All I need is mela and albino sr, but that’s is a lot harder than it sounds

tiny kestrel
#

I’d grind tf outta red deer again if they release a fabled white fur type

full cave
#

True

tiny kestrel
#

Another level 9

#

That’s 5 in two runs

full cave
#

Spicy

tiny kestrel
#

Scratch that

#

It’s 6 now

#

7 actually wtf

#

72 kills today, 7 diamond so far

#

That’s a diamond every 10 kills

#

I’ve hit Scarecrow numbers lol

full cave
#

10% spawn rate

tiny kestrel
#

Using fractions is easier for stating spawn rates I find

#

As opposed to percentages

full cave
#

They’re the same thing

tiny kestrel
#

Less precise but easier to understand

full cave
#

1/10 is the EXACT same as 10%

tiny kestrel
#

I know, but it’s easier for people to comprehend when you say 1/10 as opposed to 10% spawn rate

full cave
#

This is really pointless to get into, so let’s not lol

tiny kestrel
#

I’ve got nothing more interesting to do so

#

Let’s argue about fractions and percentages 😼

full cave
#

Well maybe not in this chat?

tiny kestrel
#

I’m joking you silly

full cave
#

Oh okay

#

I was ready to have a pointless debate elsewhere lmao

tiny kestrel
#

Sarcasm is hard to convey through text that’s myb

full cave
#

Nah you good I get in trouble for people not understanding my sarcasm quite often

tiny kestrel
#

Third run, let’s see how many diamonds I get out of it

#

Hopefully one is an albino or smn

full cave
#

You’re gonna have a group of 4 stags and 3 of them are gonna be 271+ diamonds and the other is gonna be a lvl 4 albino

tiny kestrel
#

You say this like I wouldn’t appreciate any of those trophies

full cave
#

But the pain of one of the big dimes not being the albino

tiny kestrel
#

True true

#

Dude honestly idc how big the SR is I just want it to score diamond

#

And be an albino/piebald of course

full cave
#

I just hope mine is decently symmetrical, and with recent developments I have a theory

tiny kestrel
#

How funny would it be if an SR spawns and it’s both a mela and has the same uneven rack my first one does

#

Ah do state your theory friend

full cave
#

So my theory is that EW has been working on fixing the animals that are overwhelming unsymmetrical and that score too estimate when rare

#

The basis for my theory is that recently we have been seeing that whitetail haven’t been scoring top estimate and they have been being symmetrical, and as of today I have seen several rare red deer that were symmetrical, I can’t confirm if they scored top estimate or not tho

tiny kestrel
#

Jeffrey scored like 185 and his top estimate was 219. He was asymmetrical however

full cave
#

I also had a theory that the species that were affected by the bug that caused uneven rares and top estimate scoring only affected the larger scoring animals of that species

#

So like a lvl 4 red deer would usually be symmetrical while a lvl 8 red deer would usually be asymmetrical

tiny kestrel
#

Well it would have something to do with how many racks and variations of those racks there are for a given level

tiny kestrel
#

My level 7 mela that I kept around for a bit

somber turret
#

Ohhh

tiny kestrel
#

Put some respect on his name

full cave
somber turret
#

That sounds like a pig I had when I was grinding on Cuatro

#

I passed that little bastard every time I did a run and then the night before the population reset I killed him and taxed him

full cave
#

Obviously this is a pretty shallow theory, time will tell tho

tiny kestrel
#

I’ve seen 2-3 different racks for level 6 stags, meaning there ain’t that many possible combos for the given rack it has, whereas level 9s have upwards of 5 with different variations of those racks, giving more possibilities

#

Perhaps it just chooses at random what combo it’ll be and you just gotta hope it lands on a symmetrical combo

#

Who knows how truRACS works

full cave
#

True

#

I am excited to get my next rare tho

tiny kestrel
#

I’ve noticed that after the Revontuli update my rare luck has been worse

#

I have a theory kicking around in the back of my mind

#

I have absolutely no way to determine whether it’s true or not but it sounds like something that’s actually true
The theory itself is that each player has their own multiplier for rare, diamond and GO spawn rates

#

Like, for example, @full cave how many kills are you at and how many GOs are you at?

