eaven tho i shot him?

[proper mesa]

Yes

Yes

[pulsar dune]

that is good to know

[lean lintel]

There is no purple mark so he isn't dead yet. Probably will remain at 25% until you kill him

[pulsar dune]

[lean lintel]

That's it

[dry path]

<@&393042322499305473>

[pulsar dune]

Any tips on how to spawn more diamonds. What tactits to use. What do i shoot and what do i leave.

[dry path]

herd management is what you looking for tho i wouldnt recommend it to new players and its really over kill if you want one or two diamonds from a species

will rare furs affect the spawn of more rare furs cuz i have 2 small solos mulies that are both dilute and i dont want to shoot them but i wanna know if it lowers the odds of other rare furs spawning

[wooden maple]

Is there any way to set up a tiger grind?

[dry path]

nope

[wooden maple]

💔

[pulsar dune]

I'm not new player, i just ain't grinding guy.

That is why i'm asking

[spark basalt]

Yes there is

Its VERY slow tho may i add

but it is still possible

[wooden maple]

I bet lol I mean there’s only 16 on a map at once so yk

This is good news

[spark basalt]

plus the respawn timer sucks

[wooden maple]

Ah dang

[coral gull]

<@&393042322499305473>

[sand jungle]

Can somebody help me? I’m doing a fallow great one grind but whenever I do my eight rotations, I do them too quick and responses haven’t happened yet is there any way to get around this?

[dry path]

doing the rotations slower lol

[trim echo]

They can only be male, and most folks grind them on Silver Ridge Peaks

[trim echo]

The Hyperion, or Odin if you have the dlc

[trim echo]

With what?

[sand jungle]

Do you lot think that great one Wolff will be one of the more easier great ones or one of the harder?

[tribal reef]

Fp I’m rlly stuck

And to set up a fallow frind

Grind

[dry path]

when i finished shooting down my mulies and i start to rotate my main zones do i just shoot every male in every zone?

[hardy sentinel]

Yes

[sand jungle]

If I have a zone with two males and then a bunch of females, is it okay if I kill both males?

[hardy sentinel]

Yea it is

[sand jungle]

Ok ty

[hardy sentinel]

A zone only stops receiving respawns if it only has 1 animal in it

So if you have at least 2 females, you can shoot all the males

[sand jungle]

Good to know ty

[hardy sentinel]

If you have 1 female, you can shoot everything but 1 male

[hardy sentinel]

Np

[vestal shore]

Could anyone help me start the setup of a grind later? pc

[dry path]

watch a scarecrow vid he explains it as good as anyone here could

[vestal shore]

Yup

[stone terrace]

When shall be the next sale?

I was wonderin

[dry path]

probably around christmas

[loud kestrel]

Christmas is close so

[eternal spoke]

What would be the best weapon for like pronghorn and whitetail/blacktail and some mule deer hunting?

[dry path]

[eternal spoke]

ah

tysm

[outer storm]

Where are the most magpie goose in australia?

[dusk plaza]

Anybody know how the respawns work for wolfs? Do you need to shoot male and female like fox?

[spark basalt]

just shooting males work

[dusk plaza]

Perfect thanks

[high forge]

Guys question, lets say I missed a vital organ on a Mythical Grey wolf(lv 8) and the trophy rating is 38.57(silver because of harvest check)

Would the trophy rating be more if harvest check was perfect(meaning the actual rating not silver gold or diamond, the number, or is that predetermined and only shows you what you would have gotten

39 is daimond

[dusk plaza]

No the score stays same. Only thing that changes is gold silver etc

[high forge]

Thank goodness

Wouldve km if I lost the diamond

[dusk plaza]

I hear that!

[deft plume]

anyone have any tips for emily heart elk challenge?

[tough elm]

Anyone have any tips on how to start herd management for red deer on Te Awaroa?

[dusk plaza]

Find your zones. Then Shoot down your solo zones first. Once solo zones are shot down then start setting up your zones you wanna hunt

[tough elm]

How many zones should I find?

[dusk plaza]

You should find all your zones. But once you shoot solos down you don’t need to hunt all the other zones you hunt the more desirable zones and the other zones will just be exterior zones.

[tough elm]

thanks for the tips

[buoyant musk]

yo ive been searching my parque fernando for a diamond blackbuck for atleast 5 hours at this point, i think i might not even ahve one at all. how can i speed this up? theyre my favorite animal in the game rn and parque is so dense with foliage

[north herald]

why do my magpie geese flee after landing for 2 seconds on decoys

[spark basalt]

C r o c s

[buoyant musk]

are there anywhere i can hunt the magpiues without crocs?

[north herald]

im not near crocs

[leaden topaz]

What gun do y’all use to hunt ducks?

[north herald]

shotgun

[leaden topaz]

Really

[north herald]

really

[leaden topaz]

Alright then I’ll give shotgun a try

[rustic robin]

Do yall think Yukon, Medved, or Askiy is better for wolves?

[dry path]

yukon prob

[rustic robin]

That’s what I was thinking, 🤝

[spark basalt]

@hardy sentinel

i think im already like 6-800 into bear

😭

[hardy sentinel]

Huh

[spark basalt]

600-800

kills

into bear

i think

[hardy sentinel]

That's not too bad

What's with the emoji

🥺

[spark basalt]

what emoji

[dry path]

so i have a problem i cant find my last solo mulie ive looked at every lake twice and shot every mulie in my shooter zones and i cant find him

[trim echo]

They're easier to find on Sundarpatan, but as far as speeding it up there is nothing you can really do other than set up a grind for one

[spark basalt]

@hardy sentinel

what emoji

[hardy sentinel]

.

[spark basalt]

oh

idk

[chrome phoenix]

How many moose drinkibg zones are on yukon?

[proper mesa]

I think 300

[chrome phoenix]

Zones not max score

💀💀

[proper mesa]

Yes. 300

Also max score is 301.sum lol

🥺

[chrome phoenix]

There is not 300 drinking zones on this map...💀

Ive got 30 and ive checked half the map

[proper mesa]

It’s like 170-250 I think. NEM is the 300 zone map

[proper mesa]

Well you didn’t check well enough obviously

[chrome phoenix]

Yeah. Just checked its 180-200

Not 300

[proper mesa]

Like I said that’s Nem 😥 my fault

[chrome phoenix]

I said half the map theres more areas for me to check

[chrome phoenix]

Its fine i knew NEM had 300 but i was like no way yukon also has 300 🤣🤣

[proper mesa]

Yep

Lol

[chrome phoenix]

I just want my super rare 😭

[tribal reef]

Who is one ps5 and want to help me set up a fallow grind

[dry path]

after stacking diamonds in main zone do i shoot all the diamonds when im starting the actual grind

[stiff pelican]

How in the world does NEM have 300 moose zones

I checked my map like six times and only found like 120

[proper mesa]

Istg it has the most and it’s like 300 😭

[stiff pelican]

Have you counted them??

Like actually

[proper mesa]

I heard it from friends and in scarecrow and lady legend vids

[proper mesa]

Nah just hear say

[stiff pelican]

No offense but the numbers I hear get easily misconstrued by the community and a lot of it is just generalizations/hearsay, so I’m curious if anyone else has actually counted or is just guessing lmao

Mine didn’t have more than 120 something zones that’s for sure
Not counting any solos that may pop out though 💔

[proper mesa]

Makes sense lol

[crisp totem]

I need help with the vualez wildlife control story mission where I gotta harvest 2 coyotes in cheelah

[tribal ledge]

do you have the e caller?

