I think im gonna try something a bit different, im gonna only leave 3's just to make this a little more interesting.
Also just shot red deer #9000
I have an idea actually, im gonna check my red deer grind water areas on fallow drink time and see if I could grind them too with the same setup.
you can do both at same time that what i do been doing it for 2 years daily this september
i use the fallow to take the red deer hunting pressure away
and vice versa on reds
Sounds good, I really wanna see if fallow treat me better lol
Yeah it could be another pretty casual grind to just do whenever.
Red deer are just becoming so boring at this point
my fallow deer shooters just shrunk by 1 for first time in about two months
15 left
👀
how low do they GO
🤣
imagine you can get em to only 1 3 left and 1 4 left
shoot kill collect
diamond spawns
I’ve got my whitetail down to about 15, averaging atleast 1 diamond spawn a run but hit 2-3 a run consistently the last 300 kills
100%.
do initial spawn great ones still exist? like is it confirmed they do/dont
They did at one time, think someone said they don’t anymore
just curious, how low did u manage your fallow
normally when you just get diamond diamond every few kills thats when GO drops
especially max weights in a row
For me it's when I'm on a troll streak
No they don’t
for me its when i least expect it
lol I got 2 within the past 3 days. one at almost 100 kills, another at around 370. a hooded and a painted
Somewhere from 500-700 for the solos. Most my herds were already done
Nice Nice!
dang, how low like what score did u get them to
I left 2, and small 3's. I counted and like anywhere from 45-60 of my males are solos
it is for everyone but when you get a run of diamonds every few kills you know it could be close
i never notice stuff like that lol
you do after you had a few great ones
you kinda get a feel
when one might spawn
after thinking about it some zones got some more dimes but i brushed it off as my HM working
I got 3 trolls and a diamond before getting that one lol^^
thats my dream combo, that or with irish elk rack
ty
Very nice
Would be nice if mine isn't too far away. I've had batches of diamonds spawn recently and quite quickly. Had a double max the other day which blew my mind. Then it dried up a bit lol
Maybe the succession has the be more rapid to get a better sense. Solos are all under 170. Got a dozen or more lvl 2s and a bunch of low level 3s in exteriors. ~18 per rotation.
hard for me to say I guess, with no experience ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I really hope so 😅
God I want that combo so bad
Gonna try a few more whitetail runs and hope for the best
This game really is like a bad drug huh
I personally hope for silver + Irish elk rack
WT grind is already showing somewhat consistent results
Waiting for those first diamond respawns to begin the HM process
Bro. 442 kills, 40 dimes, and 1 rare. That makes 3 great ones today
Bro idk but my grind is going well and not well
Im at aprox 400 kills and still trying to have my solos down to lvl 2
And yesterday i got 3 lvl 5 in 20-30 mins
Gonna start todays grind soon, 9000 kills in, will it end today (no)?
@pliant oak sorry for the ping. do you mind if I ask you some questions about hm grinds/g1's
i dont mind the basics
but people have different styles methods but can give you a basic idea of what you need to do
then just apply how you play to it
yeh cheers. i was more curious about what other indications might occur when a g1 isn't far away
my method isn't too bad, and rotations are decent. diamonds spawn mostly consistently.
e.g. i've seen it said that unusually high number of consecutive max level diamonds could indicate a SR. or that rapid diamonds could indicate a g1. also that dry spells could also indicate a g1. it's interesting to learn what the more experienced players have noticed
lets be clear most things are speculation unless its from a dev
we all often come up with what we feel works or is the case but it maybe not that way at all.
me personally try numerous different things some weird and whacky mainly just to experiment as i like to know what is or what isnt not just say it is without any proof which sadly can be the case with grinding
Super rare no one knows why these spawn. unless a dev
Great ones no one knows why they spawn unless a dev
we do have some ideas speculations..from all the grinders in here which often leads to debates but nothing is 100 percent no matter who says it player wise .
