Rares Highlighted in the Harvest Screen.

[rich wind]

Back in a day when the game was just released, the only rare furs for animals we knew in the game were the basic Piabald, Leucistic, Albino and Melanistic ... years later, today we have tons of animals in the game and they all have their unique fur/plumage types. It has become really hard, almost impossible, to remember which one of those fur/plumage types are rare for which animal, and we don't want to shoot a rare and not save the trophy for the lodge not knowing it was a rare at the moment and regret some time later when we find out.

The suggestion here is that the rare fur/plumage types should be highlighted in the harvest screen so the players know if they found a rare animal or no.

These are 2 options on how this can be implemented into the harvest screen.
• Written, highlighted note next to the plumage/fur type stating that it is indeed a rare.
• Having the rare plumage/fur types themselves be highlighted a different color so it stands out implying that it's not common.

Here are the edited examples of how it can look like in the harvest screen.

P.S. The color of the highlight used in these examples is the iconic Call of The Wild orange because it is also present on the right side of the harvest screen and can go with the overall picture in the game.

[fierce coral]

I like the idea of them being highlighted, maybe they could be different colors for different rarities, like uncommon, rare, and very rare

[rich wind]

Yes! maybe if it's uncommon then it's yellow, if rare, it's the iconic orange and very rares could be highlighted red. Regardless, I do believe if devs implement something like this, it would really be appreciated in the community, cause I for example, can't for the life of me remember all the rare plumage types for all the new waterfowl species lol.

[fierce coral]

I think it would be really good for when new species come out, as I remember shooting a dark brown raccoon dog the day Rev came out and not knowing it was rare. Something like this would be very helpful

[rich wind]

I didn't even know dark brown is a rare fur for raccoon dogs till now lol, I don't hunt them much and if I were to find one ... I was just going to claim it without saving, not knowing what it was

[fierce coral]

Yeah I really like that they've been doing some more unique rares for species, but sometimes it's just really hard to tell if something is a rare because they don't look all that different from commons

[proper zinc]

You would think something like this would be in the works if not already in testing? As stated there are so many various fur colors that the game needs a gui hint for the users. I also think that when using the 'disturbed vegetation' perk it should say it, along with the fur type.

[rich wind]

Yes!! I play the game for 4 years now and really surprised this isn't in the game already

[thorn basin]

Yeah, I was grinding mallards on Revontuli the other day, and i harvested an amazing piebald gold mallard, only figured out that part when I checked my latest harvests to see how many in total I shot.

[fierce coral]

Well good news is that piebald mallards aren't rare

[storm pine]

Thank you for this suggestion.

[rich wind]

I honestly think that would be a great addition to the harvest screen to have rares highlighted as such.
Common - Green (same)
Uncommon - Yellow
Rare - Orange
Very Rare - Red

Plus, an addition to that, it would be amazing if the rares were highlighted in the lodges while viewing the trophies with the Investigate Mode, so ... let's add this to https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1084684824561864724 as well.

Here are few examples used with the 2nd option out of 2 that are mentioned in this post.

[vital plover]

I'm probably going to get flack for this suggestion, but tying into your comment about disturbed vegetation, maybe only have the rarity displayed if you have both the Disturbed Vegetation and Track Knowledge skills learned.

I understand the point is to make it convenient when you look at it, and implementing this idea won't preclude others from creating charts and spreadsheets that you'd have to look at to confirm anyway. But if it's already done that way and people are using that method to verify, then make it a bonus in game that ties into what's already established. Make the skill feel more impactful to actually have it.

If you don't have the game skills and don't realize it, then it's simulating your experience as a hunter like you would IRL. The more you hunt the more you know and remember.

[fathom geode]

Bump

[spare dawn]

It would be great to know what the rares were.

[wanton terrace]

Yes this would be amazing! Also with full spotting knowledge it should say the fur type when spotting! Could maybe be an addition to the disturbed vegetation skill to make it more valuable

[storm pine]

The casual lever 5 mela fallow deer flex 😭

Troll 😭😭 Honestly that Fallow deer is what motivated me to edit and post https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1084684824561864724 ... I would really love for it to show in the lodge that it was indeed a lvl 5, even tho didn't make diamond!!

