Basic Hunting Tutorial

Pixie+2A gives 20 points of protection and is enough to take Atrax young and mature, and Gnome+5A is enough to take Atrox young and mature. Against Feffoids, Gnome(Goblin)+5A is easily enough to hunt up through Raider. Also you don't explain the value of plates well enough. When used properly they allow you to get the same protection for lower decay, and spend less peds on armor. It is almost always better to use armor with plates than to use armor alone. Unfortunately, someone reading the guide would come away with the impression that plates increase overall decay cost, and would end up not using them.

not trying to hijack or troll but your bring up good points

keep in mind this game and even alice's guide is a work in progress. she can't help ma changes things or ideas on how to play change as well. it is all dynamic after all and there is only so much time in the day to do it all.

thank you alice for your effort on your guides

the remarks regarding atrax young in shogun are correct

trox in pixie 2a however, that gives you 10 more damage per hit
can get hard


feffs i never used kobold for i gotta admit as well (dont own shogun either)

before update i did up to guard naked, and then i had ghost usually

i just thought if feff, likely kobold will do
especially if you plate it

[PrinceYumil]

Gnome+5A gives 26 protection against trox, good enough against young and mature. Kobold+5a is good against big Feffoids, Walord and up, because you actually need the 25 protection and Kobold is a cheap armor. In case you haven't noticed, 5A plates are awesome, because they are low markup and give the 2nd best protection you can get apart from 5Bs.

COOL! I can never remember which loot rules are which. And while I understood the basic types of damage on armor, I didn't know which kinds were best. I saw pictures and I LOVE the look of the Paladin armor! I have a mixed suit though....... pixie, gremlin, shogun, samurai and Goblin

I'd rather chop off my avatar's arm than give up my opallo. I LOVE that gun!

Hey.... aaah, I had a question. I hunt exauro's a lot because they're so easy to kill, and rather spastic so they're easy to pull hunt. But I noticed that I get better loot hunting the little ones at N. Atlas than I do the swarms of Dominants and Alphas down by Twin! What's up with that? Is it some kind of built in noob blight made by mindark to make my life miserable? Or is it just my breath?

The loot theory that I suport (and that might be totaly wrong) is that every mob that spawns is loaded with its loot, and if it dies from natural causes (drowning) the loot gets back to the next batch of spawning animals.

Noone has any prove of any theorys, and to be hones noone will ever have one either. If someone gets a spreadsheet for how the loot works right now, MA will change it straight away, it is suposed to be random.

If I dont make sence send me a PM and I get back to you tomorow, to drunk right now,

Nice post
+rep for sure
PS: you have maxed Opalo?! W00t?!

[Gwen Ryuunami]

Maxed nothing, at this rate I'm going to be lucky to repair that armor. I don't deposit very often, can't afford it. So I'm sweating forEVER.

Umm semi-related question.
First of all I would like to point out that I'm very fresh at this game...
You wrote in the melee part that you should switch to an axe when you don't have any hit bonus etc anymore. And then a few lines lower that when you first switch to the Katana's (can't remember the names something determination) You should have around level 3000-4500 when you wrote that did you mean swordsman level? or what level is that?
Because I'm swordie level 1 (Told you I'm new <.<;; ) and well to say the least I didn't quite read the post and went out and bought one of them swords :p

So basically my question is should I just store it for a long while until I've reached a higher level swordie or can I use it now?

Thank you in advance, and if I for some reason missed a similar question and answer I'm truly sorry.