full cave
#

I don’t know for certain how many kills I’m at. It could be as low as 18k and it could be as high as 29k, but I have 14 GO red deer

tiny kestrel
#

Let’s take the average of that, 21.5k
That means you have a GO every 1535 kills

#

Your GO multiplier would be higher than mine, because mine’s at about 1/5689

#

Each person has their own personal multiplier applied to a base spawn rate of, in this example, 1/5000

#

And with each update this could be changed, with each game reset it’s changed, etc

#

Ain’t the most intricate theory out there but it’s pretty believable

full cave
#

I really hope that theory isn’t accurate. The thought that some people have better spawn rates is terrifying. Just sounds so unfair

tiny kestrel
#

I wouldn’t be surprised if that is the case

#

Either I’m just incredibly unlucky or it isn’t a coincidence that some people get a rare every 100-250 kills whilst for others it’s 1/1000+ kills

#

I just find it hard to believe that spawn rates are the exact same for everyone

full cave
#

My theory is that certain rares have different spawn rates, but they all fall under certain categorizations. For example, red deer have 3 accepted rare fur types which are piebald, albino, and mela. Piebald would be classified as a rare while albino and mela are classified as very rare. I think that they also have a 3rd very rare fur type which is Fabled Spotted. Following this logic i think that when someone hits the spawn for a very rare the game then randomly selects between mela, albino, and Fabled Spotted to see which on spawns in. This would somewhat explain why some people see much high numbers of GOs and other see higher numbers of mela and albinos

tiny kestrel
#

That’s interesting to think about

#

Now, how would that work for whitetail? Whose fur type is usually one of the common furs

full cave
#

That’s true, my guess is that for them the GO antlers are classified as the rare? And then they also get a secondary roll for what fur type they will have?

tiny kestrel
#

Perhaps

#

Or, what if WT were originally planned to have their own fur type; fabled piebald. The spawn system working the same way as you theorize it does but whenever it lands on fabled piebald it bugs out and spawns them as a common fur type?

full cave
#

Kinda like the opposite of red deer if you think about it. Red deer would be the fur is the rare and then a secondary roll for the antlers, whitetail would be that the GO antlers are the rare and then a secondary roll for the fur type?

tiny kestrel
#

Also, if that is indeed the case, then we should be seeing a lot more BB great ones as they have 5 different fur types with 2 variations of one, meaning the odds of one spawning from a very rare roll would be higher than say fabled piebald

full cave
tiny kestrel
#

Crazy to me that EW has such an intricate system that it’s entire (non modding) player base can’t figure it out

full cave
#

Maybe for bears the rare spawn is tied to weight class? Or maybe they just have 10 fabled as the rare spawn and then the secondary roll is for which fabled fur type it will have?

tiny kestrel
#

Whatever the spawn system may be, law of averages will kick in sooner or later and I’ll get the trophies I’m after

full cave
#

Yup

#

Someone just told me they got a lvl 8 mela. They said that it is symmetrical but that it scored top estimate

tiny kestrel
#

Hmm

#

Tryna think of how a rare fur affects score estimate

#

I wonder what determines the score estimate of an animal

#

I imagine once we understand that then we’ll understand why rares score the way they do

full cave
#

I wonder if it’d be possible to get confirmation from a developer if they have been working this

tiny kestrel
#

Is pinging Jaxy against the rules?

#

Was wondering if he could drop a hint for us lol

full cave
#

Tomorrow morning there is an EW stream, right? Maybe we could try asking then

tame lark
#

I’ve always thought great ones spawned like normal animals

full cave
#

I don’t know why, but that has confused my brain. Can you elaborate?

tame lark
#

And yes, tomorrow is a stream

tiny kestrel
#

I feel as though it’s the opposite. GOs don’t seem to be affected by the population’s collective size

tame lark
#

When an animal respawns it gets a random rack, fur type and weight but Idk if that’s the case

#

Obviously that only works with truracs species

full cave
tiny kestrel
#

Hmm

tame lark
#

I’m not sure order would really effect anything

tiny kestrel
#

An idea popped into my head

#

What if, the population of a certain animal you’ve got on your map and their levels have a direct effect on spawn rate as opposed to kinda nudging it like we believe it currently does

full cave
#

Well in my theory it would be fur type and then rack type for red deer

#

Just as an example

tame lark
#

Wdym by direct effect?