[deft plume]

i need help with the emily heart elk, harverst a bull from a stand, can only get females to spawn, any ideas?

[tribal ledge]

it's not that only females are spawning - its just a female herd

you need to find the bulls

[deft plume]

ive been trying for a week lol

[tribal ledge]

do you have the e caller? You can try and summon them

[deft plume]

yes

[iron isle]

Is there a way to export them or do you have to go over it one-by-one?

[deft plume]

ill pay someone 10 dollars if they can help me pass this misison lol

[pulsar dune]

Which one?

[mint nexus]

Is there any modded lobby’s for ps5?

[deft plume]

emily heart elk, harvest a bull from a stand @pulsar dune

[mint nexus]

I wanna troll my friend

[pulsar dune]

Oh sorry, didn't see the message up there

[mint nexus]

I not finna tax anything, I want the true experience of finding something rare

[dry path]

wrong discord

[mint nexus]

Oh

What discord?

[dry path]

none

[mint nexus]

Alr

I wanna troll my friend

[dry path]

modding just aint accepted in any of the big discords

[mint nexus]

That’s fair

Have you ever caught a great one black bear?

[dry path]

never grinded black bear

[mint nexus]

Oh

I’ve always wanted one

[pulsar dune]

Your problem is that you can't find a male elk?

[deft plume]

yes @pulsar dune

[dry path]

from what ive heard is that black bear is fairly easy

[mint nexus]

They are?

I’ve only seen one diamond

[deft plume]

i can find a male elk but it has to be from a stand

[dry path]

Gotta grind for it but it can be a very short grind

[pulsar dune]

Have you watched any guides jet?

[deft plume]

yes

they all walk to a stand and call them in, i do that and its only females that show up

[pulsar dune]

Try to scout area and see if you can find male elk. If you find it, try to lure it towards you while you slowly retrieve back to stand. @deft plume

[deft plume]

ive tried lol

[pulsar dune]

This is more the lack of luck problem, not the lack of skill.

Try again

[iron isle]

Elk herds are separated

[pulsar dune]

Did you try to switch stands? @deft plume

[deft plume]

yes

3 of them

[stiff pelican]

I just counted them individually

[iron dune]

Hey i cant join any vs

Vc

[stiff pelican]

Probably because you don’t have the member role

[pulsar dune]

That is all i got bro. Just try your best until you finish it. Good luck.

[iron isle]

I'm not surprised at 3, there are more female herds than male herds

[iron dune]

I literally selected all of them...

[tribal ledge]

Lemme fix that

[iron dune]

Ty so much ready to play this game

[tribal ledge]

There you go!

[dry path]

after stacking mulie diamonds and managin everything down how do i go about shooting the stacked diamonds do i just shoot them all in the first round or do i need to shoot them one by one

[stiff pelican]

You don’t need do anything but shoot them

It doesn’t matter. Shoot as many as you can
If you want, do it ethically

[dry path]

well thats easier thani thought

thank you

[stiff pelican]

Oh yeah. No prob lol

[shadow sapphire]

When they do a population reset like say the grey wolves. Does that reset their drink zones or just the animals themselves

[dry path]

if im not mistaken its a full wipe

[shadow sapphire]

Dang. Do you know where I can look to get solid confirmation or is that the belief? I’m set up on 16 wolf drink zones and was hoping I didn’t need to do all the work again

[tribal ledge]

they aren't doing a wolf pop reset though.

So you're safe

[hardy sentinel]

Yea wolves aren't getting reset

[shadow sapphire]

Oh thank god. If they do it will come out Monday with the notes?

[hardy sentinel]

And when an animal gets reset, it resets your zones, and the whole species will reset in general

[hardy sentinel]

Yes, but it's been confirmed they're not going to

From Vivi

[shadow sapphire]

Thank you on both confirming repop and reset.

[tribal reef]

Yo anyone wanna help me

[harsh current]

does anyone know what causes this glitch it’s honestly game breaking happening every single time-

[shadow sapphire]

With

[tribal reef]

Fallow grind

[shadow sapphire]

I haven’t experienced this before

[shadow sapphire]

I’m setting up my wolf grind I can’t

[hardy sentinel]

Normally this happens to me when I pick up droppings or disturbed veg

And even then it's rare

[tribal reef]

Ok np but Ty for responding

[harsh current]

yeah isn’t it so weird

not for me

[hardy sentinel]

Very weird

[harsh current]

once it happens once it becomes every time

[hardy sentinel]

Weird game

[hardy sentinel]

Lol

[harsh current]

i thought it was the over flow of tracks i turned them off and it still happens

[hardy sentinel]

Just how this game goes

[shadow sapphire]

Maybe in a few when I need a break I’ll be up to it

[tribal reef]

Are I on ps

[shadow sapphire]

Xbox

[tribal reef]

Oh

I’m ps5

[shadow sapphire]

Dang. I’m sorry dog

🫡 good luck on your grind

[frail zodiac]

When this used to happen to me the fix was investigating a track

[dry path]

whats like the average kills for a GO mulie cuz im like 2k kills deep without one

[harsh current]

i will try that next time which will be literally next tent i go to…. hoping that works because it quite literally makes grinding impossible

the game would run faster if i plugged it up my ass

[limpid steeple]

whats the accuracy on the new 257

[nimble smelt]

same accuracy as every other gun, 100%

[dry path]

35

[dry path]

i think he meant the actual accuracy stat guns have

[nimble smelt]

Oh, the stat that means nothing

[dry path]

it does actually its determining how much wobble the gun has when aiming

[stone terrace]

does anyone know if there will be a sale when the game feeder pack releases?

[nimble smelt]

Ik, just doesn't really mean accuracy

[dry path]

yep its kinda missleading

[dry path]

what do i do to prevent mulie bouncers?

[graceful relic]

how far away should my tent be from my animals zones

[nimble smelt]

200m

[dry path]

250m

[dry path]

can work too i always go for 250 just to be safe

[graceful relic]

thanks

[wintry ore]

Can’t really do nothing, how many per zone are you shooting?

[dry path]

i was shooting everything i could possibly

ive now limited myself to 2 bucks in a zone with 4 and 1 buck in a zone with 2 bucks

and that seems to be the charm

[wintry ore]

Shoot 2 max

From what I’ve heard any more can cause jumping more often

It is inevitable

But you can limit it

[fossil arrow]

HELP
Is Cotw resetting the red deer population?????

[dry path]

why would they??

[wintry ore]

No

[fossil arrow]

I was told by multiple streamers they were so I didn’t know

[wintry ore]

It might be a subspecies or the same thing as the new wolf furs

Could be possible but it would suck

[fossil arrow]

Yeah bc I’m in the middle of a grind like 800 kills in

[wintry ore]

You have till like December

[fossil arrow]

Okay

Can’t wait for the g1 wolf next week

Or 3 days

[boreal fulcrum]

I saw a lot of people using something like weapon wheel for switching guns. Like the one you have in inventory. Can anyone help me how to open this wheel? So i dont have to use my numpad keys always?

[near inlet]

''F2'' Default.
Once you're in it ''E'' or ''Q''.