from what ive tried personally dont think its totally random
as there is a system which you can see with hm working as clear as day as animals level up all the way up the chain
what is the real tricky part is..is there a random multiplier factor to what a great one spawns off. is it based off the trophy you shoot ? also does the trophy animal with a higher rating have more chance of spawning a GO which i believe it does
There is exactly no correlation between a lot of diamonds spawning and a GO/SR spawning other than indicating that HM is working. A GO is a 1 in whatever chance spawn. This is the currently accepted idea that makes the most sense
so shooting a 6 male vs shooting a max weight diamond
i believe a max weight diamond has more chance of a GO spawning off it
it would also make sense as the levels level up as you shoot them
some people will say there is no correlation as above but people with hm on average get GOs far faster than none hm
so you can see it 100 percent effects with hm
as more people get more GOs with Hm than no hm
Supposedly, if not picking up an animal results in it respawning as a very similarly scoring/weight animal is true, then if you get a bunch of diamonds on your map and then just shoot them all without claiming could lead to a higher rate of SRs
And no, I’m not saying HM doesn’t affect GO spawns, it absolutely does. I’m simply saying that a lot of diamonds spawning rapidly isn’t an indication a GO is about to spawn
well it could be as the last 6 or 7 which i tried and tested all GOs came when lots of max weights spawned in a row
It’s an indication your HM is working well, sure, but I see no direct correlation between the animal you shoot and the animal that respawns from it
all gos came off a diamond
i know as i shot a diamond close game
single kill
as for dirty grinding shooting diamonds not picking up hoping for good respawns i know some do it
i dont
I think you’re missing my point lol
i collect all kills so you will have to ask those that do that
not collecting vs collecting lots of different varibles so not the same
Jaxy himself said (iirc) that animals you don’t pick up respawn with a very similar score and weight. With that in mind, if you were to shoot a max level animal and don’t pick it up, then in theory it should respawn with a similar weight and score. If it’s high enough weight (97kg+ for WT, for example) then it could lead to a SR spawning quicker (provided fur types are still randomized in this case) and even a GO
i can tell you i tried it on 30 diamond red deer
i got 20 back
not collecting
for one experiment
Ah so you’ve tried it out
How long did you keep it going? Just for one run or did you do it for an extended period of it?
just one run shot all in a row
to see if they would spawn back same
20 came back
no go spawned
Are you positive all 30 legendaries were actual diamonds?
From a 2020 video that has since been confirmed by him to be out dated
I’m still running off of info from before I took a hiatus on this game (about a year ago) so I could be somewhat outdated lol
personally i think you level up you animals to max
then it has a chance to spawn as a GO if...its in the right score region
this is why i think hm works for GOs
as you have the levels there then its a case of a GO filling the missing slot score area
I don’t necessarily think that’s the case because lately I’ve been doing WT runs and diamond potential level 2s have been respawning as minimum weight estimate 1s
actually trying it right now with a diamond ive saved since my last GO spawned
kept it alive on purpose
as only one diamond was alive when the GO spawned
and it was that onne
So stacking uber guaranteeds couldn't hurt. I had a ridiculous trophy range the other day with a max of 305 and turned out to be a double max. I forget what it respawned as but if i were to stack them the results could be interesting after the fact
stacking helps early on in grinds. Later on it hurts spawns
Stacking always hurts the respawns from the non-diamonds you shoot each run
i got to 30 diamonds twice
then it was like 500 kills before a diamond spawned
none stacking end hm ive got it to 1 - 3 kills sometimes with reds
on respawns so no point
even dirty grinding you will only do it once with loads then have less
Dirty grinding?
as covered above basically not picking up
some people do it with diamonds
then hope for a sr
People dirty grind mostly for non g1 animals
HM seems the best way until someone figures out what causes the Go respawn which no one knows. its actually either so simple people over look it or its so complicated its not been worked out. im glad it hasnt and well done to the devs
it is interesting seeing peoples ideas theories
i love em all regardless of if wrong or right it can get heated though
😁
the thing is having more GOs than someone doesnt mean you know more it just means you played more and often with hm
Well that's something I hadn't considered before. Interesting.
thehunter games mainly = more time played = more trophy animals
Like i did dirty grind for my buff
Good results?
so in theory the best grinders are those who have the most GOs in the least amount of time played
Super rare
Consistent?
Unlikely for sr i guess being such a low spawn rate but I'm more curious about the results that you saw beyond just gunning for a sr
also some people might not of noticed this but it must be a factor. animals with more levels have less population
Yeah
so bears for eg 1 - 9 only have like 50 males for black bears
i do wonder if it played a part with some species
not all but some do
so maybe there is different factors for gos of different species
black bears tend to be the easiest number wise to spawn a go
maybe thats down to a lower population.