tiny kestrel
#

For example, the game takes the number of each amount of levels on your map, averages it out and then applies it somehow to the spawn rate

full cave
#

I already thought it had a direct effect, just not a huge one

#

What if it has nothing to do with level? What if it’s based on the average weight of the animals? What about average score?

tame lark
#

I don’t think that’s the case, but that’s just my opinion

#

Idk about that either

full cave
#

Neither do we, all just curiosities really

tame lark
#

My theory is still that’s it’s just pure luck

tiny kestrel
#

Like, if you have 100 level 4s, 25 level 6s, 15 level 7s and 10 level 8s, average it out and then divide by 100000, you get 1260. That’s your GO spawn chance, 1/1260 for that set of respawns. Again, wild theory but it’s fun to think about

full cave
tame lark
tiny kestrel
#

I’m just seeking to find out if there’s a pattern in it

full cave
#

Idk what I’m seeking

tame lark
#

The more I try and explain what I was trying to say the more it seems dumb

full cave
#

Happens to the best of us

tiny kestrel
full cave
tame lark
#

We can know for almost certainty that shooting big stags doesn’t help with great ones, right?

full cave
#

Yeah, just about

tame lark
#

Well directly help

tiny kestrel
#

I think it’s less about shooting big stags and more so just having lower level stags on your map

tame lark
#

That’s what I meant

tiny kestrel
#

Yeah

tame lark
#

I remember a little bit ago there was a theory that shooting every single whitetail helped with the great one, has that been debunked?

full cave
tame lark
#

That’s my thoughts

tiny kestrel
full cave
#

I think in order to give your self the best chance at spawning a GO all you can do is increase the speed at which you kill the males.

tame lark
#

That is what I believe but since we’re speculating...

tiny kestrel
#

Let’s say you shoot 1000 stags, and the spawn rate for a GO is 1/1000. That means that 1 of those thousand stags could be a great one

#

Now, let’s say you increase that to 2000 stags. The percentage is still the same, but now 2 out of the 2000 stags you shot could to be a GO

full cave
#

That means that the average spawn rate should be 1/1000

tame lark
#

Yes, that’s simple math

tiny kestrel
#

Another 9

#

That’s eight diamonds today so far

full cave
#

Which could mean that you go 500,000 kills without a GO but then get 500 in a row. Still averages out to 1/1000

tiny kestrel
#

Mhm

tame lark
#

I’m still gonna stick with the ā€œroll of the diceā€ theory until something else is brought forward that makes sense

full cave
#

I wonder if EW has statistic on the average spawn rate of GOs from the playerbase

tame lark
#

I’m sure they do

tiny kestrel
#

Yeah, my theory is that there’s a set spawn rate for GOs just like rares and you kinda just gotta get lucky

full cave
#

Yup, same here

tiny kestrel
#

It’s still fun to speculate what it could be though, some theories are better in principle than others but they’re all fun to think about

tame lark
#

For example, I went 1400 kills with one piebald but in back to back runs I got pies. Seems to support luck

full cave
#

I do agree that it seems most likely that rares and GOs are just roll of the dice luck

tame lark
#

Now, are the racks decided by luck aswell?

tiny kestrel
#

Yes

tame lark
#

Do you think they all have an even chance at spawning or are some rarer than others?

full cave
#

Yeah, I would think so

tiny kestrel
#

Levels 1-9 are definitely affected by herd management but what rack specifically a particular level spawns as is pure random

tame lark
#

That’s what I’ve seen

tiny kestrel
#

Ron did have a theory that racks do affect eachother though

tame lark
#

How?

full cave
#

The wiry lvl 8 rack seems to be the rarest for red deer

tame lark
#

I meant great ones not overall

#

Some normal racks are definitely rarer than others

full cave
#

I think both have different rarity racks

tiny kestrel
#

Look up ā€œdo racks matterā€ on Ron’s channel. He explained it pretty well there

full cave
#

For red deer it seem like the mid rack is the rarest while small and big seem about equal

tame lark
#

And for whitetail there’s one rack I didn’t even knew existed until a couple days ago

full cave
#

Well you only have 1 don’t you?

tiny kestrel
#

I have 3 mid racks

full cave
#

Oh geez

#

Yeah not for you apparently lmao

tiny kestrel
#

Well, 2 and a half

tame lark
#

A half?

