How do people get so many rares with herd management wtf, I’m struggling to get one every 500 kills

#

The only time I got a shit ton was when I was shooting every stag I saw

strong thorn
#

Rares don't appear from HM

tiny kestrel
#

I know they don’t, I’m just wondering how they still manage to get a lot of rares regardless

#

its because I’m Canadian isn’t it 😤

Hey Cash

#

Guess who’s grinding for a second red deer GO

grim spindle
#

Yo dad

rigid forge
#

hi

tiny kestrel
#

7th diamond has been stacked

#

I dont know if stacking has had any effects yet tbh

#

As soon as I see the 10th diamond ima purge them all

rigid forge
#

@tiny kestrel

tiny kestrel
#

Cash I know what it does

#

I’m just noting that I haven’t seen the effects that stacking supposedly causes take effect yet

#

Thanks regardless though

#

Wait a minute. You’re supposed to be shooting the 4s and 5s after you stack diamonds

#

oh so that’s what I’ve been doing wrong

#

@rigid forge so, let me get this right. You stack a bunch of level 9s (not the crab racks), then shoot your 4s and 5s to get them to respawns as 2/3s. After you get a lot of those, you then shoot the level nines and get back to grinding as normal?

rigid forge
#

i think the idea is to shoot everything that's not a 9 so they respawn as smoler things

#

then leave the very smol things alone

tiny kestrel
#

I’ve been doing that for the past 450 kills today lol

rigid forge
#

šŸ¤”

#

@full cave you explain it

tiny kestrel
#

My understanding of is you build up level 9s to make 2-3s spawn in bulk, then purge the 9s and the opposite effect takes place where higher levels start spawning in bulk

rigid forge
#

of course, there is always the tried and true method of just cleaning house each time

tiny kestrel
#

I’ve done that before and it didn’t really work out for me

rigid forge
#

that's kinda the method to use for grinding rares tho

#

like if you wanna get rares quickly

tiny kestrel
#

I started herd management at around 4500 kills and almost tripled my previous diamond count between 4500-5700 kills

#

Purge method burns through my ammunition ridiculously fast unfortunately and I make very little profit compared to herd management

#

At this point I’m mainly just grinding for money lmao

#

If herd management doesn’t provide anything for a while I’ll switch back to purge method

diamond stacking

tiny kestrel
#

Sick he’s here

full cave
#

ohhhh...what do you all need to know?

tiny kestrel
#

How it works

#

How many diamonds should I stack

#

When should I shoot them

full cave
#

well stacking high levels is really so you can shoot mids and push them low.

#

there is no real set number on how many you should stack - but you should watch your spawns and number of shooters.

#

for bears you want to be down to 10-20 shooters including the stacked 9s.

tiny kestrel
#

What about for red deer?

full cave
#

um...that number i dont really know. im on a red deer grind and im going to shoot for 30ish.

tiny kestrel
#

Alright

#

Thanks for explaining it to me

full cave
#

give me a second and ill be able to give you some more attention

tiny kestrel
#

Oh sick

full cave
#

ok - sorry.

tiny kestrel
#

You’re fine

full cave
#

so im shooting for 30ish. but i dont know the number you should hit yet. what you want to do is watch your spawns. when you start seeing them pinball - meaning they go up and down and up and down and not consistently moving in one direction. then thats when you take your 9s and start rotating shooters.

#

obviously youll always have spawns go up or down so you just need to pay close attention. especially with that many shooters.

#

just judge your overall spawn pool as you rotate and recognize when you've hit the point where your spawns are acting in that way across the board.

tiny kestrel
#

Alright, gotcha

#

Thanks dude

I ain’t spending another $300 nzd on another one I’m to broke

#

Ahh fuck it one more run

#

Holy crap 612 stags in one day

#

12 of which have been level 9s

tiny kestrel
#

Well that’s strange

#

I shot a level 9 on the run twice and got two vital hits right? I pick him up and turns out the second shot was lumbar vertebrae, and as far as I can recall the vertebrae aren’t vitals

#

I’m sure I didn’t hit any other vitals as well, the shot info said flesh, pelvis and lumbar vert.

#

I wish I could get a diamond melanistic red deer ngl and a diamond melanistic whitetail

Probably my two most wanted super rares

Melanistics look so damn good

#

Easily my favourite fur type in the game

tiny kestrel

Over 800 stags in one day

I should probably go to sleep

After nearly 1000 kills of nothing truly good, I’m going back to purge method. It’s less diamonds but I have enough of those, I just want those rares šŸ‘½

#

Do I need all my zones to start my grind cause I’m struggling to find all of them for red deer

full cave
#

its definitely best so you know where to look to find your spawns. most people i have seen say dont shoot until you find them all, but i shoot away as im exploring the map. just stay within the band youre targeting while youre finding zones.

#

so id say if you havent found them all you can start shooting if you havent yet, but dont stop looking for them and really try and not nuke.

confirmed straight from Jaxy on-stream: stacking does NOT affect diamond chances.