I'd rather see the words common, or rare next to the information

[echo anvil]

[spare dawn]

Please make this happen

[topaz gust]

[odd burrow]

This really needs to happen. How about "rarity" percentage in the harvest screen?

[heady isle]

There’s a reason we don’t know any of the rare spawn percentages. You can access it but it requires datamining which is considered cheating

[tranquil mist]

Why are we booing you,you are right? hahaha

[heady isle]

Yeah I dont know why the dude gave me a thumbs down but spawn percentages can only be acquired through datamining. The devs have reasons to not want us to see said spawn rates

[latent fog]

[balmy linden]

Still all for this. Sometimes I can't even tell if a fur is rare unless I search it up online.

[mortal badger]

Having this option would save a lot of time if you are doing some kind of grind.

I'm all for them redoing the harvest screen again. I am not a fan of the new screen for several reasons. 1. I'd love it to tell the rarity. 2. now the information on the left is too low and if you are a streamer you and on that side your head is covering up the information on screen. 3. the way they have done bullet hits on the right to be over and under the other information is just stupid. Change that back to the way it was or fix it some other way.

[rich wind]

[spare dawn]

Hello there! I wanted to talk about something that's been talked about a lot so please don't hate me or do. 🙄. So here we go regarding the rare fur type spawn ratio. It's not the same. I know I know what ur going to say but there is no way it's always been the same and my lodges will prove that. the spawn ratio is Impossible. Let me take that back you will once in a while get a Pieball or Malnestic Moose and don't get me started on some of the animal's rare colors like the Malnistic Moose. THE BIRDS I could go on and on. 🤯. Check out the Geese sometime.
I wanna say the time frame of the variation was different from the Africa Map around that time. ( I could be wrong on the time frame) it got worse with each new map the rare fur type became impossible to come across. and it's frustrating?? 😊 Why make more fur variations if you can't ever get any?

Please I'm begging you. You don't even have to admit anything Just slowly put it back to the original ratio or close to it. 🙏
On a Great Note The GOs. 👌 Very Nice ( very hard on the ice map but that's for another day with another rant) Thank You😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥👏. Is there a rework for the Red Dear? I haven't kept up sorry.

[static gate]

Exactly.

[hasty silo]

Yeah, like let's say its a mela whitetail that scores gold. Maybe a newer player wouldn't think it was super special unless the screen said Melanistic 'very rare'

[static gate]

Ages ago, I shot a ‘dark’ gemsbok and had no idea it was rare. Didn’t taxidermy. Haven’t seen one since.

[willow mantle]

When I started playing, I killed two dark brown lions without realising. I still haven't found another and it still pains me,

[frail geode]

I think we have all done it at some point. With me, it's been rare birds.

[hasty silo]

I think I had a dark brown raccoon dog, but I just learned they existed like 2 days ago.

[static gate]

I feel that pain and made the same mistake with a dark brown lion. Fortunately, I recently found another.

Another example: I recall shooting at least two blonde, female mallards; no idea they were rare. Would look great on the Emergency Takeoff multimount with two leucistic males.

[delicate eagle]

This is a great idea! A lot of species have some weird rates for people who don’t know much about the game.

Maybe they show this is the codex. This is an example of the app cotw guides. Add this to the codex of each animal

[willow mantle]

Awesome. Well done on reaching the 400 milestone! 🏆 🔥

[hushed magnet]

We REALLY need this, because there is shockingly little clarity on what makes a fur or plumage type Uncommon vs rare. For instance, multiple sources list Black Brown Springbok, Black White Raccoon Dogs, and Grey Mountain Lions/Pumas as common fur types, but I have picked them up and had it count toward the "Harvest X uncommon or rare fur types" missions in the hunt club

[latent fog]

That's because they're uncommon in the games code because of there spawn rate

This added would be hilarious on how many people would get confused but it would be amazing to have

[hushed magnet]

I mean, shouldn't the definition of Uncommon, Rare and Very Rare be based on the games code? I'd say them having a different spawn rate vs the standard fur types makes them uncommon by default, even if the spawn rate is 1 in 20 or 1 in 100 instead of 1 in 1000

[hushed magnet]

And speaking of which, maybe throw in a change where instead of always saying "Fur Type" it could say "Plumage Type" or "Hide Type" with animals who are not furbearers.

