Acquiring IP generating move from ants

[Zeronine]

Has anyone been able to learn a move that generates IP (such as Take Aim) from ants so far?

Furthermore, has anyone experienced a cap of combat moves possible to learn from a single type of animal? After grinding ants for a while I stopped learning moves entirely (admittedly it might've just been the RNG that got so bad that I quit before I unlocked something else).

Apologies if this has already been asked, I've been searching around a bit, and it seems like some of the intricacies of the combat system for this world are as of yet undiscovered.

I am almost (like 99%) sure I've got take aim from an ant.

I've definitely gotten Take Aim from ants in previous worlds, will be on the warpath grinding for it later on tonight. Will update with results then.

Takes about 50 ant kills on average from my experience, but yeah, take aim will come eventually. you can always move to bats or foxes and use some cheese tactics.

Just to verify Magic, this observation was made in this world, or the former?

cheers for the replies in any case so far everyone!

Does it matter? I haven't killed enough ants this world to formulate a rough probability of a move, so can only use past experience. Can they? Yes.

yes. This is a thing. It was added a while back if I recall. it's in the patch notes somewhere.... I'm not finding it, and might take me a while, even if I have to manually read through them all. Just searching 'combat' from jorb got about 20 pages of hits.

edit: I had to ask jorb. I know I recall this discussion. I can't seem to find the posts anywhere in Announcements, at least, so maybe I'm just getting that old-man fuzzy brain?

Not sure what you mean by this, exactly. You can't learn every move there is from just fighting ants, but I think that should go without saying. If you mean that some particular animal species seems to be less and less likely to teach you something the more you learn from it, then that is at least kind of true: There's a fixed probability per fighting move that you can learn from that animal, so the more you exhaust them, the less likely you are to learn something from it, but you remain just as likely to learn that particular thing you're looking for as you were from the outset.