tiny kestrel
#

One is uneven with the 250s rack

tame lark
#

I didn’t realize red deer GOs could be wonky

tiny kestrel
#

Any antlered GO can be wonky

#

OH MY GOD

#

I just got another 270+

#

Max weight too

#

Eh, it scored the exact same as my other 3 it’s not that special anymore

#

It’s a nice motivational boost though

full cave
#

Yup, that’s the small little goals I always talk about

tiny kestrel

Aight ima do one more run then let my tablet charge otherwise I won’t be able to count kills

#

So I have a request to everyone in this channel. If you find a rare red deer can you take note of the trophy estimate before you kill it and then when you post the harvest screen share with us the trophy estimate? Also, would you take a screenshot of the truscore screen with one of the score categories highlighted to show if the rack is truly symmetrical or not? Thank you!

tiny kestrel
#

Will do

#

If I get the chance to grind today that is

He's gonna stay there for some time, cuz I don't want to train for another special shot right now.
I actually trained for the bow shot like 15 hours and it was an incredible shot but I just want to grind a little more and watch some series besides that.

I feel that

good run there 50 ish red deer down 8 mythicals lots of 6s and 7s lets see what respawns

#

Ok

#

The recent rare whitetail that have been not scoring top estimate and also being even could just be a huge coincidence, but I still want to see if red deer are seeing similar changes.

#

So far it doesn’t really appear that they have, but I’ve seen a few symmetrical rare red deer so I’m curious

@tame solar what are the chances you get 2 rares with the exact same mismatch rack that's really cool congrats I love them

tiny kestrel
#

Welp, time to get a few red deer kills

#

Hoping I can get a GO within the next week

#

I believe I’ve surpassed 5770 kills since my last great one, making this the longest period of time I’ve grinded without getting a GO

wicked rose
#

Had anyone went hunting for the black bear GO since the last update?

tiny kestrel
#

I don’t think I’ve seen a single black bear GO since the update to SRP

#

Also, what’s with all these crab claw racks? I’ve seen three guaranteed trolls on the first run today

tiny kestrel
#

Okay, so I’ve noticed there’s a bunch of large stags coming in after like 9:30

#

Maybe this contributes somehow to my spawns

#

These guys being left completely alone after so long affecting my spawns just like the 4s do

#

Or I could be overthinking it and they’ve done nothing for my respawns

tiny kestrel
#

Holy shit I just saw a really really wide red deer

full cave
#

How wide?

tiny kestrel
#

very

#

Could this be my 271+?

#

Possibly

tiny kestrel
#

269.14

I was right about him being wide tho

#

Wide boi

#

Cmon man where’s this great one

#

Welp, diamond n°7

#

3rd run today

#

Damn another one

#

Yeah, I believe I’ve hit the sweet spot with my map. I’m getting 2-4 diamonds every single run

#

What’s with all the huge stags today? I’ve gotten four 267+ stags already

tiny kestrel
#

another 269

#

@full cave dude I’m getting everything but an SR or great one

full cave
#

I mean eventually it has to happen, right?

#

Also, I haven’t seen a mela on my red deer grind in well over 10k kills. I went to cuatro to try and get entries for Pro XCK’s comp and after a single run of ibex I got a mela… fml

tiny kestrel
#

Bruh

#

Also, I may or may not have whiffed the second 269 but I have so many high scoring stags it doesn’t bother me

full cave
#

I’ve killed I think 7 diamond ibex this evening. Maybe I’ll go do a run or two of red deer then go to bed

tiny kestrel
#

I’ve gotten 11 diamond red deer in 4 runs

#

Atleast I think it’s 4

#

Maybe 5

#

That’s pretty good

tiny kestrel
#

A 268 šŸ’€

What is with all these big stags today seriously

#

6 of my diamonds today have been over 267

Today is a lucky day I guess

Hopefully lucky enough to spawn a great one or something

@sharp tulip When you get the chance can you do a count of the stags on your map? I’d like to get some numbers from people on the amount of stags on their map

tiny kestrel
#

I believe it’s roughly 150 stags

#

It’s mostly the same for everybody

full cave
#

Mine has been 135 across multiple counts

#

I think Hannes has 139 on his map. Bro the idea that the size of peoples animal populations varies is not a pleasing one. This shouldn’t be something that varies between users imo

#

I have to stop staying up this late

tiny kestrel

I counted upwards of 146 whenever I’d purge my 4s every now and then

tiny kestrel
#

I guess the only reason I come back to COTW is so that I can get everything I want and not have to come back to it

#

Should I try stacking diamonds?