[latent fog]

It does already for plumage

We just got furry crocodiles and gators lol

[pure vapor]

I have shot a bunch of dark brown lions not knowing they were rare

Wow, this is nearing the 500 mark already.
I can't play right now since my external storage died but it would be super cool if this feature was added between now and when I can play again

[west cave]

In addition give the spotting knowledge skill the ability to tell fur type in the status box when spotting. It’s Impossible to tell some fur types like Mela bears at night or even piebald lynx during the day until shooting it.

[frail geode]

While I would love this, it would make the Disturbed Vegetation skill worthless.

[latent fog]

How would it make it worthless? It's for finding random rare furs from animals you wasn't able to spot

Being able to see the furs in daylight would make it worthless if that was the case

[frail geode]

True, you could still detect rares that you had not yet spotted, but being able to spot them (and thus detect them) would weaken the DV skill a bit, to the point that it might not be worth having (at least in my opinion) as an "end game" skill vs Pack Mule. As it is now, DV is very valuable as a skill because it is the only way to detect rares unless you happen to identify one visually yourself.

[stoic sigil]

this is an amazing idea, however i feel there is some fun in trying to figure out if yous hot a rare or not

[latent fog]

Also I don't know if you knew or not but if you spot a animal close enough or stay looking at it long enough it'll unlock the fur info on the tracks without picking up any vegetation

[fathom geode]

I would say disturbed vegetation also helps you track the animal better when not using the bloodhound. It seems to help me anyway. That would still be a use for it, even if we had this addition.

[willow mantle]

So we kind of got an answer to this. This is being considered but there are no plans at the moment. If we want this, the community really needs to put the pressure on this one.

[ivory badger]

Absolutely love this idea, having to look back at guides to see rare fur types on the regular does get a little annoying.

[soft ledge]

I voted for this and even though it seems like an easy change it is deceptive. right now the fur spawn is random and is embedded in the code. They are not really keeping track of whats a rare and what isn't its just a percentage chance to be a certain fur type. ...... To do this correctly they will have to maintain some external tables on an ongoing basis that tells the kill info screen what is rare and what isn't and if they don't keep that table up to date it wont work consistently ....

[rich wind]

Yeap, makes sense, well every update needs work lol, I bet even a small weapon pack coming to a game takes a lot of work

[humble hatch]

I swear this has gotta be the most highly requested non-map feature

[hasty silo]

yup

[frail geode]

I posted a version of this earlier in a separate thread, but thought it worth reposting it here.

Besides indicating the rarity, I'd like to suggest some other improvements to make the trophy screen more useful. I have dummied this up on a sample screen.

(1) The fur/plumage/scale rarity indicated by a color-code (Uncommon, Rare, Very Rare, Mission). (Orange here = Uncommon) Also some sort of icon to indicate anything other than common.

(2) The coordinates where an animal was first shot, located near the reserve name. This would allow players to check on respawns, etc. at a later date, and remind them where to look.

In-game time that the animal was shot. Again, this might be important for tracking respawns, etc.

Indication of Multiplayer or Single Player. The reason is if players are in an informal competition, this might be important to know, particularly given all of the modded multiplayer maps

(3) An IRL timestamp as to when the animal was shot next to the player’s name. This is widely used for informal competitions and currently players need to make 2 screenshots to provide this information.

(4) A indication next to the Trophy Rating if the animal is a Personal Best score for that species. Players might want to know this for deciding whether to save/taxidermy the animal.