Fallow don't have that much more though surely. Especially after solos and exteriors are shot down and especially if you factor in dirty grinding those solos and exteriors
Thanks Mihai, and ron for your feedback. Helps out a bunch to learn more from you folks.
fallows have about 80 males on te awaroa
glad to give feedback just remember unless its from a dev its not 100 percent its just what we think may happen
have fun good luck !
Yeh it's all good. Even just the hearing about experiences gives a better loose understanding and helps guide experimentation.
#42 the littlest i got 😂
little bit late i got this yesterday
That's the one 1 want to get
Started butchering crocs - dirty grind style, lol. Keen to see what it yields. Already spawned a troll but thankfully it doesn't have a rare 'fur'. Silly how quickly that kill count racks up when not harvesting and tent hopping
They should really update it to say “morph” instead of fur types for reptiles
Got to love it, 256 was its highest part of the estimate... I though it wouldn't make it.
Any tips on getting a great 1 or even a diamond whitetail 😆
best way is to watch a video on how to grind for whitetail.
I watched several and them and red deer seem to be my nemesis 😆
Ah, tbh wt isn't really any different i don't think
@fresh sinew Theres the super troll
Ouch
Ah.
I need to literally look through the 50+ photos of fallow to find it..
My only albino Fallow from the grind
There he is.
Ah
Just finished red deer grinding for today, 9100+ kills rn.
About 2k kills combined
Lol
Theres the messed up one
Mhm, the bigger out of the 2. i just thought it was a chocolate lol
Blasted it with the 300 without thinking
Lol
I was like "hey albino" BANG
Lol
i haven't done reds or wt. i did moose and gave up because respawns wasnt respawning
I managed to spawn a red deer really quick
Didn't bother with them
had a moose
WT can suck on a stick
moose just have a ton of singles, reds are easy, i can tell you how i do it
they suck
or rev
I can do it just got no patients at the moment im doing fallow on Te and cannot be bothered to do cautro or ec
Rev is not that good if they start to bounce
when you're done with fallow on Te a red deer grind is so easy
Yer, when is the big question lol. im almost at 6k kills with no g1.
yeah fallow are a pain, minr took 4k i think, but you gotta keep going
I am i did also want my 4th BB before they get reset
Mhm, i stopped to get my Bear tb
You still have a month until the reset
Atleast i think
Yer, im on holiday for 1 week of that but I do have all of next week to grind
Im at 5970 kills
Ay best of luck!!
Mhm, I am better then before as I just was shooting like 5 deer because all my zones got to just lvl 2s and 1s
216-261 est | Was expecting a troll
Funny how little estimate matters for fallow
Mhm.
10 more kills then 6k kills
just hit 6k kills...
Yeah I'm still waitin on my 4th, just hit 3.3k
I haven't even had 1....
ohhh shoot my b, howmany kills you getting per run?
I shoot 2 per zone, around 16-20 deer per run, start at 12.
Okay yeah that;s not too bad, just makin sure you weren't killin less than ten lol
I was till today. as I left doing fallow for like 2 months
Dang, just killem all basically. I don't heard manage anything and kill about 35 per run. Takes maybe 10 minutes IRL
I do minimal HM.
I gotcha I gotcha. Post if you get anyting
Will do.
#81 Dime | 6065 kills
my last few fallow GOs been like that
How many kills
i dont count my kills anymore just diamonds
5th Fallow 91 diamond 33 trolls 4 botched diamond
1 great one
that was the last fallow grind
currently on red deer 80 diamonds in
so last few been long grinds
Ah fe
Uhhmm I believe those go in #🦌︴trophies
errmmm acthcuually

insert sticker I cannot use in this server here
Knowing you that's probably a good thing
what's that supposed to mean
Dime #82 | Kills 6124
Dime #83 | Kills 6219
@fresh sinew @restive crater HE SPAWNED!!!!!!
Space thanks for the help last night.
LETS GOOO bro
Oof
And idk how many months lol
Well the second gonna be easy to get i think
i hope lol
Just got rid of the 300 and the 22 so I don't mess it up
Thanks
and what was i saying in general lol
Mhm lol
Welp he decided to prove you wrong lmao
They rest after drinking
He's in one of the best spots for pictures tho
Yer, but still, I want to get photos of him sleeping
Lol
Wanna know something he spawned off a lvl 3
Sounds about right
Mhm
My last spawned off a 4 i think
That zone is not that good for pics lol
Mhm.