#

See how many I can build up?

lofty plume
tiny kestrel
#

Guess I’ll do that then

#

My record is 16 diamonds on my map at once

#

Currently have 2

lofty plume
#

I am at 25 level 3 whitetail right now on Revontuli. I think a couple are borderline for dime though.

#

3 pie, 2 albino, 1 GO and all those 3s stacked in 2300 kills.

#

No mela yet.

tiny kestrel
#

What does your Revontuli setup look like?

hoary sphinx
#

what does your run look like🤯

lofty plume
#

Looks like a lot of skipping around zones full of 3s. Finding the odd low level 2 here and there. My exterior zones still have some that need to be shot down to 1s.

#

I will say this though. It is looking to shape up into the most insane whitetail grind. Once I rotate on these 3s, it will be a factory.

tiny kestrel
#

So, you know how a lot of level 4s mean more high level spawns?

#

Does stacking level 9s cause the opposite effect?

#

I theorized it did but I don’t have any proof it does

lofty plume
#

That’s something I think people don’t really understand about herd management. It’s the exact reason I do it. I have been doing it for months. Proven. Stack max level animals as many as you can to shoot the rest down to low levels.

tiny kestrel
#

Ah cool

#

I just didn’t know myself whether it worked or not

lofty plume
#

Yeah, so on Rev with 25 level 3s, and a big rack GO. Almost everything else is already level 1. Except a few I’m still working on.

I killed a albino with the .300 earlier

tiny kestrel

What animal

full cave
#

Red

#

Only a 6 wasnt to upset

tiny kestrel
#

Oh well, only a 265

#

I have maybe 4-5 dozen stags thatve scored higher than him

#

Where great one

tiny kestrel
#

Just passed 250 diamonds

#

17.5k+ kills

#

To think I wanted to stop grinding after 5000 kills

somber turret
#

Lol

#

Why don't you hurt something else to take a break?

#

Before you get severely burnt out if you ain't already

tiny kestrel
#

You have no clue how burnt out I am

#

I’ve been working on setting up whitetail on Layton

somber turret
#

Ayy

tiny kestrel
#

Whitetail still seem to have slightly inconsistent spawns

#

I might just go with purging bucks for the whitetail grind

#

Ooh I just had an idea for what I might take the GO with

#

If 20ga slugs reach up to class 6 ima use the double barrel 20 gauge iron sights

somber turret
#

A friend of mine has took every one of his great ones except maybe one with the 12 gauge over under

tiny kestrel
#

Wow

#

I might actually do that

somber turret
#

I know both red deer and a white tail I think he took his first one with a normal rifle because it shocked the hell out of him

tiny kestrel
#

I’ve already taken one GO with the 12ga slugs

somber turret
#

The 20 gauge would be cool

#

Maybe the 10 gauge?

tiny kestrel
#

Actually, my goal will be to take a GO with every shotgun

somber turret
#

410 birdshot giggles in background

tiny kestrel
#

Whenever a duck GO gets released I will absolutely take one with that

#

Also, recently, I’ve been using the M1 for a bit of nostalgia and good luck

#

Feels nice using it again honestly

#

Holy shit a level 7 mela

#

And he’s perfectly even oh my god

#

@full cave what did you want to know about the rares we find again?

#

Alright, so the mela scored 16 above his minimum estimate (193-239) and is perfectly even

plain raptor

@pale oracle I know you’re on red, but your status is giving me a stroke lol

Gonna have to wait till tomorrows vid xD

Gotta keep some things a surprise xD

Fair enough lmao

somber turret
tiny kestrel
#

Thanks bro

#

He’s one of very few perfectly even rares I have

#

It’s a huge motivation boost too

#

Only way it could’ve been better is if it was a level 9 lol

somber turret
#

But a wonky rack

#

;)

tiny kestrel
#

Hey lol I wonder what my SR looks like

#

Oh yeah

#

It’s a mela with a wonky rack

somber turret
#

Imagine if you got a other one with the reverse of that rack

tiny kestrel
#

I wouldn’t be too upset honestly

#

Would look cool in the entrance to my lodge

#

I don’t care for what rack it is, I just want an albino SR

That's how most of my experience with any animal has been like that

Getting a decent amount of progress down with whitetail

I have about 11 zones covered with only 3 tents

Scratch that, 13 zones with 4 tents

First level 3 of the grind :)

