I feel like contibuting to the society as well.
I want to give some tips on how to hunt animals, because I have recently been able to hunt bears, the strongest animal in this game other than other players (though one may argue that newbies are weaker than snakes
but dont worry, this tip book will help newbies hunt and eat to become stronger animals) Also, I may have mistakes or lack something in this post, feel free to point out.1. Rabbit
The easiast animal in Salem. You need to learn "self-defence" to have that "punch" attack at least.
I killed my first rabbit at YB10 B10, because I like to be safe.
The steps are:
Approach rabbit
Punch it
Run away and wait for the rabbit to come for you, wait for the moment when the rabbit is at straight path to you, this is when it is surely to attack you, when it approaches you, punch again. Then repeat run, wait, punch.
It is essential that you make sure the rabbit is coming for you to attack you instead of just jumping around. If it just jump around and you punch, then you will have that short moment of stiffness and the rabbit will attack you and you will not be able to attack back.
If you are unsure that you can hit the rabbit when it attacks you, then do not hit, because it might just run away from your hit and hit you again when you are stiff(then you get hit two times without hitting back)
This stiffness thing is consistent in hunting all animals in salem.
2.Wartbite
Also did this at YB10 B10
Can kill with punch
Same method as rabbit, initiate fight, run away, wait, hit, then repeat.
Becareful you are no reeling too much, reeling is that square thing that shows on the top left of your screen when you get hit. If you reel too much, cricket will hit you with big damage. So, after each fight, wait for your reel to decrease.
You probably want to get sabre and fencing for snakes, beavers, deers, bears.
3.Snakes
I did never punch snakes. Only waited until I had fencing and 20YB
With "Thrust" and 20YB you can one-hit-kill this thing, this is important because if it bites you even only one time, you will be poisoned and be dead eventually unless you drink the potion which costs 250silver for 10 uses. For NOOBS, who probably will not buy this potion, do not fight snakes until 20YB and thrust so you can One-Hit it.
When you have ur sabre and 20YB, just walk to it, when you are around 0.5 cm away from it, (it usually will not initiate attack to you so soon) use ur thrust and it will die.
In case, snakes attack you first, YOU SHOULD WALK AWAY FAST and then at a safe distance, wait for the snake to crawl to you, when at around 0.5cm, thrust it, and it will die if you have 20YB without bite you.
Snakes are good for their etterfang and rainbow scales, good artifice.
Also, when you lift old logs, snakes might spawn at random, becareful.
4.Beavers
Not so sure what YB you need. 20YB and 20B should be good with thrust and sabre.
When fighting beavers, walk to them, thrust, and you have to FOLLOW THEM, DO NOT WALK AWAY. Follow them but not too close, have like 1cm. If you do not follow, they will use their BEAVER DANCE to get you, they will start spinning and you will lose many HP. So just dont walk too far. If you ever do initiate this beaver dance, then just walk far away until their dance stops. After you follow them, they will often turn around or to side, you keep following until they stop at somewhere they can no longer continue walking (such as your body, or cliff, or deep water) then you thrust at them again. They will probably turn to you and hit you when you hit them, but with 20B you should be able to stand this damage. Just do not waste your attacks and only attack when certain.
5.Deers
25YB I suppose, not so sure.
Similar as beavers, thrust, follow, it is important to follow because deers can charge at you if you are further away, charge deal 10 damage while normal hit only 4 damage. Follow and wait for deer to either stuck or run into you, when it runs into you, you can attack it and you will not miss. So follow it.
6.Bears
I use the get the deer to kill your bear old trick to do this.
Find a bear, find a deer or 2 deer, attack the deer, then walk to the bear (or use run or wander) and let the deer fight the bear by walking around the bear and wait for them to fight each other. the deer usually loses but it will deal 20 or so damager to the bear, you can choose to kill the bear yourself or use another deer.
The drawbacks in this methods are:
The bear attack you first, you have to just keep following the bear but avoids its hits until ur deer finally fight the bear. You probably need high BB like 50 for this since bear will FEAR you which drain your BB.
if you choose to fight bear on your own then you need 50 stats. Use your hunting techniques that you learned, since if you have 50 stats, I probably have nothing to teach you. Just avoid the bears special attack the one when he stands up and roar, if this is cast at near distance to you, you lose at least 20 HP or more, I lost 31 one times. If cast at further distance like 1cm, you lose 5hp, but you get stunned for 3 second-ish. So when he stands up, RAN AWAY.
If you want to kill bear without deers, then have 70 STAT or lower but with gears full of COOL artifice, so you can kill bear in 4 hits. and just do a blood for blood attack method with it.
THE END
BTW, I feel sad if no one reply this post. Please make some reply to make me look not so bad.