Also he's nervous...
Yer ik thats the issue and idk why because I haven't seen him since I changed the time
Wind is good tho
Good idea
Its the number one right?
Wdym?
In the saves
It's the only thing in saves
I went into the wrong one...
Lol
Lol
Allright, gonna start todays grind now. Im gonna try to do a pretty long one today.
For god sake. i had music off. 😭
Also almost guaranteed im gonna hit 150 diamonds too so that's cool
6221 kills, 16 rares, 1 ST, 1 SR, 83 Dimes.
Nice! That's probably my fav combo.
Time to get 2 more...
Well time t ogo and some some stuff off my pc then more fallow later, hoping for a SHORT grind this time
Time to start g1#2
Got to love the G1 turning into a small lvl 2
Sad
Mhm
Should I just shoot my like 4-5 lvl 5's?
Up to you really
I would only kill the solos a few runs
And get them to be atleast mid sized 3s
LES GOOOOOOOOOO
Well can I get the 3rd today?!?!
That was rapid
Probably
Time to track to rest zone
I made an ai playlist for Greta one grinding on Mississippi Aceres
backup done
What should I kill it with, done the 308
Nah that's 4th g1 activities
Lol.
Okay so for my 4th BB i should do recerve?
also is it bad I have been watching g1 videos all day lol
Nah
happy it a different fur + rack type
It's quite normal
Kinda spawned in a bad place
I think i also have one the same combo
If it's the zone i think it is it's actually a really good zone
At the top of the river?
Yer but the feeding zone is terrible
Lol
Like the worst place.
Yer, maybe as its a terrible place
also it spawned at where my 3 lvl 5's are
which i haven't killed yet
The way you have that zone setup hurts me tho
I do need to fix it it was only because i had another zone which is just 2's
Time to get a good wind...
As its terrible
How is your set up?
I only have 1 as the other one is just 2's so I may do that one to. I may need to see how your is set up
For more clarity
I may do that.
I would get the setup closer
Yer, will do it after I get this G1 on the floor and saved lol
lol
If I get the 3rd today i will go back to get my 4th BB or get reds set up on
Mhm, I will try. I will even try while united get absolutely smoked by city in the FA Cup final
Expected tbh
Yer.
WT might be the stupidest thing to hunt...
Only shot a diamond lvl 2 in a zone and 2 of them respawned
I was thinking about doing them but cbaed lol
Lol.
Will be setting up your spot when I get to kill my G1 and doesn't run off bc of time
I found that that setup covers the most amount of ground
Hes in the zone that was full of lvl 2s when I checked before g1#1
I think its another solo
maybe not there is 1 solo and its the lvl 3 I believe
Lol mine was solo too
Is that alright?
Yea
G1#2 | Total kills 6294 | Kills on grind for g1#2 73
Time for grind #3
#84 dime | total kills 6300 | Kills G1#3 6
#85 and #86 dime | total kills 6318 and 6319 | Kills G1#3 24 and 25
Shooting all my Lvl 5s now
3 out of 6 I think it is
#87 | total kills 6324 | Kills G1#3 30
#88, 89, Troll | total kills 6325, 6326, 6327 | Kills G1#3 31,32,33
#3!!!! @fresh sinew You cannot
Its #1 and #2 mixed lol
I refuseeeeeee
glock
Glock?
up toyou
Okay well this time I may need to get him at his feeding zone
Is that your third great one TODAY??
Mhm.
I've spent 1 hour almost trying to kill him with the glock so its going with a rifle now.
G1#3 of today.
Huddle completed
Doing 1 run and then im done with them for today lol
3 great ones in a day 😁
Mhm. After 6k kills with none lol
hopefully mines spawns sooon
number 350 of the grind
Red is going to be my next i think
Also I am kinda laughing our my #3 was a mix of #1 (fur) #2 (rack
GO#33
Nice.
number 27 i can see fallow popping first before red lol
Ron which is better cautro or te for red?
te awaroa by miles but cuatro is fun
got GO reds at both
Okay, will do te then thanks
Time to look for zones then pick the best spots
Got to love solos
is this minimum weight?