Oh what he trolled

bad introduction to whitetail grind

tiny kestrel

I’m finding it slightly more fun honestly

#

My plan is to grind both species at the same time

full cave
#

Breath of fresh air

tiny kestrel
#

Every 3 red deer runs I’ll do a whitetail run, to allow the inconsistent WT to respawn properly

#

Alright. I’ve bought 1000 .300 ammo and 2k .308 ammo

#

This should last me for a while

why dont u ever post ur trophies

Probably more than that honestly

I don’t think my theory is correct

glossy cove
#

Great one red deer number 7!!!

sharp tulip
sharp tulip
#

Isn't that your theory?

full cave
#

Kinda, my initial theory was that they ā€œfixedā€ red deer. I thought that since rare whitetail were starting to pop up as symmetrical and not scoring top est that red deer would as well. We have seen a few symmetrical rares from red deer recently which is way more than normal, but I don’t think they’ve been fixed

sharp tulip
full cave
#

It does seem like there is a pattern to them however. If they are asymmetrical then they will score top, if they are symmetrical they will score normally

sharp tulip
full cave
#

Yeah, I’m hoping that gets fixed

tiny kestrel

I’m still tryna get a second gold or better albino

Been 11k since my last wt firFine

tiny kestrel
#

My plan is to take a GO with every shotgun in the game. I’ve already done the cacciatore, next up will be the 20ga double barrel

glossy cove
#

Updated count

tame lark
#

I didn’t realize albinos were so rare until I got on discord

glossy cove
#

And melas

tame lark
#

I knew those were insanely rare

#

I feel like piebald female red deer have a higher spawn rate than males even though I know they don’t. I have like 9 piebald females and 3 males

tiny kestrel
#

If you don’t shoot females then the spawn rate is 0% 😼

tame lark
#

They’re all initial spawns and from multiplayer

#

I got 3 or 4 initial spawn piebald females from revontuli resets

full cave
#

Should i stack dimes on my map?

#

I get a dime every 30-60 kills

tiny kestrel
#

The only reason people stack anything is for fun

#

supposedly stacking diamonds helps spawn more diamonds but I believe that’s just confirmation bias and it doesn’t actually do anything

full cave
#

Ya im just tryna get my 2n red deer.

#

I've got 40 dimes and 8 rares so far

#

And like 12 trolls i think

full cave

Obviously this isn’t confirmed, but it’s what I believe

glossy cove
full cave
#

Do you get your 2nd g1 faster

#

My 1st was a inital spawn on cautro

high heath
#

its all luck

#

so it could be in 1 kill or in 10000

full cave
pliant oak
#

probably works either way

full cave
lofty plume
#

Stacking max levels is the way to produce low levels. Stacking is a herd managing tool that people don’t seem to understand.

high heath
#

its simple for me to understand

#

more 9s = spawns get pushed down lower
more lower levels = more 9s

pliant oak
#

then shoot 5 6 7 8

tame solar
#

@full cave just curious how many kills you got on red deer?

tame solar
full cave
full cave
lofty plume
#

I think common sense is relative. One thing that is common for another, can be alien to me lol. But you can explain herd management to people and them still not get it.

tame solar
#

He's still kinda confused lol

tiny kestrel
#

I’ve finally got some time to grind

#

Gonna get a few whitetail kills before I move on to red deer

#

How’s everybody else’s grind progress?

lofty plume
#

My Rev grind is looking almost done. Gonna have to do a once over and just double check all my exterior zones. But it’s almost time for Dime-apocalypse

#

I will be doing that tomorrow though, into my 12 hour work shift right now.

tiny kestrel

Hope it goes by quickly

Almost at 100 kills on my Layton grind

Can we talk about any grind of does it have to be Great one grinds

tiny kestrel
#

This channel is meant for GO grinds but it’s just become a channel to talk about any grind

wicked rose
#

I'm starting a Parqe grind to see if the animals there can be herd managed

lofty plume
#

All herd animals can be managed.

tiny kestrel
#

You can use herd management on any species

wicked rose
#

For lv5 diamond animals do you leave the lv2 and below or just lv1?

