However, every boss you fight requires you to buy a lure at a loss of 10. Since you can’t even begin the Sacred Hunt until you can afford your first lure, you need to be ambushed a minimum of three times before you can participate.
The warpaint only costs 1 and should last for a full hunt, but you also need to spend another 3 for the teleport potion too. For a full hunt, that adds up to a deficit of -54 Fangs just for participating.
In a full hunt to the final super boss, you will collect 110-160 Fangs, but after the costs, you are left with a net profit of only 56-106 Fangs.
Buying every recipe and a single Werehyena pet would require 3480 Fangs. That is an average of 43 full hunts.
And since recipes are per character, that is an additional 43 for every server someone plays on.
I think that, at the very least, every Fang-dropping creature should have their drops increased by 10, the cost of a lure, including the ambushers.
Alternatively, have a few locations where we can actively hunt down the Hunter creatures so starting this whole process isn’t a multi-day prayer to RNGesus.
We should ask for trade option with the child of ghebalsag the werehyena that helps us get to the sacred grove. Trading feral flesh for teeth maybe? Or maybe flesh of remembrance for teeth?
I would even be fine with that grind if it was ancestral knowledge. But it isn’t.
Many people switch servers or play on more than one server. Be it to take a break from PvP madness or because their server dies/gets overpopulated. (Whatever the reasons might be)
It should be ancestral knowledge, but the way it is right now it smells more like FOMO… and a desperate attempt to get the player counts up again.
The irony is that it is actually punishing to play right now with that amount of problems chapter 4 has caused.
To be entirely fair, they did note that the hunt would rotate back in periodically.
How often?
Who knows.
But because it isn’t ancestral knowledge, all of the rewards, all of the scrolls to learn to make the stuff, can be spawned in.
Only official servers are left with little recourse other than waiting it out. On a private server, one can appeal to the server admin. They may say no, but it is an option.
Overall, while far too grindy, it is a bit better than trying to acquire mad prophet gear. This one still is irked there is no recipe for that stuff. Or at least no recipe for making illusions for it.
The lure’s decay timer should also be shortened. We had a crash on my home server probably 20+ times yesterday. I was on when I could be, but logging in this morning it was down by a whole hour. I can kind of understand why it doesn’t decay offline or whatever, but with my current progress I won’t finish this season.
you know, I tried to make and pass the event but it didn’t work out, I didn’t have enough patience and I don’t have enough time to do at least a little bit every day and the recipes are very expensive Yes, and then I asked around on the official servers if anyone does anything I was surprised by this, everyone just didn’t care, it was so useless and an expensive event
I don’t know of a single person in the server I play who’s actually giving a rat’s ass about this. and it’s a very populated one. Personally I was willing to grind it out, until I realized it wasn’t even ancestral knowledge. ain’t no way buddy. not this much of a grind.
It is not clear why no one reacts to these werehyenas and no one resists them. Today one of them attacked a large corrupted kappa with burning eyes and killed him with 2-3 blows with his paw, and he did not resist.
It is also unclear why no experience is given for killing them.
I’ve gone through at least twelve day/night cycles and have not been ambushed while opting into the hunt. I just repaired my private server and I’m hoping that will fix my problem. Anyone have any other ideas on how to get my first night ambush?
yeah you don’t get enough fangs, also it needs to be permanent if its not ancestral knowledge, its been over a week and i have 50 fangs, i just want the damn Lemurian braziers , they’re 150, i’ll never make it by the 15th, i was exited for this event, but it just sucks.
Damn … I haven’t been able to play properly it yet as our server crash every 30 - 45 min since the update, because of meteor showers, and then reboot at noon.
We have longer day/night cycle so at best, when the server crash after 45 min, the night barely start.
Well… of course we could IF we have admin rights.
(In fact i did on my private server)
But shouldn’t the grind be fun?
(I mean … in the current state most things aren’t fun anyway)
… but we shouldn’t have or even want to admin us through the game.
Ironically it’s impossible to play right now without admin controls.
If i would lose my best fighter thralls, on a “public toilet” without any chance to revert it, only because i came too close to sinkhole (or one of the other instant death zones) i would lose my sh¡t.
And now imagine this happens while you’re farming fangs for this insanely grindy event!
