Hunting is one of the seven tier 1 crafting skills. It allows you to fish, track and skin animals, use snare traps to catch small animals and animal traps and slaughter them in your inventory and to damage and root big animals.

Hunting

You can track peaceful and aggressive animals by right clicking the ground to Look for [Peaceful/Aggressive] Animals. This will create almost straight tracks from your position to the position of the animal and follow them when they move.

The quality of the yield depends on the animal quality, type and quality of the used knife (Skinning knife > Knife > Primitive knife) and the effective Hunting skill level

• Note: The tracks can spawn underground and be invisible. Move a few tiles and try it again until you find visible tracks.
• Note: Tracks can periodically be underground. Imagine, they would still go into the same direction and follow them about 50 tiles, they should re-appear.
• Note: The found track isn't necessarily from the the closest animal.

Hunted and skinned animals can serve as a source of Game meat for Household and Cooking, Hides for Procuration and Ingredients for Alchemy, but they can also be tamed and bred with Animal lore.

Using traps

Snares can be used with Hunting 30 to catch Chickens and Rabbits. The quality of the caught animals depends to a third each on the snare quality, which gets crafted with Artisan, the ground quality and the effective Hunting skill level.

Animal traps can be used with Hunting 60 to damage animals and root them for a few seconds. They won't tame those animals. The dealt damage depends on the quality of the animal trap.

Slaughtering

Chickens and Rabbits can be slaughtered in the inventory by right clicking and choosing Slaughter! without using any tool.

Fishing

Each body of water can be used for fishing, the type of the caught fish depends on the region.

The quality range of the caught fishes only depends on the effective Hunting skill level. The ground and water quality and also the quality and type of the used Fishing pole don't matter.

Skill ID 51

Hunting is one of the three tier 1 crafting skill tree branches. It allows to fish, track animals, hunt them and use snare traps to catch small animals and animal traps for the big ones. Those animals can serve as a source of meat for Cooking and Ingredients for Alchemy, but they can also be bred with Animal lore. There is no prerequisite to this skill. Note that using the Tracking ability will reveal a trail that you have to follow, and you cannot "back-track" an animal. Furthermore, it is not the path the animal previously took either, just a randomly generated path that takes into consideration the proximity of wild animals. It is also possible to see tracks leading into the lake or sea, as animals can potentially spawn underwater.

How to Hunt

Hunting is done with either bare hands (not advisable) or a weapon.

	Wolf	Hostile	60	Track Aggressive

Fishing

The quality of caught fish varies a lot, but the quality is affected by the soil on the tile that is directly underneath the water surface you are fishing from.

To get high quality fish you need to drop high quality soil into the water and fish on that specific tile. The quality of the fish will still be very random, but the highest quality fish you catch will be much higher than when fishing from low-quality soil water.

Training Tips

Have a piece of advice for effective training? Edit this section and place it here!

• Fishing is the most useful way to level up Hunting. Skill gain is good, Fishing poles are cheap, and the fish are good source of food and leveling up Cooking.

• Tracking is the best way to level up Hunting if fishing is not easily accessible., especially if you macro it.

• If level 60 is reached the tracking ability is widened to sows, boars, wolves etc, these animals are much easier to kill with the current combat system and are generally a faster way to acquire hunting-related items such as bones and hides. Before tracking, it is advised to only equip combat gear as either quick pursuits or retreats are needed on many occasions. For practical reasons a grass detail of 0 in the video options can help tremendously, as it will get rid of all vegetation making tracks easier to see and follow.
