Animal hunting difficulty

Did it take long?
I think kiting on horse makes it pretty easy to kill animals.

I think running around in a circle tapping it once in a while for roughly 30-50dmg took me like 5-8min, is what I've done vs any new tougher animal I've come across. I found my horse a couple of days after I started playing by walking around randomly, so I'm not really comfortable facetanking stuff yet, except for foxes and mouflons.. Horse is definitely MVP

Horse kiting is pretty much cheesing like fighting mammoth using rocks.
You can even cheat trolls since high quality arrows aren't hard to get.
Even if you aren't cheesing the animals having friends to fight with makes them easy too.

go on? I've been trying to figure out how anyone manages mammoths without monster stats.

do you just trap them in a load of rocks then back off to close openings between attacking?

use a long cliff? no clue :p

pls report findings

[azrid]

lure it on cliff
block from behind with rocks
put rocks between you and mammoth under cliff so snot doesn't hurt you

enjoy free mammoths

oh and then use bow? I didn't realize bows were still so heavily used for cheese-hunting

In case you have arrows of high enough quality (so they are unlikely to cap the quality of the mob) it could be a plan, it surely isn't one with q10 ones.

[hazzor]

to be fair with the quality of materials quite easily available at this point I can't see it being much of an issue most of the time.

Normally you use a melee weapon. The higher the damage on it the faster you kill mammoth.
You retreat behind the rocks to lower your openings after a hit on mammoth.

You may also construct a trap palisade with 2 rooms on a mountain.
Trap mammoth in one room while being in the other.
Walls are thin enough so you can attack mammoth through.
