At 30

#

That’s only 15,750

#

Granted real numbers are going to be different but that gets the point across

full cave
#

Yup

#

SR here you come!

hidden pagoda
#

I’m really enjoying this now lmao

#

I could get used to this

full cave
#

Right? Even if you could care less about diamonds, herd management just makes the grind so much more enjoyable

hidden pagoda
#

At this rate I’ll have another diamond potench in about 40 minutes

hidden pagoda
#

Just seeing the diamonds

#

Bigger deer

full cave
#

Seeing the diamonds, removing zones from your grind, increase chance of a super

#

All around positives

hidden pagoda
#

Yeah.

#

And while managing those unused zones

#

You find even more zones that went under your nose

full cave
#

Yup, totally changes the grinding game

hidden pagoda
#

Yeah for real

#

Why wasn’t I doing this earlier lol

full cave
#

Cause you’re silly

#

We should push for a change to black bear home ranges. On all the maps they are on they are spread throughout the entirety of the map. The number of black bears isn’t very high and this cause them to feel very few and far between. Reducing the area of the home range of the bears would be a welcome change from just about everybody who has a vested interest in them

hidden pagoda
#

Mmmmm yes put that in suggestions

full cave
#

Okay!

hidden pagoda
#

Ok so if this trend is consistent

#

I should have another dime this run

#

Do you still plan on staying up 24hr and doing a bit of streaming?

#

Also, I posted my idea in feedback

hidden pagoda
#

Looks like a troll

hidden pagoda
#

Maybe streaming anyways

full cave
#

If you do lemma know cause I’d like to watch some Layton grinding

#

If that’s what you plan to stream, that is

hidden pagoda
#

34 kills later lol

#

Just barely made it

hidden pagoda
#

Yup

#

I’ll set my stream up for the next run

#

I just got my best trophy ever

#

estimate was up to 300 so I guess they only hit the top if possible šŸ˜„

#

and insta got to the lodge to set it up with my piebalds, now I have all my super rares in one multimount together

full cave
#

Not hitting top estimate means that it is perfectly symmetrical

jovial snow
#

sick trophy

full cave
wooden hornet
#

oh one of them I got long ago, maybe even last year

full cave
#

Loads of huge diamonds, and now one of the first SR albino whitetail that is perfectly symmetrical. Not to mention he’s probably the biggest I’ve ever seen

wooden hornet
#

but ye I've a couple of thousand hours with only 1 sr and now I git two in a week it's been insane

Yeah that’s insane

Wish I could get a sr like that

Or just another one in general xD

I hope one day I’ll get a chance to redeem myself for the SR moose I messed up

#

With the moose grind I might just be able to

one of my first moose was a albino diamond

but it was before it was live and i didnt know then

I know, kinda unique lol ... my 3rd overall great one (1 wt, 2 red)

Hopefully my next GO will be the small rack I really don’t want to grind more than I have to

Also hoping the next GO doesn’t take another 9000+ kills

I think that's one of the best looking 50/50s out of all

Well maybe tied with vurhonga

luckily i did manage to get a diamond on my run

@pale oracle what’s your setup look like for them?

There are no reeds

Mmmm I might idk

I hate Rev for whitetail though

Oh shit a piebald

Hey Sonic I just got a rare wt are you proud of me

How would you feel if I got a whitetail great one in less than 300 kills lol

Good

tiny kestrel

Oh shit a lvl 3

#

Holy he’s a max weight

Alright I think it’s time to kill the GO

#

Nvm don’t feel like getting on

tiny kestrel
#

Understandable

fair wind
#

Indeed

hidden pagoda
#

I’m gonna go kill some whitetail myself

tiny kestrel
#

Every single time you grind, I end up getting something good

hidden pagoda
#

Well shit you’re about to get a GO then ig

#

Or maybe I will

#

Who knows

tiny kestrel
#

Hoping we both get one

#

Gonna do one more run then I’m hopping off for at least a little while

#

Might grind a bit again after that might not, who knows

Another level 3

what yall use to keep track of kills?

