If this topic is in the wrong category please move it.

Alright where should i begin

So i have been macroing for like a week and i finally had the chance to go hunting and explore the world.

I started with the stupid imps above britain GY because they killed me a few days earlier so i casted a few EVs and they died with pretty good loot.

I then headed to wrong and this was something i was going to regret big time, while in wrong i went to the second level to find something harder to kill and somehow i found it the hard way. The teleporter sent me to some kind of beast that insta kill me because teleporter put me right on top of it.

Okay bad start, how do i get out so i can resurrect and grab my body? haha what a joke, i had huge problems finding the exit because some staffmember thought it would be fun for the player to not find the exit.

I then i found the exit after quite some time, so i went in again to grab my body and guess what? the teleporter sent me right on top of the insta kill monster and after 3 tries i gave up and used the stuck service because i didnt want to spend 30 minutes trying to get to britain.

Okay i logged off because i was very very pissed, next day today i took another chance to hunt and figured i would start out slowly and went to britain GY and well you know what? i died, hard guess huh? the liches fired away 30 spells in 1 second and killed me and you should have seen all the sparkles and effect because it was kinda cool.

Okay last chance, i went to the maze outside britain and found my self a skeleton dragon who wooped my ass so bad that i almost took my own life IRL because this dragon and i could fire and cast spell through the hedges so fast i didnt even have the chance to react in a human way.

so im about 30 000 short on trying to hunt.

How was your day?

My day was fine, Im still having the side efects of a birthday on last niight, bust the rest is Ok.


Wrong is not good for new people, Got the most ****ed monster of the shard, they guy you meet.

I dont know you, but if I know after certain teleporter have a ****ed guy, the first thing I was going to do is enter Hided, If you dont had the skill you could precast invis on you and run into the gate.

Anyway those are just some tricks we learn along our lifes.

Good luck next time!

I sugest Ice Dung for you start hunting.

Thanks for joining the discussion Ryuuku, i know about the stealth/hide trick but it wouldnt help me in this situation im afraid except pre cast invis spell which would have worked i guess if i knew there was a insta kill monster on the other side of the portal.

I appreciate that but im not sure if im going to continue on this path.

Im just trying to point out that hunting have some serious flaws as to "magic" creatures have messed up spell casting which means you have pretty much no chance to survive when they gank you.

Some call me retard for hunting with reagents etc? i guess they hunt with poisoned newbied dagger? provocation? but is that the only way?

The dungeon wrong is just plain stupid, sorry but it is because the teleporters are VERY hard to find when your dead and everything is gray and not to mention the teleporter with insta kill.

[imported_Epistemology]

My suggestion for hunting is using stealth and/or invis spell with blade spirits/ev scrolls and bow and arrow. If you want, hit me up in game and I can go hunting with you some time and I also have quite a few blade spirit scrolls I can hook you up with to get you started.

[imported_Murry]

Yeah I don't really think the hunting is messed up at all. It just takes some getting used to. Learning the tricks of the trade I guess you can say. The Hard monsters that your talking about are hard because they give good loot. Stuff that drops good stuff is supposed to be hard or the shard would be all messed up.
Im not going to list all the trix here but if you find me or almost any ministry member they would be glad to escort you on a hunt to help you out and show you some spots.
Everyone dies when they are exploring a unknown dungon for the first time. And wrong was not a good choice for a first time hunt alone.
Good luck and I hope to see you in game.

I was kidding when I said to hunt with no regs D:

[imported_Fallzone]

I appreciate all the offers i get from you guys!

Okay i can buy that wrong has hard monsters that insta kill you on teleporting "still dont see the point there" but britain GY with monsters that insta gank you in a second doesnt feel alright to me.

You guys are experienced INX players but im not and along with many other new players that joined up after Beta looking for a sphere 51a look alike server.

It also seems that magic monsters casts magic really fast with lots of spells and when they are done they just stand there because they used up all their mana?

Im just trying to express my opinion...

I Think those xtreme lichs on Brit Grave had to be moved, its to close to a common town so new players use to go hunt there, and they are too strong for new players.

And yes, The magic monsters dump you till go out of mana, after that most of them turn into weak sauce.

Tips:

• GM Resisting Spells for magic monsters. They have huge burst damage, but run out of mana pretty quickly.
  
• For monsters that have lots of mana, find a way to trap them in a poison field. They'll constantly cast cure on themselves instead of damage spells.
  
• An alternative to poison field is a summoned serpent told to attack.
  
• GM Provocation and Peacemaking, use them to make monsters fight each other and stop attacking you.
  
• Earthquake is a good way to farm lots of monsters at once if you can get large groups together.
  
• Practice in easier areas until you get the hang of it. The area outside of the Mercenary Camp was intended to be an after-newbie-dungeon area for people to get the hang of fighting tougher monsters.
  
• Physical attacking monsters can be trapped between two walls of Stone in an X formation and bowed down. You can do this with magic monsters too, but they can still cast. See the poison trick.
  
• Paralyze Field can be used to control large groups of monsters, and if you stand at the end of a field and shoot something inside, it will get stuck again when it walks toward you.
  
• Two people at opposite ends of a paralyze field can take turns hiding to make the monster switch directions.

I can totally relate to what you are saying.. You have no idea how much I can relate to your first post.. lol That SAME EXACT scenario happened to me .. The brit gy.. wrong.. the insta kill monster inside a small ass cage... So yea.. See for me I started on XUO/NOS where hunting was straight forward and simple... However.. Here on INX you must pick and choose your battles according to skill level. Now after I received an ass beating in wrong and had to run for 45 minutes to town.. I knew I had to take a different approach to hunting. So basically here is a good little bit of information..

Hunting by Location..

About all dungeons are over crowded with shit ass monsters no one gives a shit to kill and are there to just annoy.. Almost all dungeons have such a winding retard maze within them it makes you not want to hunt there..
Example: Shame i guess you could say level 7? lol.. I died and my only way out was a 6 island hop with invis teleporters everywhere.... Now after spending 2 hours getting to the location and then to die with no way out and invisible tele pads infront of you that you try passing for 2 hours to get just out of the dungeon so you can run for another 45 minutes back to town.. Not very appealing but whatever.. "Pick and choose your battles"

All and all man you just need to find some nice good locations to hunt. Bring a partner and the correct supplys. You will find as you find better spots and bring the correct resources things will get alot easier... Just like macroing your character.. getting started sucks!

[imported_ScareCrow]

Just PVP bro, I gave up on hunting since day 1 :icon_twisted:
