Once Human | Start Of A Wild Adventure
A couple of days passed and I was out at it again hunting Araneatrox. To my shock, no one had looted anything decent so I loaded some ammo and went out. I would be returning to the last spot I hunted at before.
While I don’t need the zoomed-in effect from a scope. I also don’t need the increased hit ability of these new items I acquired. As I am already using a gun I have maxed out my hit chance. Some other benefits should cover the cost of these over the long run.
These three items have quite a high efficiency on them. As a result, they add a slight efficiency to my overall gun. They can also be repaired which my gun and gun amp cannot be. So while they are adding a slight cost to my setup I’m not paying extra markup outside of what I already have as a one-time thing for sights and scope.
They also give me a slight skill gain modifier. If I had bought this years ago that part alone would have made these worthwhile. It’s just one of those things you think you will get around to and don’t. I have quite a long list of things I’d like to get and this just ended up being on the cheaper side of things since I could buy them off the auction house from other players.
Everything else attached to the gun is what I normally have. An extender since they are lower in markup to buy and absorb some of the decay of the item it is attached to. Along with an amplifier for more damage and higher efficiency for the gun.
Araneatrox also die if they remain in the water for too long. That is something to be careful of to avoid getting killed by accident by water. If for instance, I get a lot of them spawning into the area where I no longer have the room I need to move around in. I can always just pull them into the water and let the environment deal with them for me.
During this hunt, I also hit animal looter level 25. A very long-term goal of mine is to get this into the high 80s to 90s one day. I would not be shocked if many years from now if I was still playing I was nowhere near it.
I do at least end up hunting a lot of creatures that are classified as animals. Each time I kill one and loot it I have a chance at gaining skills that will contribute to the animal looter profession. There are also quite a lot of other skills that count towards it as well. Including many I choose from as codex rewards.
While many players choose to hunt here. I decided it was just not the spot for me. I don’t die a lot but I’m still at a point on these where I’ll get killed a couple of times during a given hunt. This is still quite a large reason why I’m growing to not enjoy this area as much as I do over the other spot I knew they spawn at.
If things don’t start to turn around somewhat. I’m going to have to call hunting these things entirety. It is more than true that these are a much higher level than something I should be hunting in the first place. I however find it more fun than practical in doing so. It is also nice to hunt something that I’m not used to encountering in my daily grinds.