shut pollen
#

I just use a counter app on my phone

hidden pagoda
#

Counter+ yeah

near crane
#

Ight so I’ve done the research and I think this joe heard manegment works

#

You discover all the drink zones for the species on that map

#

You then shoot all the high ranking deer except for in some lakes where you shoot the low ranking deer is that correct

#

If not feel free to correct me I’m fairly new to great one grinds

hidden pagoda
#

I mean you got the general concept down, yeah

#

Move your small animals to a bunch of zones you’re not gonna use until the deer in the zones you do want to use don’t repsawn as those

#

(fence rack or smaller whitetail, level 4 or lower reds, etc)

near crane
#

Okay thank you

wooden junco
#

I have 5 legendary Red deer stacked on my map now whilst herd managing and grinding. Do I need to shoot them at some point to spawn a GO or can I just keep tryi g to stack

hidden pagoda
#

well herd management doesn’t affect GO spawns to our knowledge, it just increases the amount of diamonds you see

wooden junco
#

Ok so eventually I might get one. Probably over 1k kills now

#

Im just leaving the 9's to stack for now

#

Took a 2 week experiment and have seen 7 legendary spawns out of it so gonna continue see if get a GO

wary mason
hidden pagoda
#

And it’s been over 12,500 since I’ve seen a GO lol

#

They take a while.

Oh wow fr?

tame solar
#

Just look at Hannes, NotBaztian, Jonny and even the maker of herd management iBuy and it starts to seem obvious that herd management does something

hidden pagoda
#

That is fair

#

But it makes me wonder if it’s the updates that have done something or the herd managing itself

jagged wedge
#

Look at what scarecrow is doing as well

#

Has like 5 GO WT in the past 3 weeks, 2 stacked on the map a week ago and already has 2 more stacked on his map after killing those 2

#

I’m convinced from watching him that claiming kills and herd Management both affect it, there’s luck but I feel like what he’s doing is a lot more than luck

wooden junco
#

I started playing in June this year have 6 diamonds. Just the last 2 weeks of tryibg herd management have spawned 9 legendary red deers that I have spotted on map and possibly diamonds. Somethibgs working lol

#

Tempted to shoot them but will see how it goes GO wise without shooting them

hidden pagoda
#

yes diamonds are definitely affected by it

wooden junco
#

So I should shoot em all now lol

hidden pagoda
#

ooh uh

#

idk up to you

#

I’ve shot all of mine as they came

wooden junco
#

I shot 1 cause he was ugly

#

My OCD didn't like his antlers lol

somber star
#

What map are you on?

plain raptor
#

Looks like Cautro?

wooden junco
#

Was ON TA

somber star
#

Thanks

wooden junco
#

Fairly easy grind on TA and after drink zone run can follow on with a sika and fallow run

plain raptor
#

TA got a lot better after they changed the times for RD drinking

somber star
#

I haven’t played in like 4 months, I was working way to much and lost the way I used to play

wooden junco
#

Im at the point grinds are kinda tedious so will prob go back to my bowhunting and other maps but do maybe 1 or 2 runs a day

plain raptor
#

I’m waiting for the new map

#

I haven’t even hunted Revontuli much

wooden junco
#

I did the mission on Rev and opened a few areas to see what the map was like but havent been back to it yet. I am only 5 months into the game so plenty of time.

#

Early on the 1st couple of maps I grabbed the quad and opened up the outposts and towers while I was at work on my laptop screen then decided no I will do it at home on the big screen and enjoy the walks and if something pops up to shoot so be it haha.

