The Mob Ladder - A guide to what mob to hunt next

[Oleg]

Bump - still looking for more suggestions before I re-edit this list.

Noobs should be aware that they should check what their armour protects against. Beginner armour, Pixie, Goblin and Gnome, do not protect against Stab or Penetration damage for instance, and that means that some mobs such as Merp are not as easy as their level implies.
Aggression is another factor which raises the difficulty of some mobs. Even if you can handle single mobs of a type, it can be difficult to survive Merps and Tantillions because you may get lots of them coming at you at once.

not entirely relevant to this thread but malcruentor, hispidus, miner bots and globsters can all be killed by anyone with a decent long range weapon...ie 100m +, no armour and no fap....and its a fun hunt too...lot of running and turning around involved tho, and usually a trek to find the next one u can do this with armax too...but they WILL catch you eventually :P

Just revisiting this thread.

I've made a few changes to the ladder based on comments from others, and I've added a paragraph about aggression in the explanation.

More comments always welcomed.

This is some thing I was looking for as a ref. to hunt. One small suggestion. Could you also class a skill lvl of a char into each class. That should be helpful when I can move up to the next mobs

For example: I still consider a beginer and my hunting skill are

11. Riffle - 1650 point
10. Range laser hit
8.7. Range laser damage.

Are those the skills you have on opalo right? Then yes you are as green as salad.
If you unlock Markmanship (wouldn't take long anymore in your case) you would be beginner IMHO.
But since skills are nerfed and SIB limited crap fills the loots skills higher then 50 in profession standing aren't really important anymore.
Unless you want to hunt unlimited but after 7000 in a skill it seems to go slow as hell I've heard (I find it fucking slow at 4k already)

Well i don't want to see the speed of Alertness after 7k lol but combat skills like rifle and lwt still moves at a decent speed i'd say. It's slow but it's absolutely not impossible to get much further. U wont take 50 lvls in a day, (unless u have MM or something i don't know about that hehe) but u can easily take 10-15 rifle lvls per day with just some regular gun. Ofc 10-15 lvls / day requires a few hours in front of the screen though

I'm actually max out the Breers M3a and using the Riker 2 (L) right now. I just like to know when I should consider move up to the Mobs scale. (I could kill the Axtrax young to old alone with out Fap) I also unlock the Markmanship 2 weeks ago.

Thanks for assuring me a little bit
