Random encouter rates

[Alana]

I have my random encouters set to 1 and they still appear far too often, almost every step. It doesn't seem to have any impact. I don't want the player to be constantly walking into monsters, I want them every now and then, maybe as little as one a map. If this is the lowest I can take it I might have to event my encouters?

The encounter rate is not really a rate as in a percentage or whatever, instead it's how many times the player can be expected to walk without encountering an enemy. So 25 means the player will roughly walk 25 steps to get an encounter (but it is random of course).

Ok that makes a lot more sense...