I like Hirsch but only for the bison and the geese

#

Red deer… I’m too early on to really tell, but I already feel meh about it

wooden junco
#

There is red deer on Hirsch??? they must hide from me

pliant oak
hidden pagoda
pliant oak
#

there is still some rng to diamonds even with herd management ive been going deep only shooting certain levels on runs seeing what they spawn back as

wooden junco
#

rng? Im drunk fill me in

full cave
#

Random number generator

wooden junco
#

oh I read it as relly not good haha

hidden pagoda
#

Yeah it would make sense because herd management basically takes the waves of small deer and big deer and makes them happen more often due to the offset, so yes it would make sense if there being more big deer would creature a larger offset for said GO.

full cave
#

Do y’all think that animals return to the zone that they were killed out of? Or is it a bit random?

pliant oak
#

if you think logically once you get it right and get a go if you dont mess up your herds and just do as you are doing you should get one soon after

#

saying that its been 1000 since my last one

#

so maybe another is close

hidden pagoda
pliant oak
#

start in a minute again 😁

wooden junco
#

I know in 2 weeks I have managed to spawn 9 legendary Red deer that werent there and have seen them pop up on following runs

pliant oak
#

you know its right with red deer when you have loads of 9s and 4s

wooden junco
#

Deer return seeems to depend on level and if ytou shot it or not. If I mess ashot they dont return but lowers do

hidden pagoda
#

This all happened for me last night and I just set up herd managing

pliant oak
#

whitetail stack loads of 1s

wooden junco
#
  • and 9 deer dont return regardless when spooked for me
hidden pagoda
#

Though strangely enough I’m at 28087 and haven’t seen another diamond potential since

hidden pagoda
pliant oak
#

some deer have to travel further so you may need to go later to that zone

hidden pagoda
#

If they return that fast it’s likely that they stay same zone

pliant oak
#

but sometimes they dont turn up

#

my go did that some runs he was there sometimes not at all

hidden pagoda
#

I’ve also noticed that if I accidentally shoot a doe when not claiming, it gets spat into a random zone. But if I’m claiming (and I claim the doe too) it’ll stay in the same zone.

plain raptor
#

The higher level red deer take a long time to come back and if it’s near the end of their drinking zone, they will start their journey to the next one. If they are with a herd, they are more likely to come back quicker.

wooden junco
#

I had to laugh on TA there was a red deer mating call from across the river at about 8am and spotted it and was the lefvel 2 which I know is a solo on that region as I wont shoot it. I hate how they arrive at zones at diff times

#

He was about 700m from his zone

pliant oak
#

you can also blow a bad zone and he will go elsewhere

full cave
#

Idk, I’m more inclined to think that the deer don’t always return to the same zone they were killed from, as long as there are other zones for them to go to

plain raptor
#

And sometimes, the herd won’t come back to the area and will be drinking a mile away from the lake they are supposed to be drinking at

pliant oak
#

i often do this on bad zones to hunt until i get it nice

wooden junco
#

I been keeping an eye on my legends and 2 drink at same lake near each other 1 is there all the zone time the other arrives towards the end

#

I thought I lost him till today as I hadnt seen him but I had been starting my grind early there

full cave
#

If the deer alway returned to the same zone they were killed from, then we wouldn’t have to worry about zones seemingly losing their males and such

wooden junco
#

Yeah seems they move random as I got whole harems at some zones. To be a malke deer hehe

hidden pagoda
#

though I didn’t have that issue when I claimed everything

#

like at all.

full cave
#

Hmm, my experience has been different. I claim everything and only have 14 shooters on my Te Awaroa, but they still tend to go to different zones every so often

wooden junco
#

I had a zone pop up at a random lake which I thought was a dud lake as never seen any deer there and still nothings spawned there in my travels

full cave
#

Although, it very well could be that the stags I am killing are technically ā€œsolosā€ but they are just next to a herd. So when I kill that stag, it registers as a zone deletion and then moves elsewhere

pliant oak
#

dont have to worry though as they turn up somewhere else drinking

wooden junco
#

crap I been removing my tents and tripods from dud zones once they get nothing but level 4 and females

