Should the apple quest require less apples?

[DjaroGames]

Seriously. An oak tree has maybe 50 leaves.
Apples have a 0.5% chance of dropping.
This means that you get 1 apple for every 4 trees on average.
50 apples means 200 Trees.
Oak trees usually have 4 logs, but sometimes 5. Let's say 4.5 on average
Does anyone really want to break 900 logs (over 14 stacks) of wood for a single golden apple?
I'd say something like 25 apples would be better, and even that would be a bit high.
I've been grinding for over an hour and I still haven't finished the quest.

To be honest, SkyBlock is all about the grinding. I don't think they'll really change anything about this.
Also, you can use fortune V tools, and placing multiple saplings at the same time, and just mining the oak, and let the leaves dissapear themself, gives off a lot of apples too..

Oh wow, hadn't even thought about using the fortune enchantment. Thank you

No problem, and a quick side note: use fortune for everything ;)

Depending on how much wood you use, the quest isn't the worst to complete. But yup! Fortune is the most useful enchantment on the server by far!
