The glorious guide on how to Hunt!

[Sevenless]

Has anyone mucked with stealth? Since animal aggro seems to be motion/speed based now I'm wondering if stealth plays a role.

So far the only animal I have trouble hunting are bears. Usually you just run after or enclose the animal so they wont run. But with bears you actually need a group to block him from running since chasing him will eventually enrage him and make him turn on you.

Any bear guides for solo players?

Honestly, we've killed three bears during the running phase. The enrage phase in legacy was ~100 hp or something? We've killed them through the rage chance every time so far.

I agree that's not reliable though. The one time we mess up probably dead meat.

That might be possible with a group whiling on it but I am hermiting so I need a to spread my lp on other skills, so with 25 str, agi and 15 UA I can't possible take more than one hit from an enraged bear. Nvm though I managed to bait one with a horse to a trap and managed to arrow him to death, will keep it my method from now. Almost died during baiting though.

auroch is wrong, iv had them all run away from me, so they do indeed have a panic mode

I got killed by a badger who was in aggro after i shot him with 150 hp arrow. So i guess i roll double 1 on my luck dice.

Ouch ye sounds like it, iv had every animal run, boar, auroch, deer, mouflon, badger, fox and bear. the only animal I have yet to attack is a bat and thats because I dont have use for going into a cave yet

Before that i kill my first boar because he run after the first shot. And what was strange that second boar and badger that i try to kill few hours after "stand their ground" like jorb said and knock me...badger kill me after

Yeah I definitely been feelin there is a element of randomness to fleeing, which is good.

I've noticed bats don't always run when low. I've had boar not run when low, etc.

@sevenless yeah I would hope in future certain animals run when you try and get close, such as deer/foxes and so you need stealth to aggro. I think jorbtar something similar in salem after I stopped playing.

@Kinglazy should a solo newish character really be able to solo a bear tho? I mean you can right now terrain allowing, wall in into a penisula or something crafty - but generally think its very much OK that I need friends to take a bear.

Do bears run when they have low hp ? If yes can you melee them like the others while they run ?

If most things were carried over from legacy haven, I'd think that bears probably enter a rage mode upon getting them down to a low enough health. They do not run when they are in this state.

Yes, but as soon as they enter rage mode they will melee you back; thus meleeing a bear in flee mode is not a safe nor good idea.
