Hunting Skills

[arctic pilot]

Shoot to slow, throw a trap, stun the target, lure the target with a charm effect, inflict bleed.. there are many ways to improve Hunting right now. From how to handle the cargo to how to play it. But I think making the process more exciting is the key to a more finalized feature.

Hunting can easily be fixed by having the goats, bird, and etc, just become aggressive when attacked/provoked. look at RuneScape. You smack a cow. It’s gonna fight back.
This allows the leather set evasion % to have a purpose too.
Sprinting around the chasing down an animal that can sprint up a hill vertically, while our character pathing gets sucked on a tree or stone

Or add a proficiency that we can learn to use our bow while riding a mount

I think it's cool hunting is different, don't make it the same as the other gathering professions nothing wrong with it being a little more time consuming. If people don't like hunting they can do something else. Hunting is exciting for me for the very reason of it being different

Yes I vote yes for FIGHTING wild animals.
In some games, even a slime can attack and bully me , so why not a bird ?

You can hunt and use the xbow while mounted. Its just super buggy.

Xbox isn’t for hunting though. That specifically for hostile mobs

[pale dragon]

it's a nuisance in the sense that chasing a bird around, getting the cargo that doesn't allow you to run just to bring it back to your mount. rinse repeat.
this system can easily be fixed with

• Proficiency training allowing us to sprint with cargo
• Hunt from mount
• Hunting mobs attack back
• increased damage of hunting bow. it's only purpose is to hunt so why not make it deal a bit more damage.

It starts to become a major bottleneck for small communities if they don't have dedicated hunters. we're working as a 3 man and were still kind of struggling. luckily we got T3 settlement and we can sit for a bit

I think the biggest thing they could do would be adding a baiting/ trapping to it like If you want to chase then chase but maybe if you bait them/ trap them you 1 tap them

[heavy agate]

Yep. You can use both the hunting bow and the xbow while mounted though! Sorry for the confusion.

[heavy agate]

I recorded a video of it. You just have to do a lot of micro or else it glitches out.

[pale dragon]

HOW?

[heavy agate]

Tab target then press 1. You need to not be clicking the moment you are pressing 1 to shoot your bow and be in range or the game bugs out.

You can do the same on the boat

[hollow yacht]

i guess they forgot to restrict it

tbh that should be a feature for regular hunting bows as well

[proud frost]

this, because ain't no way an emu sized and shaped bird ain't gonna throw hands lol

[swift grotto]

i came back from my first t3 run and I don't think hunting is too slow or tedious to level. I went from 32 to 35 and had a good time. only thing to be changed that came into my mind is making the body protection time longer, say 5-10 mins to make it easier avoiding thieves.

But an ostrich can strike with its beak and claws .

[proud frost]

?

[inner olive]

woah this is huge. I lovee it

[frozen cove]

not sure if I understood you, did you said that a thing like sagi bird cannot attack ? ( if it was a real animal)

[proud frost]

what I was comparing the sagi bird to an emu (as it is a similar size) saying how emus are very aggressive so I was saying that it would make sense for the sagi birds to attack