@pliant oak How may zoens do you have for Red in total if you know? Srry for the ping
i dont even count em tbh
Ah oaky
it will be slightly different for all
Solo intial dime
Just wanted a number to go off if you get me
Ngl do I want to question why 90% of my zones are just solos
so the solos won't be solos if I try and get them into a bigger zone
its upto you you can kill them delete zones move em
okay.
BIG BOY!
I got the last diamond I was really wanting today and was planning on going after a GO after. Any recommendations on what I should go for/ best map to do it on? Thank you!
What species?
#1 Rare | 20 kills
My initial thought was whitetail as I don't have many rares in that, but red deer are my favorite thing to hunt.
Red deer would be Te, and i would sat WT would be Rev
I would recommend HM, but its up to you
and also probably watch some videos on them
i've lost this solo dime... cannot seem to find it ( I haven't shot at it)
Dime #1 (Yes I did botch it) | Kills 39
Oof
ngl idrc as I will end up getting loads
One of the easiest diamonds in the game, yes
We will have lots of opportunities
You*
It feels weird playing after taking another like 2 month break
I took around 6 months and went straight into Black bear grinding.
Dime #3 | Kills 72
Told you they’re super easy to get 😂
ik, i've done like 100 kills on them before then fallow was release
Just ended todays grind, 9522 kills in rn, im really getting dangerously close to the 10k mark...
on what species?
Red deer
Just chill
Idk I feel like red deer go's take longer on average.
You were also expecting 16k for fallow and got 3 g1s in a day
Well there is tht
Im only at 104 kills on red.
Atleast it's a realief that 2k is the average amount. That means me getting to the 10k mark means im really really unlucky.
Yer.
The other go grinds should be shorter thankfully
I kinda feel srry for whoever had the 16k grind
You will do a me and get 3 in one day
its also kinda fun i've been called a hacker today...
even though space and mos people who look at this chat see the dimes I get day in day out
3 go's a day is such a crazy thing to me.
I wasn't even expecting one today, especially not 3 lol
Don't... He's an a##hole
oh okay
One thing I realised tho is that I do have got a 270+ red deer atleast.
nice
Also todays been super lucky 3 g1s and Man u winning the FA cup
Yeah I saw that... How did it happen?
Man u winning is more impressive than the 3 g1s imo
Btw, I started this grind close to 2 years ago which is wild. I can't believe it's been that long already.
Yer it was I defo haven't lost my voice tho
Jeez
Obviously I have not grinded everyday for the past 2 years tho, that would be ridiculous, I have lost motivation and quit the game twice I think in the process.
on average
and my average is entirely different at like
3800 kills for all of my GOs across 3 different species
2 reds 4 fallow 10 whitetail
My average got messed up with the red deer
first red took 6600 second took around 2700
all 4 fallow have been between 800 and 2300
and the whitetail range from 800 to 13,000
13k is absurd
yeah I know lol
average for them is uhh
hold on
35,800 kills for the 9 singleplayer ones
around 4k per GO
Gonna ban for bad words
youre one to talk mr sailor mouth
Lmao
Know for a fact you tried to include a bad word in that statement but realized you couldn't
People got my back fishy
The rambunctious ones of off topic has taught me how to get around the filter

You one to be saying that to some one as well

ofc you would
We all do lmao
the filter is so easy to get around it's entirely pointless lmfao
It's enough of a annoyance tho
No
shid
Kek
:(
guess not
Shite
Why is that allowed??
I legit thought you was cash for at least a half second
Classic
maybe its my alt
you dont know
:3
That's exactly what I thought
Btw cash where is the hammer?
banned for having alt @ mods
Curioser and curioser
lmao
I haven't seen you use it in a min
paints target
its not, im just gaslighting you lmao
That would not be good if all of us with a alt got banned
I would totally be fine
help discord breaking LMAO
Same
Hmm???
Those og numbers
sonic are you still committing atrocities against whitetail in this game?
and hope you don't get vac banned in the process
vac?
Yes we're going to get him banned on steam
like vacuum?
Valve anti cheat
No don't thats where I spend all my money : (
You know how amazing if we could get people banned on steam
I'm sure that's easy to get around
Yup
someone turned around today or yesterday (I forget if here or another server) and said they got their steam account banned. I was like, wut
I would be long long gone lmfao
Well I mean enough of us could Mass report your account to probably get it banned
Y?