[rich wind]

And believe or not, when the game was still in beta testing in 2017, the coordinates where the animal was shot was actually in the harvest screen, so that is something they can absolutely bring back

[humble hatch]

I do think they should still include the rarity as words instead of colour coding because new players can still easily misinterpret it as being rare because of the different colour of the label

[long radish]

I like this alot just one thing could there be a tab where you could turn off the coordinates and date/time because while it would be useful for others I just don't really like the look

Also maybe this is what the icons could look like for the different rarities

Common-○
Uncommon-●
Rare-□
Very Rare-■
Mission-◇

[rich wind]

I think the devs are gonna end up with the best decision on how to add this, our job is to keep reminding them how much we want it lol

Just confused a black bear cinnamon rare for a brown bear cinnamon and didn't harvest it. Picked up the second kill before realising. 🤦
It's beyond me why they can't add this simple feature which would make gameplay so much more enjoyable. Sigh. 😢

That's two dark brown lions and a cinnamon black bear.... that I know about. Feeling very annoyed.

[long radish]

I have done something like that a few times I think but I think one of the worst things is the fact that I have to check online all the time to see whether a specific fur or not is rare which takes up more of my time when I could just check on the harvest screen and find out whether its something to tax or not

[willow mantle]

I was rushing through a Hunt Club mission and it just took a second too late for me to realise I hadn't harvested a common cinnamon. Ah well.

I actually have very detailed spreadsheets, which I spent months compiling, that I constantly have to refer to. It's very time consuming. I feel like all this information should be in the game itself, like it is in WOTH. COTW is the only game I need to keep info spreadsheets for. It's impossible to memorise all the rare furs especially when some variations are common for other species. COTW is a rewards-based arcade hunting game that's sole purpose is finding and showcasing diamond and rare trophies but completely ignore this part of the game. This is the second highest upvoted thread on discord but they barely acknowledge it, even on the live streams. Makes no sense to me.

[humble hatch]

It really needs to be acknowledged because people could get the rarest damn trophies and have no idea that they're rare and then everyone loses

[loud cobalt]

[languid pendant]

@narrow lantern what's wrong with having extra info when spotting an animal ☠️☠️

[narrow lantern]

There's so much info that you can get about the animal already, and for rare furs especially, you can just look at them to see 🤔

If this gets added, you won't need to examine the animal at all, just shoot it from seeing the text on your screen

It's very unnecessary and it would make the gameplay more stale in my opinion

[languid pendant]

I didn't mean rare furs only, normal commons too, because there are so many variants for certain animals, it would be nice if it told you, like for example the Yak all look black but only upon closer inspection or in certain lighting you can actually tell which fur type it is

[narrow lantern]

Again, I do not agree with the idea of this

They added so much info to the spotting screen and you'd want even more? As I said, you wouldn't even need to look at them, just read the text and it tells you everything

They need to add some kind of information about rare furs into the game, yes, but not like this

[languid pendant]

I mean they already added distance to spotting info, which you can already see with the rangefinder or rangefinder binoculars, and you can also see it when you look at the map, but they still added it despite that, and it was a nice addition

[narrow lantern]

It would completely remove the element of surprise when seeing one and demolish the unique factors of rare furs - unlike any other other qualities, you can only see the fur/plumage, not read it

I'd love to see it being highlighted on the harvest screen, but definitely not on the spotting screen

[languid pendant]

fair enough actually, kinda changed my mind too, fair point

[narrow lantern]

Yes, but it didn't destroy anything, it's just simplifying an already established process

With this, you completely remove a gameplay element that was built over the years

I hope that didn't come of as very harsh or something but yeah, I hope u get my point now

[languid pendant]

okay what about another idea I had before, tru-piebaldism, random piebald patterns over any of the common fur types, making it impossible to get 2 same piebald variants, this could also be done for fur types such as black gold and all the spotted fur types for freal pigs and wild hogs

[idle grotto]

bit late to this lol but ive wanted this on top of the highlighted rare furs / coats in the harvest screen for a while ^^ making it a high tier perk / skill for when they potentially add new perks / skills i think would balance it out. You don't even have to add the highlight to the spotting UI, just have it tell us the fur type and only have it highlight it in the harvest screen.

theres so many animals and counting and while that isnt a bad thing, its pretty hard to memorize all of them + their coats (especially when some of them have some pretty weird ones) and some rare fur types are damn near identical to the common ones.

this new map being a bunch of birds would make this even better, since birds have some of the weirder rares sometimes

[rich wind]

I wonder when making Eclipse Gadwall be a common they thought about this 💀

[deep willow]

It's especially with the birds and their multitude of variations that I wish the game would indicate if I've nabbed a rare plumage, rather than me having to rely on 3rd party sources. The 3rd party sources are appreciated, but shouldn't be necessary.