[dry path]

hold numpad arrow up

[sand jungle]

Guys, I’m currently doing a fallow grind but whenever I do, I feel really bored and demotivated is it okay if I so second great one grind if one I think will be a bit more fun and when I get bored of that one go back to fallow or alternate

[gusty silo]

so recently got a new gaming pc downloaded steam again downloaded cotw i have all my dlc's but lvl 0 and lost my main trophy lodge with trophies from last 3 years. anyway to fix this?

[dry path]

you will get bored of the second one too thats how grinding is

[dry path]

the game doesnt save your data so no unless you transfer it from your old pc to your new one

[gusty silo]

sheeeeshhhhh thats wild fresh start i suppose least i have my guns

[dry path]

thats the spirit

[proper mesa]

Cloud sync via steam

Or use a usb

[near inlet]

Welcome to the club. Same thing for me, I have to restart all the reserves. 😅

[shadow sapphire]

Probably a question that’s stupid but can you herd manage grey wolves or is it shoot as many males as possible?

[dry path]

you can basically HM anything besides birds i think

dont quote me on that tho

[shadow sapphire]

Okay. I was thinking the same. I’ve got 16 zones and multiple have only 6 or 5s and I’ve been shooting 7s and 8s but haven’t had any respawns

[dry path]

from what ive heard in the great one channel you want to get the wolves to lvl 5

[shadow sapphire]

I assumed that the 5s are what you want. Thank you. I’ll start working on taking the 6s

[gusty silo]

i don't mind restarting reserves but losing my prophies wasa let down 🙁 all my rares just gone

[forest cairn]

How long does a zone stay Red for?

[nimble smelt]

wdym

[forest cairn]

After you kill animals the area on map turns red or dark before it turns dead

[oblique sequoia]

Do I need to be picking up my animals or can I just reset the map?

Can great ones spawn as a solo

[near inlet]

A few days, I don't know exactly how many, but you can reduce hunting pressure by hunting from a tripod, a tree stand, or a ground blind.

[nimble smelt]

Pick them up

[nimble smelt]

They can spawn as any male

[oblique sequoia]

Ok

[left swallow]

just started the game any tips to get money

[wintry ore]

Crocodiles

[alpine bramble]

i am starting my whitetail grind on layton lakes, i was told there should be around 60ish drink zones. If i counted them correctly i found 54 drink zones. Is that enough to start the grind or should i still be looking?

[dapper wedge]

You should be fine. You can only grind a fraction of those at a time anyways

[alpine bramble]

So when i start shooting the zones. Do i need to find my main zones and start shooting them along with the zones im shooting down or wait on the main zones?

[hardy sentinel]

Shoot both your main zones and exterior zones

Anything big you spawn on your main zones (diamond for example), you keep

Anything small you spawn on your exterior zones (level 4 or smaller for animals that go up to 9

Level 2 and below for animals that go up to 5 (with the exception of small 3s for certain species)

Level 1 for animals that go up to 3 (with the exception for some small 2s))

[crisp spear]

How can I get the fallow deer on the round end of the road

[crisp spear]

Without popping the zones

[fathom forge]

can someone help me set up a whitetail grind on revontuli

[dawn nacelle]

Is there a way to change the save directory?
Currently the games saves to my documents but i want it to save to another drive. Is it possible to change this or can i delete the document folder and still keep my save via steam cloud?

[dry path]

deleting a zone and hopoing they move there

[dusk pasture]

im hunting harlequin ducks and ive set up a blind and some decoys but whenever they land they just flee does anyone kknow why?

[winter shard]

Is COTW better on console or pc?

[dry path]

ive played both and pc is better if you have a decent pc

[tribal ledge]

Pc, imo, even with a 1080 i run it with less issues than I see console users facing

I also almost strictly play single player so don't run the risk of running into gnarsty cheaters

Aaaand I don't need to pay for a subscription to play with my friends who I do trust

Like PSN or XBox Gold or whatever it is these days

[winter shard]

I have a laptop, idk if it can run it tho

Is it painful to play with low or moderate graphics

[pulsar dune]

Will this achievement be obtained trough missions or do i have to do it by myself

[dry path]

it doesnt state that it comes from a mission so you will most likely need to do it yourself

[pulsar dune]

I'm asking because there are missions where you have to taker a pic of different animal species, so i'm asking if there are missions for every animal like that or only for some

[dry path]

i wouldnt expect a mission that forces you to photograph every species

[random iron]

I have a question I'm doing my first ever great one grind and I have an albino female moose in a drinking zone would it be okay to shoot it?

[hybrid osprey]

Feel free to shoot as many females like you want. This will not impact your grind, as long as you don’t shoot all animals from the group. Then the whole group will respawn somewhere else.

[random iron]

Ok thx 1 more question what if there's 1 male and 1 female would I be okay to shoot the male or will it mess up the zone?

[covert ginkgo]

is there a way to get my "game" back? ive played a lot on my epic account and ive switched to a new pc and it seems like it isnt saved with the epic account

[pulsar dune]

do i need to use the blind from the dlc or the ones on the map?

[cerulean lion]

I have 2 moose zones on medved where the moose literally just disappeared, in 1 of my zones only one moose will now come in and in the other none will, does anyone know why

[outer storm]

Wich reserve should i buy, i own emerald coast.

[brazen socket]

Askiy Ridge

[cerulean lion]

Depends, do you like any specific animals or hunting styles?

Or have a grind in mind you’d like to do

[outer storm]

I like hunting big animals like 7,8,9 and im currently trying to get my first diamond.

[craggy canopy]

Askiy ridge

I think?

[brazen socket]

When you're new, it's hard to say what you like to hunt - go for a great map and expand your horizons

[cerulean lion]

Majority of maps have big animals like Layton, sundar, vurhonga, askiy, revontuli,

[craggy canopy]

Yea, even Layton can be good for 7 & 8 animals

[cerulean lion]

Like personally, my favorite map is sundar which a lot of people will disagree with

[craggy canopy]

Just don’t try to hunt moose without a high caliber

[cerulean lion]

If you’re looking to buy a map, I would suggest going into a multiplayer and trying it out instead of listening to what people feed you based on what THEY like

[craggy canopy]

Yea

I’d recommend try the popular maps in multiplayer

Askiy ridge, silver ridge, and the others

Then as you explore the animal variety you can choose what you want to hunt

[outer storm]

7mm?

[outer storm]

Ok thanks.