I could see you doing that tho
i got some fallow to slaughter...
Go kill da spot dur
hit em with the ol 45-70
and go get dem der
Go git Dem dam dur
👍
Also if fishy could do his job in the other discord he's a mod in it would be very nice of him
:)
maybe fishy needs bait
Where?
I don't see anything
Add the damn supers
Imma dm you
like third-ish zone back and I get this dude
2nd mela i've gotten in ~6k fallow kills
I have had like…30 plus lvl 9 reds now…then had no rares except a tiny lvl 5 pie and a meh lvl 8 pie that I botched anyway
Ain’t got the red durr luck
Both pies were on the same run ofc
Inb4 super rare within the hour
Lollll
I went to shoot beantengs and crocos
For monies
Had a few diamonds from them too
POOR?
But 0 rares
You?????
HOW
Bears
Damn
yikes
Lol
Yea it was the huge suck
And now they’re all getting reset anyways 😄
🙏😂
You got my red deer luck
If you get 3 rares in 200 kills you get a go if that's the case
I’m semi dirty grinding tho
Only picking up dimes atm
Because the spots they’re at are ass to collect lol
Why you say bad wor?
bru
Dur
oh fudge muffins
Darn it!
I have never been able to make grinding fallows fast
I set up all my tents and stands for shooting and not picking up
and I have so many level 2's that now it feels wildly inefficient to be hunting the whole map, but the level 3's and up move constantly
Sounds like a... skill issue
Lol sry:)
Would be about time
Lmao
pickup tents ftw
Nah but for fallow the most important thing is getting rid of the solos
Then you can always use ATVs to pick up deer if you don't have tents remaining for pickup
I have for the most part
I’m not like unseasoned I have 2 great ones for them already
It’s just the respawns being bad that’s all
hate floaters and mis-hit runners
Standard not showing up and whatnot
300 ftw
sure but even then, I took my bronze numbers rising personally
Yeah when that happens...
I've had a male fully disappear from his zone
I was romping it with the 300 but i refused to let my bronze increase much higher
can relate
That increased power is so much more help
Brain like all green harvest check
Honestly rn most excited for a new species and new starts
plus I figured i'd git gud with the .308 so i couldn't blame it on a skill issue...
can't say that i've hit brain without hitting skull
Skill issue
what're you hunting?
Yep the all female zone swap for fallow that’s what I was saying
not that i'm entirely convinced, but someone in another server claims that killing 2 does from each resulted in males coming back and the zones didn't move
This is correct. I do it all the time
interesting. well, after my last rotation, the 2 'new' female only herds have reverted with no does killed
during a full rotation or a standalone fix
I do it on my runs if the male don't come back for some reason. I shoot one or two females and then the next run the males are back.
wonder what mihai or lego think of this take.
the heck did you just say
Two other people from the discord
If it works it works idk why you’d need their opinion
right lol. just find what works and doesn't work by doing it yourself XD
i made a statement wondering what two people think who are either mods or heavily experienced in g1 grinds
the reason I ask is because the running average advice is to not kill females
else i'd never have said anything
a break in the norm then. and weight to the claim. thanks for weighing in 🙂
I'm just on the discord for pictures.
kinda the problem with this game one person says one thing then claims it as fact
Ron’s like the wizard who lives in the mountains, doing stuff differently, but much wiser
Killing females only affects moose and WT
Shooting females messed my red deer map up
2 years spent doing it on reds makes no difference
fallows makes no difference to me either
i've butchered my early attempts at fallow by killing does
I've killed plenty of does by accident and nothing happened
i'm not etching what i've heard in stone, i'm saying that it's unusual based on typical advice
i kill females as i grind reds and fallows at same time so i want hunting pressure gone as soon as posss
Another problem is people are so focused on maxing efficiency that they become afraid to try new strats and troubleshoot themselves
given that i haven't heard from everyone, that snapshot of info is very small
Nor did the zones go away nor did bucks come back
basically only a bad thing to do in way of the hunter lol
it causes some people have issues with whitetails
then just apply it to all
when its not the case
WT and doe killing should not be in the same sentence
They do not like you killing their ladies
you should always just experiment you will learn new things. also if you following advice thats wrong you are wrong too
now that i've had more than 2 people, more than just casuals or scenery buffs, give credit the strategy, i'm happy to experiment
just take what you need from advice apply to own playstyle but experiment
In a year all the grinding advice will probably be different anyways
Most likely
it constantly evolves
which is fair given the devs will try to keep ahead of the curve
Not really, as far as we know very little has changed back-end-wise
If anything the devs have tried to encourage us to grind more than stop us from it
The only thing that’s iffy is the bear reset, but even then that was to try and appease hardcore players, but ultimately confusing casuals in the process
and yet respawn features from previous engine states have now been rendered moot. one that i found from 2.0, around 2020, would be an absolute dream to have rn for grinding but it's been updated
the video is still available but it's irrelevant given the updates since
i made a bear guide as soon as the change happened and said we would most likely get a reset.
