that low?