[craggy canopy]

I think that’s good for moose

I mean lower caliber rifles like 270 which can hunt moose but takes a bit, or any 223 things like that

But any caliber above that is good or even overkill

[main slate]

i want to set up my first great one grind and i want to do red deer, what map should i do it on and can someone explain how to do a great one guide in simple terms

[hardy sentinel]

Definitely Te Awaroa

[wheat mauve]

Te awaroa is the best map for red deer could also try cuatro Colinas

[main slate]

and how would i set it up, i kind of know the basics but not really at the same time

[hardy sentinel]

After you find all your zones, find 8 - 10 of your best zones and place a tent and tripod/blind from about 230m away, and a tent on top of the zone

This is if you're not doing herd managment

[wheat mauve]

Ziona beat me to it

[hardy sentinel]

Sorry

Lol

[wheat mauve]

But yeah what he said

Red deer are fairly easy to get going

[main slate]

what would the difference be between doing herd management and not

[main slate]

also why would i place a tent on the zone and also why 230m

[hardy sentinel]

Wait

[hardy sentinel]

I answer this 1st

[tawny mason]

Animals spook from tents at 180m

[hardy sentinel]

You place a tent directly on the zone so once you shoot the red deer, you can fast travel on it and claim it

[craggy canopy]

If I’m not wrong you scare animals when you’re too close and teleport to your tent at around 180m

[tawny mason]

But they can be on a distance of 50 meters from The zone

[craggy canopy]

And for fast travel to the deer post the shot

[tawny mason]

180+50=230

[hardy sentinel]

And the tent placement being 230m is so the animals don't spook when you enter the tent

[hardy sentinel]

Now this

[wheat mauve]

Mainly just diamond count

[main slate]

wouldnt 300m be better so i can zero my rifle to it and get a more accurate shot

[wheat mauve]

You'll get more diamonds with hm than without it

[main slate]

i mean i would also enjoy getting diamonds

[tawny mason]

Getting 2 Animals down at 300m aint that easy

[wheat mauve]

No because most deer will be out of range sometimes so its not entirely accurate

Same with what Gustavo said

[tawny mason]

And at 230 you can use The 150m zero Just fine

Dont recomend hm for The First grind Tho ngl

Hm can be extremely overwhelming

[pine trail]

when i graind how i do

??

[tawny mason]

What do you mean?

[main slate]

so can anyone do like a checklist in order so i can just save it and check it when i need to

[tawny mason]

Sure

[pine trail]

how do i graind?

[hardy sentinel]

Basically you're going to do the exact same thing as a non herd managed grind, set up from 230m away from the zone

However, you'll want to set up on 16 different zones, 8 being your main zones, and 8 being exterior zones

The goal would be to get all of your exteriors down to low levels, and your main zones to high levels

So you'll continously shoot all 16 zones, and every time you spawn a high level in a main zone (normally a diamond) you keep it alive, and kill any other male. In an exterior zone you'll want to do the opposite, you'll want to kill anything above level 4 (in the case of ref deer), and keep anything under level 5 alive (with the exception of level 5s that look like level 4s, however I'd only keep like 5 of these 5s)

Basically, whenever you get one of your exteriors down to just low levels, you take that set up down and set up on another exterior zone. You then repeat the process until all your exteriors are shot down

That's a basic guide for herd managment

Once you're done with all exteriors

Take those tents and use them as pick up tents on the main zones

[main slate]

sounds painful to do

[hardy sentinel]

It does sound painful lol

Especially for a 1st grind

Personally I wouldn't do it if you're just getting into grinding, and if you do I'd pick an easier grind like fallow or bear

[main slate]

ill probably try it after my second or third grind

[hardy sentinel]

Fair

[main slate]

i mean i think i only have 3 diamonds at the moment also since i didnt understand the game for ages

[tawny mason]

1-Select The map you are going to use for Said species, prioritize maps with smaller territories, better visibility;
2-check ALL your zones for The animal you are grinding, there are maps online for all the areas animals can drink for all the maps;
3- decide If you Will herd manage or not, if yes, follow zionas instructions;
4- If you arent gonna use herd manage Just pick 8 zones you like, place tents 230m away and tripods around 200m away with clear lines of sight;
5- place a Second tent on top of The zones for faster pickups;
6- at this point Just keep rotating The zones shooting 2 males at Max, never shoot more Than 2 since that can cause The respawns to jump, dont shoot females too

There you go mate

[tawny mason]

3 Dimes Overall?

[main slate]

i think so

[tawny mason]

Ngl man

If i were you

I would Just Hunt normally for a bit

[frosty girder]

Blesses on whoever recommended the 7mm with polymers

[main slate]

i have like 100 hours and i have grinded some species but i swear my luck is trash

[tawny mason]

Check your maps, get a better grip on The mechanics

[tawny mason]

You are certainly missing some spots on your map

[main slate]

i mean im doing a croc grind on emerald coast for diamonds and im just going up the coast, ive gotten about 5 potential diamonds with 1 legendary but not a single one reached 1000

[tawny mason]

Crocs troll quite a bit

Checked The mangroves yet?

[main slate]

not much but i sometimes do

[tawny mason]

Im not 100% sure, but i think Crocs only make Dime at Max level

Some species can make It 1 lvl bellow

Predators usually only make It at Max lvl

[main slate]

but on some mythicals it said it could go up to about 1030-50ish

[tawny mason]

@hardy sentinel

[tawny mason]

Ik

[hardy sentinel]

Me

[spark basalt]

but lvl 8 crocs dont make it

[tawny mason]

But they usually score at The bottom

[spark basalt]

neither do lvl 8 red deers/bears

[hardy sentinel]

The estimate isn't always the possibility

[tawny mason]

Hunter answered already

[main slate]

so its just lying

[tawny mason]

Even 9 Crocs dont usually make it

[spark basalt]

no

😭

the estimate doesnt mean shi half the time

its just a range

[tawny mason]

Most species on emerald coast troll a lot

Crocs, rusa, roos and goats beeing The worst ones

[hardy sentinel]

It's a range, they can score on the bottom, middle, or top

However, lets say the score of an animal is 100, and this species' estimate range is 30, it could have a range anywhere from 70 - 100 to 100 - 130

Could be 80 - 110, 85 - 115, but in the end, it'll score the exact same

Even for max levels, if it has an estimate of 80 - 110, it is just as likely to score 80 flat as it is to score 110.99

Estimate shows you it's possibilities, yes, but there's still a possibility "cap" for certain animal's levels

Hope that makes sense

[main slate]

so like what should i do before i do my first great one grind

[spark basalt]

find all your zones for that animal

[tawny mason]

.

[main slate]

ik but you said to learn like the game first

[tawny mason]

Oh

Just play the game

[hardy sentinel]

Personally I'd wait to get to at least like level 40 - 45

[tawny mason]

In General

[hardy sentinel]

Get a feel for the game

Improve your aim

And just your skills in general

[main slate]

im level 41

[hardy sentinel]

Oh

[spark basalt]

im lvl 55

[hardy sentinel]

Get your skills and perks in

[tawny mason]

You dont count

[spark basalt]

zona, what does iayf mean

[hardy sentinel]

Huh

[spark basalt]

i do count

watch

[hardy sentinel]

Oh

[spark basalt]

1

2

3

[hardy sentinel]

It's all your fault

[tawny mason]

I was wondering

[spark basalt]

4

[main slate]

so whats happening atm

[spark basalt]

drugs

[hardy sentinel]

Something funny that happened to me and 2 of my friends

Makes me giggle

[main slate]

so like since i already am what should i do

[hardy sentinel]

I mean you could start grinding

If you end up liking it and find it easy then go for it

Could also wait to level 60, have all your skills and perks unlocked

[tawny mason]

Just know that youll most likely probably Go 100s of kills without getting The g1

[hardy sentinel]

But again, if you're aim and follow ups are generally good, and you know what you're doing, then go for it

[tawny mason]

My last one was a mulie with 1900 kills

[hardy sentinel]

This

You need patience

Probably Hundreds, possibly thousands of kills without a g1

[tawny mason]

I have almost 7k Bear kills and dont have a g1 Bear yet

[main slate]

ive been doing that for a single diamond croc mate

[tawny mason]