tbh it makes sense for most people
will be interesting to see how it works out.
It needed to happen, I wasn’t going to go through all my maps and shoot down the populations just so they spawn at a normal time
And I’m sure most players are in the same boat as me there
yeah it makes sense
🙃
well
11 GO bears
1 glacier 1, 3 spirit, 3 spotted, 4 glacier 2
no more bear grinding
somehow didn't get a single cream or chestnut
Congratulations!
Maybe I should grind for one more
I just know I’ll get a dupe and not the glacier I’m missing tho lolll
thanks
not a whole lot
we got the new map name, a teaser trailer, and we know that the new GO won't be base game
I saw that
I’m super excited
Was thinking mule deer until I heard it’s something we won’t expect
I watched Mel’s video when she dropped it
i don't know what it'll be tbh
i went back and watched the stream and it makes me doubt most things it could be lol
pc
it makes me wonder if they're gonna pull a bad move and give us something not in game yet
yeah but too expected
Plus won’t be base game
yeah so that eliminates both species of elk
This one I meant
All ik is I need every G1 before it drops
(It won’t happen)
Bear are my death
i have a feeling it could possibly be tuesday?
That would be crazy
I keep thinking “naw it’s too early” but it’s already somehow the 26th of may?!
You just made me check the date on my phone 😭
Didn’t know it was the 26th already
i think we'll get the release on the 11th or 18th
just basing it off of EC release and how they did things
and when other maps had teasers trailers it was only 3-4 weeks before the release
sometimes less
Fingers crossed
Idk what I’m going to chase after first lol, new rares/diamonds or the new GO
Maybe it’s one of the new species?
Then I could do both
Lol
depending on what the GO is i might just explore the new map first
That’s my thought
Like if it’s a really huge pain of a grind species, I may wanna chase new things first
Like the tigers/leopards (I think it’s tigers)
wait what's getting reset now
Bears
gotcha
which is why i'm stopping my bear grinding
told myself one more just in hopes that it wouldn't be a dupe and it ended up being a dupe so i'm not grinding them anymore
unfortunately
i can't be bothered to hm them again
will probably just go to fallow or multi hopping for trophies i want
that's true
eventually
bears have probably been my favorite species to GO grind
just because i get such a good kill per hour rate
i get like 80-90 an hour
it's "supposed" to be like that
5000 kills into fallow. One room away from filling Saseka with diamonds. One super rare. No albino, and no Great One
I know the feeling lol
Everybody else at the time was getting GOs within 1-2k kills and my first came at 5770 kills
It sucked. A lot. But persistence is the key to these trophies
Hey Mel, how are we and hows your grinds going?
#4 | 164 kills
Hey! Eh I’ve only been doing them a little bit but not bad
Ah, im happy, got 3 g1 fallow within 100 kill
Wow that’s awesome!! Congratulations!!
after 6.2k kills to get g1#1
Always the way lol
Mhm, now doing red. As i've got 3 bears, no moose or wt
I also have 0 red so its time to grind red then moose
the only issue reds are being a pain and only spawning big males in external zones.
and I feel like i have over 100 solos
Is it odd i only got 1 diamond in a whole great one grind
Idk how many kills I got exactly but had to be upward of 1.2-2k kills
And only one rare lmao
Depends on the species. If its moose then yes but no as they troll 75% of the time
Your doing something wrong lol. WT is one of the easiest to get a dime, people get 100s and 100s during the g1 grind
I know that’s what I was thinking but my heard management seemed fine and I eventually got my go so I don’t understand honestly I was shooting my twos checking all zones doing everything it was so weird
I deadass only got 1 it’s crazy I still don’t understand it
And I’m like 200 kills into getting a dime mulley just because I don’t have one and haven’t gotten a dime yet either but only one level 5 troll
More closer to 300 now probably and I don’t understand how I can’t spawn any diamonds unless their merriam turkeys lmfao
Lol
Gonna start grinding again soon. Will this end today...
