anyone know how the animal levels work? think I've heard it mentioned but all I saw were talks of circles I have no idea what the hell they were talking about. I've only found lvl 4 foxes, and lvl 8 boars

Level of animal -> Level of Civilisation -> Vilage claims
The more vilage claims in an area the less the animal level in that area
That's my understanding since years

This is, I hope, a simple question (actually a couple of them). I have built a village idol and have a character with lawspeaking, but when I click on the idol to do the 30,000 lp with my other village member we get the message 'the idol is not yet ready.' What is up with that? Is there a waiting period like with a palisade corner post or a house? If so, why doesn't it tell me how long the waiting period is, like with a palisade corner post or house?

Once built, a cooldown of 24 real life hours must be waited and then up to five characters with the Yeomanry skill can interact with the Village Claim. The 30,000 LP cost will be divided evenly among the interacting characters.

Thanks much for the quick reply. I could not find that information anywhere else.

That's why there is the RoB Wiki

Maybe a custom client coder will put the 24 hour drytime information in one day

ty Arcanist for pointing out my misleading - RoBWiki is linked in custom clients

it has long since been replaced with a fixed level for each animal. like since 3 worlds ago.


(edit: did not mean to come off as a douche)

oh my gosh Alzheimer ...

You're right with fixed levels Kralmir !

fox level IV, boars VII, bears X, Deer X

guess since W4 (still looking for announcement)

What to do about animal levels?

Postby jorb » 05 Apr 2010 03:38
Animal levels are out of whack since wilderness spawns. You now basically have to grind up to the point where you are able to take out level ten kritters, when the whole system is designed on the premise that you should be faced with incrementally increasing levels of danger.

What I would like to do as a first step is to, quite simply, remove animal levels. I'm thinking that the foxes could be fixed on about their present level four level of danger, the boars at present level seven, and the bears at present level ten. -snip- The quality on the animals would then be a different matter altogether, namely determined by map quality points much like everything else. I've noticed when fighting ants that I, under the present fighting system, have been able to fight them since about level 7-9, started winning consistently at maybe 10-15, and more or less trash them since I got bloodlust and unarmed level 30. I'm waiting for the magical moment when I can one-shot them. I estimate that I would need around 50 to handle the foxes as they are now implemented.

-snip-

Anyways:
More realistic.
Does not compromise the wilderness spawns.
Hopefully leaves some level of danger in the wilderness.
Allows me to actually use my fighting skills on anything above ants.

The one potential issue I see with the system is that it does not allow for infinitely more challenging creatures, but, on the other hand, neither does the level system.

i've dropped it here for now

actually, the animal level can still go down, its not completely fixed.
(ive confirmed many level 9 deer this world, i remember killing even lower level deer after the change, either at w4 or w5.)

[Ninijutsu]

I can confirm 100% that I saw lvl 10 boars last world.

uh and now it's getting complicated