Trust me

You havent

[main slate]

i struggle with follow up shots slightly

[hardy sentinel]

You could improve on those

[main slate]

i aint saying like over 300

[hardy sentinel]

I mean

Grinding in itself can help you improve your shots

[tawny mason]

It gets better over time

[hardy sentinel]

Yea

[tawny mason]

And like

[main slate]

the main thing is i always stay zoomed in and forget to zoom out for an easier shot

[hardy sentinel]

Ahh

[tawny mason]

Diamonds are somewhat easier

[hardy sentinel]

A lot easier

[tawny mason]

Since you can "manipulate" The game into spawning diamonds by shooting only big animals

G1s are Just rng

[errant vessel]

hi what gun Is best on whitetail deer And blacktail deer

[hardy sentinel]

Most 4 - 8

M1

[tawny mason]

Any 4-8

[hardy sentinel]

308

7mm works for f2p

[main slate]

ill try and set up the grind just so i can take a break from grinding crocs

[hardy sentinel]

Peak

[tawny mason]

Good luck

[tawny mason]

Even The 243 with polimers can take Them down pretty easily

Wt are really fragile

[errant vessel]

thank you

[tawny mason]

Yw

You have Any weapons/map DLC?

[errant vessel]

Now no

[velvet nova]

What happened to all the maps and stuff on the serv

[errant vessel]

i am on x Box

[tawny mason]

Just use The 243 or The 270 then

[errant vessel]

ok i try it

[tawny mason]

They changed some stuff aparently

[pine trail]

whats the best way to get freat one fallow deer on griand

[tulip solar]

Are you able to connect mouse and keyboard to Xbox

[pine trail]

??

is it better grind alone or multi

[fossil arrow]

What is the best map to grind whitetail on

[nimble smelt]

alone

grinding on multi is just silly

[nimble smelt]

rev or layton

[stiff pelican]

Unless you have a buddy you’re grinding with, but otherwise yeah that’s just… why

I’d be far too worried someone is going to ruin something

[reef dagger]

uhm it looks like there is a dlc causing my game to crash does anyone know exactly which one it is

[last hemlock]

Can i get zone tips for askiy ridge mule deer

[last hemlock]

Thanks

But what id the tent range thing to the animals hearing the tent

[dry path]

250m

[spark basalt]

around 300 for placing, 180-200 for fast travelling

[last hemlock]

Ok

[spark basalt]

this is metres btw

[solemn saddle]

if im trying to herd manage and i find a solo male, do i kill it?

or let it live?

[hybrid silo]

kill it

[dry path]

you also want to manage it down

[outer storm]

Whats the best wepon pack?

[dry path]

there is no best its all preference

tho id say the high calibre one is good cuz of the arzyna

[molten vale]

Are there any good guides for Tobii eye tracking settings anywhere?

[jade garden]

Im looking for an easy and fairly quick grind to do any ideas? Ive done fallow on te but thats it

[round vortex]

Anyone else have an issue with the Snow Day mission not completing, everything is checked off.

[hardy sentinel]

Bear on SRP and mule deer on Askiy

[stiff pelican]

I was gonna suggest bear but it’s not really quick unless you aren’t doing HM

[hardy sentinel]

No no

It's always quick

[stiff pelican]

Fox and pheasant would be quick to setup for too, but not as easy

[hardy sentinel]

Hm process is slow

But after you're done from hm it's fast

[stiff pelican]

That’s literally exactly what I’m saying lol

[hardy sentinel]

Oh

Mb lol

I thought you meant after hm it's slow

[stiff pelican]

If you wanna do herd management it’ll take a lot longer but it’s very easy
Without HM it’s a bit longer set up but very easy

[stiff pelican]

Oh no, sorry lol

[hardy sentinel]

It's okay lol

[stiff pelican]

It’s just the setup that’s the longest. For any grind really but with bears hm you gotta manage the entire map 💔

[hardy sentinel]

All in all

Bear is a very easy grind

Hm or no hm

Easiest grind in the game imo

[stiff pelican]

Way. It’s my go-to lol was my first and it will be my forever casual grind

Super easy once you’re just grinding

[dry path]

does hm have any influence on a GO cuz my HM for mulie is very mediocre cuz i didnt wanna do solos and i needed 2800 kills for the GO

[hardy sentinel]

Same

My 1st

[stiff pelican]

HM doesn’t have any effect on mulie g1 chances

go forth, be free, shoot males

Claim em

[hardy sentinel]

I have 14 bear

I want more

But I'm set up for mule deer

[stiff pelican]

Felt. Can never have enough lol

[hardy sentinel]

On SRP

[dry path]

yea thats what ive done i just got my first and i thought the grind was way longer than others had

[hardy sentinel]

Exactly lol

[stiff pelican]

Just rng

Make sure you’re picking up and claiming every male kill

[stuck sigil]

Hi anyone done moose grind here?

[hardy sentinel]

As soon as I finish my mule deer hm on SRP, and get a g1 or 2, I'm returning to the bear grind

[hardy sentinel]

I have!

It's rather annoying lol

[stuck sigil]

Can you correct me if i am saying how i did it is wrong

[hardy sentinel]

Go for it

[stuck sigil]

I have like 6 main zone, fisrtly do they need to be close? Or can they be split between regions. I searched every lake and made sure it was obly lvl 1 and 2. Is that all i gotta do? Spent 20 hours to do it and didnt kbow i needed to shot lvl 3

[hardy sentinel]

Okay so

Few things

6 main zones isn't enough, I'd say like 10 - 12, all with 1 male 2 females/1 female and 2 males

Main zones can be anywhere on the map, doesn't matter if they're close/far

And for the level 1 and 2 thing, if you're doing hm, all your exteriors should preferably be those levels yes

In your main zones you should have higher levels, however, you will continously shoot your main zones so if you don't have big animals or not, it doesn't matter

[stuck sigil]

Well these are my mains. Most have sooo much moose

[hardy sentinel]

Yea those are good spots

The only issue would be is if they're too close

Cus if you shoot 1 zone, the other might flee off

[stuck sigil]

Oh ye. Havent experinced that so prob are good

[hardy sentinel]

If they're like 200 - 300 meters away from each other, one might spook off the other

[hardy sentinel]

Good good

[stuck sigil]

But isnt that enough main zone?

[hardy sentinel]

I'd say 10 - 12

Wait

Do you have 1 or 2 males in your mains?

[stuck sigil]

One or two zones sometimes has 1. But often its 2 or even more

[hardy sentinel]

Personally I'd go for the ones with just 1 male

Cus the ones with 2 males "break", and one of the males go to another zone

And that's why I'd recommend 10 - 12+ zones

You'd be shooting 1 per zone

You'd be getting 10 - 12+ per run

[stuck sigil]

But of they have 2 males i get then both usually.

Also if i have 10 zones i cant use pickup tents

[stuck sigil]

Should i change any of my main? And if i need moee where shiuld i have it?

