Hunting

The hunting mechanics in Masters of Raana entail a lot of different aspects that a survivalist must take into consideration.

Finding a good spot

A red antlers or pelt icon indicates that there is a hunting location. Each location is unique with its own set of texts, events and skill prerequisites. It might take some exploration before you find that perfect spot best suited for your playstyle.

Available hunting locations

• Imogen's Barrow (large game)
• Avonmore Island (small game, quest-locked)
• Corazon jungles (small game, quest-locked)
• Blackfang valley (large game, if player has defeated local charucks)

Animal pool

Each spot has a unique pool that tells the area's abundance or scarcity when it comes to huntable game. A low value (2 or below) means a hunter suffers a severe penalty in all his tracking attempts (Survival skill). However, an area with an animal pool of 8 or higher means that the forests are rich with beasts, providing the player with a noticeable chance bonus instead.

The animal pool usually replenishes with up to one point per day. Pools cap between 6-9.

Preparations

Before starting a hunting session (Cost: 2 hours, 5 Stamina points, 5 ammo), you must choose your preferred weapon and hunting method.

Weapons

• Rifle: (Chance +5)
• Shotgun: (Chance +12 when hunting small game, less skins/pelt yield)
• Crossbow: (Chance -9, higher skins/pelt yield)

Hunting methods

• Search prey: (greater success chance during rainy days, lower success chance during sunny days, greater success chance right before dusk, lower success when hunting small game (pelts))
• Stand hunting: (lower success chance during rainy days, greater success chance right after dawn, greater success when hunting small game)
• Decoy: (greater success chance during warm and sunny days)

Yields

Hunting provides you with skins , pelts and raw meat that you'll be able to either refine or sell directly to vendors.
