Different results 360 from Home and All Around Cacher Badge

Sat, 23 May 2020 15:02:52 +0000

Hi,

there is a difference between the number showing in the tool 360 from home (312 done) and the number showing for the badge „All Around Cacher“ (only 311, missing one!).

Anyone else who has the same effect?

Currently it is not a problem, there are still enough to go. The last one will be difficult for the Diamond Badge, not knowing which bearing is missing.

Any idea?

Kind Regards

New 360 degrees from home tool queries

Thu, 12 Mar 2020 20:52:21 +0000

Hi all,

I'm liking the look of the new tool for determining which sectors you have/don't have, but I have 2 queries about it.

Firstly, on my map it doesn't show me any actual caches that I could go and try to find in spite of having the for incomplete sectors show 'not found' tab clicked.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Or am I doing something wrong?

Secondly, is there a limit on physical distance for which this tool will work? Or is there a distance limit for qualifications for this badge?

I ask as I will be going abroad to the other side of the planet (Corona Virus notwithstanding) in a few months time and it might be the only chance I get to fulfill some sectors as I live on the coast of North Island, New Zealand.

I can see the sectors projected into Australia, but nothing is showing when I look at the map to the UK.

Cheers.

Thanks in advance.

Feedback on new badge: Difficulty of Jasmer cacher badge

Thu, 20 Feb 2020 22:51:49 +0000

I have been looking at the makeover that the badge system has gotten as of late - in particular the new badge types.

Keeping to just one: The Jasmer cache, I have a few questions.

1. Difficulty curve of Jasmer badge

I have noticed that the new Jasmer has a very steep difficulty curve compared to other badges with max values (only 360 degrees in the circle, only 103 attributes collectable), the Jasmer cache has a very steep curve to get to the gem badges ?

Here it is as a table, comparing the percentages of Diamond level for All round cacher and the Attributes cacher against Jasmer's levels:

	All round	Attribute	Jasmer
Bronze	12,5	48,5	15,2
Silver	25,0	58,3	30,4
Gold	33,3	68,0	60,8
Platinum	50,0	77,7	91,1
Ruby	75,0	87,4	97,0
Sapphire	83,3	92,2	98,3
Emerald	97,2	97,1	99,2
Diamond	100,0	100,0	100,0

Shown are percentages compared to value needed for diamond (max). Highlighted in bold is the highest badge that rounding 90,0% of the value needed for diamond badge will grant you. Here it is as a graph:

Suggestion: Bring the difficulty of the Jasmer cache more in line with the rest of badges.

If you were to align the Jasmer badge to the difficulty of, say, the Attribute cacher, the progression in months requirement would look like this:

	Jasmer (proposed)
Bronze	116
Silver	139
Gold	162
Platinum	185
Ruby	208
Sapphire	219
Emerald	231
Diamond	237

Values within the vicinity of the above would be my proposal.

2. Diamond level for Jasmer badge as time moves on

Title says it all. Currently, Diamond is obtained at 237 months. Counting both May 2000 and February of 2020, the total max is now 238 months. Not considering scenarios that include the end of the world or other event that will potentially stop people from getting new cache listings published, presumably there max will pretty much increase by one for each new month we enter. Will the total be revised or is it the plan that 237 will forever be diamond level?

How do we find which degrees we're missing for the new 360 degrees badge