[sudden glacier]

Agreed, especially when they can be inaccurate

[white wedge]

bump - for casuals who don't live in the discords it's pretty much impossible to know what is uncommon, rare, or mega rare - best of all, adding some kind of way to mark the rarity of a harvest in the harvest would benefit everyone, experienced players can just ignore it and the rest can known when they should have taxi'd something, especially as there's no way to access historic harvests the way Classic does

[light delta]

Here's my understanding: EW doesn't actually define what is rare - what we know as rare has been defined by unsanctioned programs used to detect animal-population frequencies. If this is the case, then it makes sense that EW wouldn't highlight rares on the harvest screen. Does anyone know differently?

[rich wind]

I believe whatever the case is, they can make this happen if they put the development time into it. They once said we'll never get Tahrs due to the engine, and here we are, they did the impossible

[idle grotto]

EW wanting to keep things vague doesnt come over basic player QOL imo. not like it does much besides make people check put together rescources by players and the like. they dont have to tell us exact percentages or anything, just whats rare and whats not when we kill it!

[fierce coral]

EW actually has defined rares, there was a hunt club challenge to kill rare and uncommon animals so they have a metric for it

[white wedge]

Maybe that's where it started, but we also have streamers talking about rares and super rares, and with all the variations being added, it's pretty much impossible to know what is or isn't rare unless you're playing with a wiki/spreadsheet/discord open at the same time. Moreover, with EW changing the scarcity of different variations (cinnamon bears, IIRC) it's really impossible for casuals to know whether anything other than brown or grey is in any way rare. I mean, what else are the UI coders working on? This, hopefully.

On one of the recent streams, Jaxy mentioned how EW has started parceling out work to 3rd party developers on an as-needed basis. Hopefully EW could make this community request happen even if their fulltime devs are busy with something else.

Could I also add it maybe being highlighted in the codex? Would just be easier to spot them in the wall of text and make them stand out more

How many updates it's gonna take for this to be added I wonder

Such a simple change yet such huge QOL…please EW, it shouldn’t take too long!

Still waiting for developers to add something basic like this in mid-2025...

[idle grotto]

especially with a new duck coming when they have the weirdest rares! it shouldnt be that hard

[tropic wraith]

Why everyone saying bump?

[hard gyro]

just gives an extra message so we can push this post more towards the top and more chance of it being seen by devs

[tropic wraith]

Ok

This map drop would be a good time!

Can we please get rare fur types highlighted in the harvest screen?

Can't believe they added all these Erythristic or what not rares for ducks and this is still not in the game 💀

[rapid forum]

yes its so annoying

[smoky crag]

I mean erythristic isn’t difficult to know that it’s rare, It’s basically like Albinism and Melanism and is also very rare in the wild, but I agree, this should be added. “Eclipse is rare for this but not for that” gets annoying and difficult to remember. And of course some species that have “pale” or something as a rare. So definitely a great idea in my books!

[visual shell]

Some fur types have super common names like light grey, dark brown, brown, dark grey and red brown. Not to mention other basic types like red, blonde, gold, beige and dark along with stuff like orange, crowned, ochre and blackgold. Like aside from the main 4 types (pie, mela, leu, albino) you'd almost have no idea what's a rare unless you have some sort of resource to tell you what's what.

the new map adds alot of confusing animal furs

i think if an animal has a rare fur or trophy rating and you try to harvest it without saving or taxidermizing it the game should give you a warning

[dense abyss]

Good idea

Getting someone new into the game and it’d be amazing if I could just tell them to look for any colored text with fur types instead of waiting for them to get more used to the game so I can hand them a bunch of map guide images that list all the furs out so I don’t overwhelm them….

Dunno how this isn’t implemented yet, it’s so simple!