I guess it's up to you are you willing to grind or not

If not maybe lower expectations on how many results you are going to get

Reseting your game to get more results in less time is kind of cheating so maybe play multiplayer

It's similar result and it's not cheating

But it has downsides

I’ve never heard a more true statement

No grind is fun. At most they’re bearable

strong thorn

It's the worst part of the game but it's a big part of the game

tiny kestrel
#

I feel like Great Ones are to blame for the whole grinding aspect

#

Plus how respawns in general work

wicked rose
tiny kestrel
#

True but I hate how it takes away from the whole hunting aspect of this game

#

Instead of stalking down an animal you only caught a glimpse of to get a good shot on it, you’re endlessly slaughtering animals in the most efficient way possible by fast travelling around the map to different zones

#

Don’t get me wrong. Grinding is well worth it and I can always just go on hunts like I’ve just describe but one is far more rewarding whilst the other is much more inconsistent with trophies

#

On that note, just passed 7000 kills

# shadow grail Imma start grinding for GO (wt on rancho) any tips? (Like how many animals I sho...

There’s two methods for grinding;
Purge method and herd management.

Purge method is where you shoot either every male in a zone or simply every animal in a zone. This method is better for getting rares as the odds of one of your animals spawning in as a rare increase because more animals are respawning.

Herd management is where you only shoot the higher level animals and leave the low levels alive. This is meant to cause an imbalance on your map because there’s too many low levels males, therefore the game spawns in overall bigger males to balance it out. It’s far easier with animals that max at level 9 but it’s possible with WT. Herd management is better for spawning diamonds because the odds of a max level male spawning are higher

#

Purge method gives you higher overall kills per run, herd management gives you better overall males per run at the cost of having less kills per run

I will say grinding is easier now, which I don't care for.. too many diamonds compared to how it used to be

I kinda want to grind reds again but I really don't neeeed a other red go

#

See how it is to see daylight lol

vapid escarp

it's much better, granted I got my 3 reds from cuatro and decided to try Te. legit only had the right side of the map and hit up all the spots with the reds I could to see what I could do. clearly it works fine

I still do need a gold of albino and mela tho interestingthonking

Get a complete collection

I hope I never have to put a rare in my troll room

that would be painful

pliant oak

congrats on the super rare looks šŸ˜Ž

#

would take that over a GO any day

somber turret
#

I wish the showing up to zones on time was wacky as hell

#

Is there any way to make that better?

pliant oak
#

animals travel some further distances than others

#

so go 30 mins to 1 hr into the need zone time

#

then most animals if hunting pressure is clear will be there

#

some places like layton can be a bit random sometimes though

somber turret
#

See I just started to get them at 8 on 6am zones that's even rebooting the game

full cave
# somber turret Is there any way to make that better?

I usually do a split rotation every couple of runs. So do 1/2 my lakes twice in the same rotation - then the other half twice in the next. Clear shooters that come in late off the map then back to full rotations. (For red deer). On TA I start at 7:30 and go to 10:00ish.

#

If you’re doing bears on 2 lakes then I’d just start later in the zone time. Then do the spit rotation for full map runs when you need to starting at an earlier time.

pliant oak
#

TE i start 8 30 just cover a selection of lakes then restart the time to 8 30

you make so much money collecting it dont really matter and you hunting in prime time

Alrighty thanks yall I thinking of doing 8-10 runs and claim here and there I got 48 on my test run from what I had set up from my last and a tent on the river all east of the mountains so I might do a few runs everytime play and see what happens

At one point I went 700 kills without a diamond, another I went almost 1400 kills without a rare

You’ll 100% have times when luck just ain’t on your side and you won’t get anything for several hundred kills, but keep pushing on it’ll be worth it

if you shoot 6 and above it doesnt take long especially on TE

im trying something new with red deer for science. shooting 3-7s. leaving 8s and 9s.

dunno what its gonna do...but im thinking...if the herd management meta is to shoot x-9 to get bigger...then...if i shoot only smaller i should spawn smaller, right?

I could use some advice

I’m only on the 4th run of my revontuli whitetail grind and 5 of the 11 lakes Im grinding have become doe only lakes. Has anyone figured out a solution yet

Don’t shoot all the males in a zone

Either leave 1-2 males or shoot all the does too

Shoot 6 and up

Do hers management

#

It increases your spawn rate

white swan

Is this confirmed or speculation

It’s not confirmed

But

I’ve seen

And killed

Multiple diamonds and rares

It's dumb to get upset about rng and my grind has slowed down immensely

#

and it's not that I'm jealous of people getting it, but more that I'm at this point where it's "cmon already"

#

what's interesting about great ones compared to other grinds ive done in other games is that the lack of progress really messes with my motivation

final eagle
#

It's honestly just a waiting game tbh, I had over 7k kills on ps on rancho and Layton combined and best I had was a 271 I think it was whitetail. The rng can be horrible but ya can't let it stop u

tiny kestrel
#

I got through my near 6000 kill grind by watching YT videos and binging shows

#

I fully recommend watching Clone Wars. Got me through nearly 2k kills

crude spindle
#

Yeah YouTube and music for sure make it better

#

I guess for me what’s making this interesting is that I’m not much of a hunter, and I’m slightly excited to move on to other games

#

Just thought the great one red would be the ultimate prize

tiny kestrel
#

You’d think so

#

But I feel even more tempted to grind each day thinking about how I could get a second. Or a third. Or a fourth… a fifth… you get the idea

I’m glad Way of the Hunter is out so I can go on proper hunts and not be drawn back into grinding countless hours