[hardy sentinel]

True, but at some point one male bounces out and goes to another zone, this is why I'd say you should change those 2 male zones with 1 male zones

Then you won't have to find that bouncer male

[hardy sentinel]

They're all good

[stuck sigil]

But most of them has 2 or more males tho. Prob should change the river ngl

[hardy sentinel]

And for other zones, you can go anywhere on the map where you have a good moose zone

[hardy sentinel]

I mean you could keep them

Sometimes they end up being consistent

[hardy sentinel]

Yea you'd have some zones where you'd need to atv

[stuck sigil]

Thats true. Since most of my mains zone dosent have lakes nearby soo moosesprob wont bounce

[hardy sentinel]

Depends on their mood lol

[stuck sigil]

?

[hardy sentinel]

Personally I'd make the switch to 1 shooter per zone, but it's up to you

[hardy sentinel]

I mean sometimes they're consistent, sometimes they're not

And it's basically up to whatever the game decides it wants them to be lol

[stuck sigil]

Well wyt about this plan. I use my mains since they are pretty good. Could mby get low lvl on my main except 1 male. Then i clean the map for high level. And when i do that if i find any zones with 1 male i take that as a main till i have 10 mains

[hardy sentinel]

Honestly

[stuck sigil]

Or just have all highs on my main prob are consistent. Idk

[hardy sentinel]

I feel like if you're gonna get 1 managed down and 1 not, atp manage them both and find a 1 male zone

Bcs it's not shooting 2 males that makes them bounce

It's the 2m 2f zones in general that are inconsistent

[stuck sigil]

Ohhh so basicly all my zones are bad theb

What you rec me to do

[hardy sentinel]

I'd say manage down the 2 male zones, and find 10 - 12+ 1 male 2 female/ 2 male 1 female zones and use those as your main zones

It'll be slow

But moose themselves are slow

[stuck sigil]

Hmm. So wym manage down. Kinda didnt understand

[hardy sentinel]

Get the 2 male 2 female zones down to 2 small males

[stuck sigil]

Oh and not use as main?

[hardy sentinel]

Yea

Get them down, and then use those tents for those zones with 1 male

[stuck sigil]

Well isnt it better to start making every lake low level. And while i do that i take it as a main if it has 1 male. Then i just do that till i have 10mains. I prob keep the top main zone and the one thats left and above river. And at the bottom. So i keep 4 of them since many use it. Then i get 6 sones with max 1 male. Also you sure this is right. Who have said its better?

[main slate]

do animals respawn whenever you sleep?

[dry path]

nope

they respawn after like 15 mins

sometimes more sometimes less

[main slate]

i swear whenever i sleep they respawn though

[stuck sigil]

So like 4 big zones since its ofteb alot there and 6 sones with 1 male only and female dont matter

[jade garden]

How many drink zones for mulies r on srp?

[dry path]

they just come back to the zone

[stuck sigil]

Or wyt,

Or does someone else approve

[main slate]

wdym

[stuck sigil]

@hardy sentinel right?

[unborn thistle]

Could anyone help me? I play on xbox for almost a year and a half now, but i did a pause and when i downloaded the game again and went to play with my friens, it said "the host of the game is not online anymore" sum like that, and its for all multiplayer servers, my friend has the same problem too

Can anyone help?

[dry path]

when you sleep and hit the time where an animal is in their zone it looks like they respawn

[stuck sigil]

Do you kbwo anything about moose grind

[main slate]

so they do respawn?

[dry path]

sadly no

[dry path]

yes and no

they just go back to where you saw them before you slept

but if you shot an animal out of the zone it will take time to repsawn

[hardy sentinel]

I feel like you could yea

And most ppl say 1 male zones are better

[main slate]

so if i shoot them in a zone and sleep they then respawn

[hardy sentinel]

As they're consistent

[dry path]

no the animals you shoot take time to respawn

the herd just comes back

without the one youve shot

[main slate]

oh ok

[stuck sigil]

Oh okay, since it always spawn 1 male back or? Is 2 male not consistent since it can sometimes be no males?

[hardy sentinel]

They both will spawn their males back

The one with 1 male spawns the male back more often

The one with 2 males will work for a little bit, having 2 males pop up, but at some point 1 of them will go to a different zone, forcing you to refind that one male again

Having 2 males would just be more work in the long run

[stuck sigil]

You said 2 males could go to a diff zone why cant 1 male?

[hardy sentinel]

I have no clue

Nobody does

It's just 1 of the many things the game does that nobody knows why

[stiff pelican]

Bc at least one guy has gotta stay with the ladies, duh /jk

[stuck sigil]

Oh okay. Its just that no youtubers have said i should go for 1 male zone. But i prob make most male 1 zone and some 2-3 males and i see what i like. Also females and males could change spawns too.

I try it tmr anything else? Just wasted 20 hours lol.

[hardy sentinel]

Nah that's basically it

[stuck sigil]

Also yt like ladylegendxo didnt do it i think

Not 1 person has said go with male 1 zone. My friends told me it was good if it was 2 males atleast. And youtubers didnt mention it. But some said 10 12 main zones tho

[nimble smelt]

10-12 main zones is best

since you're only shooting 1 male from each zone

[stuck sigil]

Ohhh so u agree too. I only take zones with 1 male as main?

[hardy sentinel]

Just gonna state this now

[wary gulch]

Moose?

[stuck sigil]

Ues

Yes

[hardy sentinel]

Ladylegend isn't the most reliable YouTuber for information

[stuck sigil]

Well not many youtubers tho that shows it

[wary gulch]

Moose zones with 2 males and 1 female or zones with 1 male and 2 females are the best zones you can grind and only shoot 1 per zone

You cant break those zones

[stuck sigil]

Oh okay that explains why i need 10 zones

[nimble smelt]

1 male 3 female works too

[brisk pine]

Hey yall, my German pointer dog, has So far only tracked female mule deer( ×5), is this a bug? Or is my dog just a D1 hater for female mule deer

[stuck sigil]

But then these mains aee bad then

[wary gulch]

But are inconsistent sometimes those zones are hit or miss

[stuck sigil]

Except the bottom since its 3 female and 1 male

[spark basalt]

im praying my moose will work this save

[stuck sigil]

So i only use these zones as main. 1 male 2 female. 2 male 1 female. 1male 3female

Its more like drinking zone tho

[wary gulch]

1 male 3 female are hit or miss, some zones like that word good others dont work at all, I have one where it hasnt had a male come back in 4k kills

[stuck sigil]

Okay but i its 1 male 2 females at a big zones and its many drinking zones with like 6 female i still just make that as a main?

[wary gulch]

6 females is bad

Thats like 3 different herds at 1 zone

[tawny mason]

I think hes saying its 2 zones in The same spot

[stuck sigil]

Yess

So mby one really good zones and like 3 beside thats bad

[tawny mason]

You Will only shoot The good one, simple as that

[stuck sigil]

Ye thats what i thougt

Well i guess i need to spend another 20 hours soing it again

[tawny mason]

Doing what

[stuck sigil]

Making new main zone with more correct zones also making rest of the lakes lvl 1 and 2.

A youtuber told me i dont need to shoot level 3 if their antlers looks like brances but thats wrong i think so need to start all over

[tawny mason]

Herd managing in general then

[stuck sigil]

Yes and finding good drinking zones for moose.