tiny kestrel
#

What’s up with my shooters I’m getting far fewer high level stags than before

#

Red deer are becoming about as inconsistent as whitetail for me

#

Nvm they’re back it just took a run for them to go back to normal again

wicked rose
#

(Besides Red deer, Whitetail, and Black bear.) What trophies did you get with herd management?

tiny kestrel
#

I don’t grind any other species lol

lofty plume
#

But I mostly stick to GO grinds. Up to 28 GO in the lodge, and one whitetail GO on the map still.

hidden pagoda
#

I’ve never touched herd management haha

tiny kestrel
#

Oh hey Sonic i passed 100 kills on the Layton grind

#

Watch me get a great one sub 1k

#

You’d think with how awful my red deer luck is I’d get a GO WT pretty quickly

tiny kestrel
#

Hey, first diamond!

#

258.7

glossy cove
#

Pretty much how mine went only flipped. 9k whitetails and only 1 go and no super rares. Not even a mela male off Rancho

lofty plume
#

My first time starting and grinding whitetail on Rancho was good. I pulled 3 GO in less than 5k. Pulled 2 more GO and a SR by 13k.

tiny kestrel
#

The Layton grind is slow but hella fun

#

All my respawns have been coming back as 2s or higher

#

Two level 3s so far, so about one level 3 per 50 kills which ain’t bad for now

#

And I’ve still got a few zones to go through at the bottom and centre of the map

hidden pagoda
#

But yeah Layton grind is fun, might be a little slower but 8-18 kills every 15 minutes or so isn’t bad haha

@full cave your theory of even rares scoring middle estimate of their estimate and unevens scoring top might actually be true

I’ve found 3 max level rares this year alone

Only one of them made diamond

I've literally never found one

not max level and sure as hell not diamond

tiny kestrel
#

Have you grinded anything whatsoever

#

It’s not a fun process but it makes it a little easier to get one

full cave
#

I've grinded red deer I actually enjoy them the best thing I got out of that is my 270+ red deer and the great one and I'm currently doing a whitetail grind I'm like 9 rares and 8 diamonds in

tiny kestrel
#

You got any great ones?

full cave
#

I got a black bear a red deer and a messed up whitetail but I'm hoping to get a second go red deer and another go whitetail that I don't mess up

tiny kestrel
#

You have a black bear GO? Jealous

full cave
#

the black bear was a initial spawn

#

and I'm glad it was because I'm not grinding them ever

#

at least not unless they make them better

#

it's the fabled chestnut

#

some time I should start a blacktail rare grind

tiny kestrel
#

You’re kidding me

full cave
#

I only have 1 blacktail in the lodge it's a 191.90 scoring so I should go for the rares

tiny kestrel
#

Not only was it an initial spawn but also the fur type I want the most

#

I’m genuinely jealous lol

full cave
#

it is probably my second fav

#

I was lucky because a few days later I got a diamond 23.67 scoring black bear

#

I have the great one and the diamond in a multi mount together

tiny kestrel
#

I had a max score max weight initial spawn black bear on my SRP before the reset

#

My goal is to make a multimount for each GO

So a huddle GO WT and the 2 BB GO multimounts

full cave
#

I can make a go red deer flee state I need 2 more great one whitetail for a great one huddle and I need 1 more go black bear for that multi mount

#

but I don't see the second go black bear happening for a while

#

If only there was a red deer huddle

#

I could make one rn

full cave
#

I really hope they add one

#

I want one as well

#

my goal is to get 10 go red deer I only have 1 rn so it's gonna take a hell of a time to get but I love grinding them so that's fine

#

I don’t really care how many I get

#

I just want to get atleast 1 of each rack

full cave
#

I don't care what the rack is or what it looks like either way seeing a great one will always exite me

#

hopefully the next great one is actually enjoyable to grind

#

unlike the bears

#

Imagine a small, middle and big rack GO in a multimount

#

That would be sick

full cave
#

yea it would be

#

some day I wanna see a multi mount with all great ones huddled

#

it would be cool

#

or like a black bear attacking a whitetail

#

No

#

I heard that they’re making GO specific multimounts

#

Could be just a rumour

full cave
#

see I don't think they would because then it would blow the suprise

tiny kestrel
#

I moreso meant for existing GOs

#

So a whitetail, red deer and bear in one huddle
