Get APPRENTICE Hunting EASY in Ashes of Creation Alpha 2!

[@JaceGrimblade]

I hope this guide helps! If you missed the link to Cebeet's Bard videos you can find it in the description. ❤ UPDATE!!! 11/14/2024 - Adjusted the respawn time for huntable animals, I will update this comment with new spawn times when I get those. *UPDATE 11/16/2024 - Either the Pallas cats are currently bugged or Intrepid changed the spawn rate on this specific site. It did work for me early this morning but the afternoon 4:22PM they are not even spawning at the site after waiting for 2 hours.* As of today 11/22/2024 the pallas cats were not spawning as of a half hour from servers coming up. I logged in at the location and waited to see and none spawned, unless the time was extended to 1 hour spawns, this location may be no longer viable.

[@Jaydubwill1060]

as of 12/29/24 Pellas cats still spawn at this location but the timer is longer. Some people report they are on the same 4 hour timer as other nodes. If you can get here quickly after a server reset all 3 cats will be up.

I am going to get apprentice this weekend. Thank you so much for this guide!!!!!!!!

[@JaceGrimblade]

Good luck!!

[@itssonyce7638]

Great video bro! I can tell you are getting more comfortable, look forward to the next upload!

[@JaceGrimblade]

Thanks, I don't plan on stopping anytime soon!

[@TheBedkow]

Not working anymore - they increased the spawn rate to 20-30 min

[@doratakacs8448]

How do I learn hunting in the beginning?

[@MrCwhitt75]

New Sub. Good info! And loving AOC

[@JaceGrimblade]

Thanks, I am loving too!

[@grey666fith]

Thank you for the guide. It was driving me nuts not knowing how to do things.

[@JaceGrimblade]

No problem, I will be making more as I try out different things.

[@brettwood6721]

was my 1st weekend just gone..Subbed and thumbed....coz this vid is exactly what i needed to prep for next weekend..Nice one Bruva

[@jinglyjones1677]

The bear carcass, at 4:24 you say you can level cooking with bear meat, OR you can tan them. Can someone confirm it is one or the other? IE: rather than levelling both cooking + tanning with different hunting mats?

[@JaceGrimblade]

All the carcasses can be used for cooking and tanning. IE Wolf carcass can be turned to wolf meat or can be turned to wolf hide.

[@SynGamingChannel]

Thanks for the guide bro!

[@ihaven0taste-f3e]

The amount to tame is dependent on the tax rate in the town you are doing animal Husbandry. 50% tax rate is 70 silver for example.

[@JaceGrimblade]

still going to be around 55 copper as most nodes are 5 to 10% tax currently but yes you are correct

[@KeyserTheRedBeard]

Great video, JaceGrimblade. Looking forward to your next upload! I smashed that thumbs up button on your content. Keep up the fantastic work! Your insights on grind spots and the importance of item upgrades were really helpful. Have you considered exploring the potential strategies for optimizing XP gain while hunting in different regions?

[@JaceGrimblade]

Thanks bro I really appreciate it! So far what I have found with xp changes this weekend the xp is the same regardless of region but xp has been increased on getting uncommon and up. Having upgraded gear for increased rarity will be optimal, however, I don't believe that is available to higher tiers but I have not tested the upgrading system fully yet.

[@amazenhits6741]

How do you upgrade your tools?

[@JaceGrimblade]

You have to do that either at a node or the corresponding crafting station in the world. To upgrade to Apprentice tools you have to do at a node that provides that service for the recipe to be available.

[@DallasSpadoni]

So do you have to level up hunting to 10, or get your character to level 10?

[@gamegeek1852]

I really like the rabbit mount and would love to find one of those. Have you came across any of the tameable rabbits yet?

[@JaceGrimblade]

I have not! I would really like to get one too.

[@Battlehummel]

They definitely changed spawns.. Sat there for an hour 4 spawns, got a grey and a green quality mount. spawns were ( LT)1720, 1736, 1806, 1810Literally saw a tree grown between spawns lol

[@JaceGrimblade]

Yea as I stated content and locations may change, they are making a lot of changes which is a good thing but will make some of these spots no longer viable for xp farming.

[@Battlehummel]

It's still viable to grab on your way around the map as cats are in crazy spots lol

[@JaceGrimblade]

@@Battlehummel for sure, just not a viable spot to sit and farm anymore

[@Battlehummel]

Nah ill still camp it whilst eating dinner watching a movie on other monitor lol

[@JaceGrimblade]

@@Battlehummel lol

[@jjswigger8591]

cool how DO YOU START THIS ??

[@JaceGrimblade]

You have to do "The Sweat of Your Brow" quest in Lionshold or Samias Hope and you will get the basic tool to get started. You can see the steps to completing that quest at the beginning of my solo tank guide :)

[@shadowsworld1385]

Thanks for the guide!🤩

[@Hathathorne]

can we get all the professions? or only one at a time?