[spark basalt]

finding all the zones is the easiest part

[tawny mason]

Nah, The lvl sub 150 Moose are Fine to leave

[stuck sigil]

I prob have. But now i need 10x drinkin lakes with 1 male and 2 female

[tawny mason]

You should prioritize 2's

But you wont really be able to Shut The whole map to 2's

[stuck sigil]

But most atleast

Also is these main zones good? If it atleast have 1 drinking zone with 1 male or female. Most lakes have like 5 drinking zones

[tawny mason]

Yeah, medved IS mostly pretty good

I wouldnt really use The zones in The Frozen River tho

Since there are spots where you Just fall off The map

[stuck sigil]

Ye i change that. And make it lvl 2. But i could use rest of the zones if they have atleast 1 drinking zone thats good. But lets say i 1 good drinking zone in mian zone and rest are bad. Do i make the bad beside low level?

[tawny mason]

I mean

You understand that The setups are based around The specific drinkzones, not The lakes, right?

[spark basalt]

ye

@hardy sentinel

explain

[stuck sigil]

Yes but all lakes has drinking zones

[tawny mason]

Ik

[stuck sigil]

So almost the same ngl

[hardy sentinel]

Explain what

[spark basalt]

yes, but you dont use all zones to grind on

[tawny mason]

But you setup in one of The drink zones from Said laks

[spark basalt]

grinding

[tawny mason]

Lake

[spark basalt]

just gridning

[hardy sentinel]

Again?💔

[tawny mason]

Not really

[stuck sigil]

I use 10 zone/ lakes

[spark basalt]

yes ziona, i thought you would of had ts on copy past

[hardy sentinel]

Please hold

I actually have a 500 word essay on this

Maybe a bit longer

Please hold

[tawny mason]

Lol

[spark basalt]

get ready to read about 500 words navytheif

[stuck sigil]

Well this is 100% right. Right? I clean most zone to lvl 1 and 2. I only keep lakes with drinking zones with 1 male and 2 femals or 2 male and 1 female as a main. So i will have 10 zones ish with these zones. All other drinking zones shoumd be as low lvl as possible for better odds

[hardy sentinel]

Step 1.) Find ALL your zones

The 1st step in any grind is to find all your zones for that species (now when I say all zones, I don't mean all drink, feed, and rest zones, I just mean drink zones. For animals who do not drink, only having all the zones for one particular zone time is enough, you don't need to find all the zones on all zone times ever). This is because having all zones will make your respawns consistent, while there isn't an exact reason as to why this happens, I, alongside a lot of ppl think that it's the game's way to force you to explore the map, so any zones that aren't found will receive respawns, instead of the zones you are grinding.

Step 2.) Picking the correct zones:

Picking the correct zones differs from one species to another, this will be specifically about Moose, since their zones are different from other species (in terms of animals in 1 zone). There are only a few amount of zone types for Moose, these being:

1 Female, 0 Males (solo)
0 Females, 1 Male (solo)
2 Females, 1 Male
2 Females, 2 Males
3 Females, 2 Males
1 Female, 1 Males
1 Female, 2 Males
1 Female, 3 Males
(A lot of males in 1 spot with no females is a zone with all solo animals, same goes for Females).

In cotw, there is a rule when it comes to respawns, this rule states that a zone can never recieve respawns again, if the zone is shot down to 1 animal. This means that if there is a zone with 1 Female and 1 Male, and I shoot 1 of them, the zone will never get respawns again, and that one animal will essentially be a solo animal.

There may be times where you may see a lot of Moose in 1 zone, for example: 4 Males and 6 Females. That zone is made up of multiple different herds, and potentially solos. These zones are not great for setting up, as you may unknowingly shoot a zone down to 1 animal, causing it to never get respawns again.

With all this information, the best zones to set up on are:
2 Males, 2 Females
1 Male, 2 Females

Max character limit, more to come.

Now while they are both great, the 1 Male, 2 Females zone is better in end, as it is more consistent with its respawns. Sometimes, the 2 Male, 2 Females zones can "break", causing it to lose 1 of its males, and sometimes both of them.

3.) Setting up on zones:

Ideally, you should set up on at least 8 zones, however, setting up on more is ok. For Moose in particular, I'd say setting up on 10 - 12 zones might actually be better than 8, as not only will you be more) shooting more Moose, but you'll be spending a little bit more time on each run, which ia great to go against the respawn timer. In these zones, you will be setting up in the following way:

Place a tent at least 230 metres (252 yards) away from the zone, to ensure that the animals won't flee when you go to the tent.

Then, place a tripod/blind. This can be anywhere from right outside the tent to about 150 metres, anything closer and the animals will probably be either alert, alarmed, or already fleeing.

A pick-up tent. This tent will be put on top of the zone itself, to save you time from walking/using an atv to the zone. (If set up on more than 8 zones, a pick-up tent can't be used on every zone, due to the 16 tent limit on each zone.

4.) Gun selection: The Best guns to use when going for Moose are: .375, Arzyna .300, Canning .300, .338 Bolt, and the 7mm bolt (from best to worst, all are good).

All of those are paid dlc, if you do not own them, then the single shot 7mm, and the single shot .338 will also work, however, you'll probably need to set up on only 1 Male herds to make it easier for you.

Now I have an explanation on herd managment, ik you don't want to use herd managment, but this is here for whoever would like to

HM grind: This one is complicated to explain, first you're gonna use all 16 tents on 16 different zones, 8 zones you want as main zones and 8 you want as exteriors. Now you're gonna wanna shoot all the deer at all 16 zones like normal (For now you want have pickup tents)the difference is that this time you're gonna stack the diamonds in your main zones(Stacking meaning to leave them alive), while you're doing this you're also going to be leaving the animal you're targeting in your exteriors zones to the level below, depending on its max level

Max level 3 = Shoot down to level 1
Max level 5 = Shoot down to level 2 or 1
Max level 9 = Shoot down to 4 and under.

You need to repeat this process until all of the deer at the exterior zones are at the level/s I mentioned above.

Once you get an exterior zone to low levels, pick that tent up and move it to another exterior zone, repeat this process until all your exteriors are shot down to low level animals. After you do this, you can shoot all the stacked diamonds in your main zones. When you run out of exteriors to set up on, you can now start using those tents and start using them as pick up tents.

I hope this makes sense

😭

[hardy sentinel]

953 words

😭

[hardy sentinel]

No😭

It's all your fault

[spark basalt]

i can probably fit that in 1 message

[tawny mason]

Damm

[hardy sentinel]

I said this lmao

[stuck sigil]

Was what i said right. Also i do need to explore whole map right? I will read tmr the essay

[spark basalt]

OMG

[tawny mason]

Why not 1000?

[hardy sentinel]

I can't

[spark basalt]

IM SO STUPID

[stuck sigil]

Can you dm the essay lol

[hardy sentinel]

Got it

[spark basalt]

😭

damn it

i mean

i did it in one message

[tawny mason]

Yes, you do

[wary gulch]

Better odds at what exactly?

