ILW nice guide. Its a nice way of keeping your economy decent. I think you may be attempting to cut down costs a little too far to be honest, for some of the reasons discussed by others in the thread.

Sometimes hunting in a land area is worthwhile. Some mobs are only present in land areas, and some of them can be profitable due to items dropped. I would say my most successful long-term hunting return so far came from an LA mob for which I had to wear armour in order to be able to hunt with opalo+106 (with very occasional emergency fapping).

The problem for me with hunting Corn Matures with breer, no armour, no fap, is that its practically impossible to loot a decent item. I think there are economical possibilities that'll produce better markup, so writing off armor, fap and LAs is not necessarily the best choice. But nevertheless I don't disagree its a good option. (you pick an extreme example to argue against armour with - seeing as atrox do 3 damage types they will cause you a lot of armour decay compared with many mobs)

Finally, just to continue in the true spirit of your guide, I think you should kill only low-agro mobs in the manner you describe, and sweat them until they attack you

One of the reasons for having this forum is for its users share and spread knowledge.

Besides, people have been hunting naked since the dawn of time - its not exactly a new concept. What's going to happen? MA decree that thou shalt hunt with armour and ye olde fap else thy will be banned?