#5 | 183 kills
Hopefully, i've just started for my red deer and all I keep getting is lvl 9 in externals or solos...
Yesterday I got 10 diamonds and an albino so the trophies have been quite decent for sure
One good thing about long red deer grinds is that atleast you will be so rich by the end of it that you never run out of money lol
Yer, I am over 4k kills in bears and made over 5 million
Also it's weird that all of my albino reds have been rather small but I have a few big pies and a nice 7 melanistic.
For some reason albinos like to be small lol
Apparently lol. If I somehow manage to get an sr before the go, an albino would be amazing.
Yer. I got a SR pie for fallow before a G1 lo
Nice!
but for some reasons reds are being difficult
Idk if it's weird of me to say that I would rather get the go than 3 sr's with a different fur type at this point. I just want this grind to be over lol.
Hmmm, odd. Reds have always been super consistent and easy for me personally.
Lol, i was the same for fallow
No I just get dimes in external and where I want my main zones are all small even tho they were 6,7,8's at the start.
Oh okay
So reds are just being a pain, I have had my last 2 dimes in the ame external
Rip
Mhm, it only has 2 males, a 9 and a 3....
I have noticed too that my main zones are starting to have a lot of 3's but I also just don't want to shoot them.
Where are ur main shooting zones?>
Maybe I should start shooting some of my 4's and try to get them to 3's.
#1-3 174 kills
Im not bothering as soon as they are 5's im leaving them as from past experience it took me around 1k kills to get most of my externals to 4's and 3's
Yeah it takes a while. I have two 2's on my map too but those are just so rare that it would take ages to get more lol.
Yer, over the 6.3k kills on fallow, i have only spawned 2 lvl 1's and 1 is still on my map
Ohirere and Pukemaero are my main ones but I do shoot some from the one that's above the main Pukemaero lake.
I have so many level 4's and 3's at this point that I just struggle to find good zones with 3 or so shooters.
Yer,
I avoid solos since they are a pain but they don't seem nearly as bad as moose for example.
yer.
Allright, gonna start the grind now.
gl.
Thanks!
Np
Okay, I think i finally got where the 2 9's were down to 5's
Why do I feel im going to make all my zones lvl 5s and 4's then do what I did with fallow kill 2 from each zone then stack dimes for no reason
and then spawn a g1
what is the max score for whitetail deer?
275 ish
275.53
What one do u want more lol
Only one of each so far (and a bear. But im not doing that until the reset)
Its hard to say tbh
Ive been grinding moose/fallow alternatively but i dont know which one i want to focus on
I feel like im pretty close on each grind though. Might just be a sunk cost fallacy thing lol
Do moose for like half then fallow
Maybe. im checking my map for moose now as ngl I kinda want a moose great one after leaving the grind and picking it up to do fallow. I was around 3k kills in but I have lost my progress because idk where my counting app went
Checking my zones ❤️
looks like a troll
How rare are 300+ moose compared to great ones btw?
Not as rare probs but still kinda rare tbh
301+ are the really rare ones
I have one so that's pretty cool.
Ohhh allright
I was just curious cause I thought they are comparable in rarity to 270+ reds or something.
If im not mistaken I have heard 270+ reds are around go rarity?
Congrats
Kills?
had 2 dimes and a troll on the map today
cmon two toned typical rack GO moose
I have for some reason got a very high amount of guaranteed troll red deer spawning at the moment.
Mayb good sign?
Idk, nothing has spawned so far.
Also quite a few diamonds have spawned but that's just hm doing it's thing I guess.
The sign i have heard is theres loads and loads of 8's which just spawn out of nowhere
When it comes to moose, do you recommend setting up on zones with 2 or more bulls
i try to set up on zones with at least 2 bulls and 2 cows (ideal is 3 cows 2 bulls)
Okay.
I have had an unusual amount of 8's the past 2 or so days.
Maybe im actually getting close finally.