full cave
pliant oak
#

on some bad lakes i just slaughter loads of females to get back to my good lakes quickly

full cave
#

I have so many thoughts and ideas right now, excited to get out and do some in depth stuff

pliant oak
#

i just try it then right down the results

#

then try something else

#

experiment

full cave
#

Yup

wooden junco
#

We need another GO predator thinking about it

full cave
#

I’m open to the idea of most GOs, but I think a lot of people primarily want antlered/horned GOs

wooden junco
#

Something GO that will mess you up or be hard to get seems reasonable

full cave
#

Well, they are all hard to get

wooden junco
#

Sure Moose are soon gonna try to ruin your day but they still aren't predator worthy haha

full cave
#

The only reasonable way to make a GO hard to get is to make it harder to hunt, and that means that a lot of people will never even attempt it

wooden junco
#

Make it chase you Lion GO you shoot it and run or make sure as hell you got it good

full cave
#

Which isn’t good. It’s a shame for the devs to work hard to make something that looks as amazing as a GO and then nobody has any desire to go after it do to the nature of the grind

full cave
wooden junco
#

Thats kind of the point of a GO is its hard to obtasin

#

I got a Diamond lion my 5th time on Savanah so not that hard

full cave
wooden junco
#

Sitting back with a tent and a tripod going lake to lake is really a boring way to get a GO and easy tbh. SO grinding in itself is a dud way of getting one. EW should have a better implementation of them to mean more than just...... Yeah I shot 3k deer on my tripod to get this etc

full cave
#

So statistically most people get a GO every 2k kills or so. If you on average have to kill 2k animals to get your GO spawn but also the speed at which you can get kills is significantly impaired by the game, it’s problematic

wooden junco
#

Maybe add an accuracy percentile factor or something for x amount of harvests if you remain in the top 70% accuracy percentile you have x amount of chance of spawn a great one

pliant oak
#

haha like 20 males in one spot

wooden junco
#

IM trying to identify the spot lol not even looking at the deer

full cave
#

This way, people new to the game and new to grinding don’t get the reward without the work.

full cave
wooden junco
#

Thats the little inlet there

#

I got as Legend there atm

full cave
#

I’ve had 3 GOs in that spot

#

But yeah, GO grinding is overall fine as it is. Great Ones haven’t become easier to obtain, it’s just that more people are obtaining them. Black bears are an issue right now, but I think it’s beneficial in the long run. It shows the devs that there are things that even the most hardcore grinders aren’t willing to do to get a GO

wooden junco
#

Yeah Mountain lions can fuck right off

#

I wasnt even grinding bears I just shot em as I liked em till the time got mixed. I got a diamond though luckily then stopped playing srp

wary mason
wooden junco
#

I should probably try focusing my higher levels to 1 lake that I actually like. I have a few now that are females or 3/4 only

wary mason
#

Yeah,

wooden junco
#

I feel drunk enough to go chase water buffalo with a bow hehe. Get em nice and angry

wary mason
#

That's my main method when they charge me

#

No scope bow them lol

wooden junco
#

Im now on pf gonna chase em

wary mason
#

Get em

wooden junco
#

Not gona lie that chase was fun as hell

#

148m bow shot then spent 10min chasing for the next shot

high heath
#

hm i didnt know water beefalo had GOs

wooden junco
#

They dont I was just replying to the prior msg about going buffalo hunting drunk. Will switch back to main chat

pliant oak
#

then make sure hunting pressure is gone

#

then finish run and close game takes a while but ive got my best lakes like that

#

mainly just males

wary mason
#

Ah right

#

Il give it a try maybe

pliant oak
#

ive just finished a run got rid of the hunting pressue on the lakes i want them at

#

now when i restart game back up they will all come back

wary mason
#

Interesting

winter adder
#

ron does that not get a little boring? hunting the same stuff every day?