[spark basalt]

ffs

it makes it this

[wary gulch]

L

[spark basalt]

😭

[stuck sigil]

Last question of the day. Lets say i have 1 goos drinking zone i use as main but beside theres 4 other bad one. I make those low level right

[stuck sigil]

For diamonds and great1

[wary gulch]

Yes

[wary gulch]

HM doesnt increase great one odds only dime rate

[tawny mason]

Yes, every single zone that Isnt a main should be shot down

[stuck sigil]

That means lvl 1 and 2

[wary gulch]

Yes

[tawny mason]

G1 is pure luck

[stuck sigil]

Yes but could get super rare or smt

[wary gulch]

Yeah

[tawny mason]

Indeed

Thats the main reason to do hm

[stuck sigil]

Ye. But its faster to get it if i set up 100% right. Since i will kill faster

[wary gulch]

Not necessarily no

I kill faster without HM

The zones are just more refined with it

[stuck sigil]

So nothing affect luck for great 1 so actually dont need herde management

[tawny mason]

Yeah

[stuck sigil]

Well prob go for it still

[tawny mason]

My First 2 were sub 10 kills

[stuck sigil]

Damn

But tyy for help

Gtg now bye

So lvl 1 has same changw as great 1 as a lvl 5

[nimble smelt]

excuse me what

[tawny mason]

What?

[tawny mason]

Yeah

Phes and fox

[stuck sigil]

.

[tawny mason]

Phes i got 1 hour'ish after It released

[nimble smelt]

I despise you for that

[tawny mason]

Fox was a respawn from a lake Island method

[stuck sigil]

Right

[tawny mason]

That i Just tried The pair respawn

[tawny mason]

I dont understand the question tbh

[tawny mason]

And It showed UP while checking raccoon

[hardy sentinel]

He's asking if a lvl 1 and lvl 5 have the same chance to respawn as a g1

[stuck sigil]

A lvl 1 moose has the same chance of spawning as a great one as a lvl 5 after i kill them

[tawny mason]

I dont have Bear after 7k kills Tho, If that conforts you

[wary gulch]

Yes but also no

[stuck sigil]

Do u kbow

[tawny mason]

Ooooh

Got it

[hardy sentinel]

Yes but also no

[stuck sigil]

Hmmm whats that suppose to mean

[tawny mason]

I mean, The g1s i got were from low levels

[wary gulch]

If you kill 12 level 1’s in a run there is such a small amount of score put into the respawn pool its hard for a GO to come out of that

Since they score fairly high

[dry path]

you sure thats how it works?

[wary gulch]

Yes

[stuck sigil]

Ohhhh ye. But then herd management could affect how fast you get great since you will kill higher levels

[wary gulch]

Without HM you’re still putting a lot of score into the respawn pool

[dry path]

has this been confirmed by any official?

[wary gulch]

They would never confirm something like that

[tawny mason]

There isnt any confirmation about g1s overall

[stuck sigil]

But its more to the pool with herde managemebt tho

So technically its better

Chances

[tawny mason]

But If theres someone i trust about g1s/grinding IS this man

[wary gulch]

You cant change the odds of a set spawn percentage, look at it like a rare deer… completely random and nothing influences their spawns to be better or worse besides rng

[tawny mason]

Both him and zona

[stuck sigil]

Oh okay so its the same odds for great one with or without herde management. But if i want super rare or diamonds i should do the management

[wary gulch]

Yeah

[tawny mason]

Zacky

[wary gulch]

Yes?

[tawny mason]

I talked about this once with zona

Wanna know your opinion

Bout g1

Where some people treat It like

Just a bigger Dime

[stuck sigil]

So its tehnically like a rare fur type.

[wary gulch]

Yeah

In a sense

[tawny mason]

Which doesnt make sense for some of them

Imo

[wary gulch]

Spider rack moose

[tawny mason]

From what i understand

[wary gulch]

GO red deer

[tawny mason]

Exactly

[wary gulch]

Saw fallow

All small

[tawny mason]

ITS like

[stuck sigil]

Well ty guys bye gtg

[wary gulch]

bye👋

[tawny mason]

Its both a heavier animal Than dimes

Except phes

Of course

But at The same time, a rare

But

ITS like It doesnt get scrambled at normal spawns like a sr

[wary gulch]

HM seems to be more weight than score based, cuz ibuy leaves things based on weight rather than level or score

A spider rack moose will knock the dime rate off by quite a bit even though it scores the same as most lvl 3’s but it weighs about 40kg more than a max weight dime

[tawny mason]

And even that can change based on certain animals

[wary gulch]

Yeah

[tawny mason]

Reds mostly

[wary gulch]

Red GO dont weigh much more than most dimes

[tawny mason]

Ik

But

[wary gulch]

Same with wt

Big rack wt doesnt do a whole lot to dime rate

[tawny mason]

The trophy range for Max weight is pretty big for them

[wary gulch]

Ye

[tawny mason]

IS It The highest scoring?

[wary gulch]

Yeah

Scores 630s on avg

[tawny mason]

Isnt Dime 250ish?

[wary gulch]

255.09

[tawny mason]

Im confused then

[wary gulch]

GO whitetail weigh about 6-8kg more than a max weight dime

[stuck sigil]

Hmm why has lvl 1 and lvl 5 same odds for great1? Lvl5 is closer. Sorry just thought about this when i went away

[wary gulch]

Every animal has roughly a 1 in 2000 odds at becoming a GO when killed

[tawny mason]

Dont think about g1 as something above dime

But something else entirety

[wary gulch]

Unless you dont pick the animal up then it has no odds

[stuck sigil]

Ohhh okay tyy

Mby more like fur types. Since fur type cant change odds

[stuck sigil]

Also how does anyonw find this out

[wary gulch]

I cant really state how it was found out from the community due to it being against the rules

[stuck sigil]

Okay one last question i understand if i am annoying. But why is it a bad zone if it has 1 male and like 4 females?

[tawny mason]

Zone breaks more easily

More Common for The male to jump to another zone

And Moose jump a lot

[stuck sigil]

Dang. It isnt a problem with 1 male 2 female, 2 male 1 female zone? Or do they still jump

[tawny mason]

3 Animals zones tend to be more consistent for moose

That only aplies to Moose tho

[hard basin]

Usually how many kills it takes before a great one spawns, but it’s a mystery really. I got a great one tahr by just hunting around the mountains on Te Awaroaa while so it was some type of grind, but i can’t have killed more than 300, and that’s including females

[stuck sigil]

Ngl is it even worth settinng up a grind

[tawny mason]

Yes?

Why wouldnt It be

[hard basin]

This depends on how you want to play: imo it ruins my gameplay experience

[dry path]

i asked this question myself beacuse it felt like the whole HM process is annoying but trust me getting that Great one and maybe some nice diamonds is such a rewarding thing (i got my Great one today)

[tawny mason]

Why would It ruin anything?

[dry path]

devalues diamonds ig

[stuck sigil]

Well great1 wont be easier with hm but diamobds will tho

[hard basin]

For me, sitting and just shooting a bunch of animals around zones ruins my immersion

[tawny mason]

So does having multiple diamonds?

[dry path]

I know but along the way you can get some cool diamonds

[tawny mason]

Oooh

[stuck sigil]

Ye thats true. Spend 20 hours setting up and set up wrong lol

[dry path]

Im aware i dont think grindin ruins anything but thats the only real arguement that speaks against grinding

[tawny mason]

Dont feel like cotw IS the best for imersion but ye

[stuck sigil]

Well now actually im going

[jade garden]

When doing a mulie grind should i use hm?

[tawny mason]

I mean

You want more diamonds?

[jade garden]

Yes but im looking to get a great one

[tawny mason]

Hm doesnt affect g1 spawn rate

[jade garden]

So what should i do to get a g1 to spawn?

[tawny mason]

Grind Said species?

[jade garden]

So should i use pickup tents and just shoot a couple zones repetitavily?