[@JaceGrimblade]

You can do all the professions but won't be able to master them all.

[@Yianni-GR]

Where's a link to you friends KZbin

[@JaceGrimblade]

it was on the screen in the top right but you can find it in the description as well 😀

[@TheKrazykoolkat]

does anyone know if this was changed cuz the spawns deff were not 3 mins or was i at a wrong spot

[@JaceGrimblade]

Yes it has changed which is updated in the pinned comment. As I stated in the video depending on when you watched it content and locations may have changed.

[@ShaolinTrueMaster]

Just what I needed!🖤

[@OrnifexWaters]

To hunt, are you just required to walk up to the animal with that icon near its name and press F? Sorry just joined the Alpha since I was very sick, so im really behind on a lot.

[@JaceGrimblade]

Yes as long as you finish The Sweat of My Brow quest to get your tools and horse that is all you need to do.

[@DatzMagic_82]

hey man youre on my realm! :D

[@bullyhunter0768]

Can you store the mounts outside of you inv?

[@JaceGrimblade]

You can store them at any node or town storage as well.

[@tekdjinn]

Are these mounts any faster than the starting horse?

[@JaceGrimblade]

yes, each type has something different

[@sapfiirka4413]

Where to get / how to craft the APPRENTICE Hunting Bow? I can't find it

[@JaceGrimblade]

That you will need to do at a node. Nodes or at a hunting station in the world.

[@sapfiirka4413]

@@JaceGrimblade Can the recipe Bow only be obtained from mobs?

[@JaceGrimblade]

@@sapfiirka4413 No it is standard at the hunters station at any node

[@Eso_lags]

can you hunt these as novice with the crude bow? feel like everything i come across besides a couple grem says i need apprentice.

[@JaceGrimblade]

yes you can

[@Disstopher23]

How did u even get up there? Been trying the last 30mins and the is no way up.

[@JaceGrimblade]

I show in at the beginning of the video the path to take to get there

[@scitigeronswitch4861]

As of this comment the cats have been reset to a 90 minute respawn rate. They ARE there if you want the mount, but it's no longer a good place to farm hunting xp :/

[@JaceGrimblade]

That has not confirmed, when I get confirmation during PTR testing I will update as needed. There have been several spawn issues which I reported this weekend. At least 6 different locations mobs are spawning inside of rocks and ground or not spawning at all. Thanks for the heads up but I also updated that in the pinned comment.

[@scitigeronswitch4861]

@@JaceGrimblade An update to this reply. I successfully farmed them three times today and each spawn set took well over an hour. I also was able to harvest two more on the other peak... trade secret how I got up there, and they took just as long to respawn.

[@JaceGrimblade]

@@scitigeronswitch4861 The difference from the update was supposed to be variable respawn times so they shouldn't be set on a timer at all which is what I tested this weekend. On Vyra they were taking a hour or more even if spawning at all. On the fresh start server they weren't spawning at all and on lyneth and resna they were spawning at half hour intervals when I checked. Thanks for that info, I will add that to my data, what server are you on? I don't expect that spawn times will go back to 3 minutes but 1 hour or more is a little unrealistic when other artisan skills have numerous things to harvest to level and that would be very limiting for hunting.

[@scitigeronswitch4861]

@@JaceGrimblade I'm on Casta

[@DT-hb3zu]

I believe this was patched. Which, if you think about it, it was obviously not supposed to be like this.

[@JaceGrimblade]

Times on respawns were changed as of 11/14, as stated in the updates on the pinned comment. It is still a viable location for Pallas cats, and the other information is viable.

[@DT-hb3zu]

your pinned comment says that it may no longer be viable. Which, I think you're right, it's not. Same as the wolf spot east of Lion hold under the ruins. They spawn once on server restart, but not again. I was able to get the Pallas cats on server restart, and an hour later, they're not there. But grinding killing wolves will eventually spawn a huntable one. Which is I believe the intended method. This spot was probably a bug to begin with.

[@JaceGrimblade]

@@DT-hb3zu All huntable mobs were set to spawn at 3 minutes originally, they changed it to 30 minutes but they don't always spawn unless you kill other mobs first. There are some very good routes which I will be doing a video for after this weekends test.

[@DT-hb3zu]

@JaceGrimblade oh no, I get that normally. But not the glitched Pallas cats on the hill. I can't wait for a hunting guide though! I wonder what the spawn rate for huntable wolves is. I killed wolves in the grem hunting spot SW of lionhold at night, all night, and not a single huntable wolf spawned. 😂

[@JaceGrimblade]

@@DT-hb3zu From the last updated patch notes they stated 30 minutes was the respawn but I have a feeling that you have to hunt other spawns also to get the others to respawn. I have noticed several spots were they don't respawn in 30 minutes but when I would hunt others animals in the area they would respawn. This is one thing I am going to continue testing pretty heavily to see what changes there are in Phase 2.