pliant oak
#

it doesnt bother me

#

once you get the right set up its not that boring

winter adder
#

i keep trying to start a red deer grind and i lose interest fast

pliant oak
#

just a mentality thing when grinding

#

some it might bother some it dont

#

gotta give yourself targets or goals as you doing it

#

to add purpose

#

many of us in here spent 1000s of hrs now doing it

winter adder
#

i lost most of that purpose when my account reset itself, i had a whitetail grind set up and was doing good

pliant oak
#

i was doing herd stuff back in classic so its the norm for me

winter adder
#

i honestly didnt know you could herd manage in classic

pliant oak
#

i was trying to find out how many animals were on the map for eg

#

so i would do mp extinction events

#

that would last a whole day

#

8 of us would wipe the map or atleast try

#

it would be cool to do it in cotw

#

but its a bit different

winter adder
#

wow, i guess thats one way

pliant oak
#

imagine a dedicated team in mp grinding

#

youd probably get a great one red deer quick

#

imagine how long it would take to do a run. minutes probably

winter adder
#

yea if you had 8 people all hunting different zones

pliant oak
#

yeah especially on TE

#

thought about doing it but you gotta get a dedicated 8 every day

wooden hornet
pliant oak
#

so the picture i shown is where i end my run

#

other lakes ponds will have hunting pressue

#

so it forces the groups to the clear areas

#

that lake will be clear so all males can come back

wooden hornet
#

this game has interesting quirks, I don't think this ever happened to me on red deer.. but picking up your animals and using or not using stands might influence it too

fair wind
wooden hornet
#

since when I don't pick up the animals they do not respawn while I'm still on the map

I have found ones I gave up tracking as thought them to have not bled out and found them laying on the edge where I shot them if I fast travel out and back again. Confused me a few times as I came back and thought whats that doing there.

Understand it but its more a loophole way of doing it. Like if the added gelignite fishing to the angler. Dont worry about a rod just throw a few sticks out and gather em up till ya get a beast lol.

#

Anyone can throw down some tents at waterholes as I have myself too and go zone to zone slaughtering to get there. My diamonds earned via walking the map or random encounters will always mean more than a grinded GO if that is how easy it is sitting by a lake shooting

#

If there was pre requisites to getting it to spawn as well as grinding the numbers then it may be more interesting

You call getting 21000 kills over the course of 8 months easy??

Granted, it’s a game. It’s supposed to be fun to the average person. They can’t make it too complex or it becomes unachievable for most, in fact it already somewhat is because of the sheer amount of time it can take.

you didnt make it clear that you wanted us to say how long it took per great one/total time for all GOs

or maybe thats just me

Not the 1st time I have asked

I have simply asked what goes into a grind and what triggers it as I am doing herd management and triggering multiple 9s and been met with wasting your time... dont bother... that doesnt work... it will take years among others

Then I would say you just ran into bad people. I know for a fact that if you came into this channel and asked questions about GOs without being harsh that plenty of people would’ve been glad to answer your questions

With that being said. Is there any questions you’d like to ask?

model change doesnt affect anything

Medved's going to have both the lynx and the wolves around to spook the moose

so it's probably going to be The Painful One

The lynx aren’t an issue right now and I doubt the wolves will add too much problem

Quick question for the people grinding WT on Revontuli, how do you go about eliminating zones from your grind?

Is it as simple as setting up, shooting until there’s only 1s, then just moving that tent and tripod to another zone

I never even got a bear yet

I only have two red

I’ve got my revo down to about 15 zones but I’m about to have to do some swapping because my bucks have just disappeared so I know they’ve gotta be at different zones

also, for every species to have a great one right now, it would probably mean that they look almost identical to the base animal, if not just that same animal with a fabled medal

I’d rather they release a GO every 6 months and put genuine effort into it, creating unique fur types and creatively designed racks and model changes over a half assed ā€œslap big rack onto animal call it a dayā€ great one

and you can't make art like you can just write code to implement something. one is straightforward, the other takes a lot of creativity and expression
