Editing Hunting

== Hunting ==

'''Hunting''' is a gathering [[Skills|skill]] in which you track and kill wild game across the world's [[Biomes]]. Unlike other gathering skills, hunting is a combat activity: each kill deals damage to you, so tougher quarry demands better equipment and a stock of cooked food to keep your health up. See [[Creatures]] for the beasts of the world and [[Taming]] for capturing and raising them instead of hunting them.

Every hunt yields [[Items|Raw Meat]] — the primary source of meat for [[Cooking]] — along with chances at [[Items|Hide]] and [[Items|Bone]], staple materials for [[Crafting]] and [[Smithing]]. Grassland prey can also drop a rare [[Items|Grassland Trophy]].

== How to progress ==

Each kill grants Hunting experience and raises your Hunting level, unlocking larger and more dangerous animals that give more XP and more materials but hit harder. The '''Power''' value below reflects how much punishment an animal deals per kill — bring armour from [[Smithing]]/[[Crafting]] and healing food from [[Cooking]] before taking on high-power prey.

Most game lives only in a specific biome reached via [[Expeditions]]; you must be there to hunt it. Animals with no biome listed roam the starting grasslands.

Percentages show the chance of that drop; unmarked items are produced every time. Intervals are base times before speed bonuses. Higher Power means more damage taken per kill.
