What should I be hunting? 11/15/2012 07:52 PM CST

Last time I tried Celps on Ratha was about 25 ranks ago and I still got 1 shot killed while I was incredibly balanced fighting with one and I was even dancing badger. I got multiple weapons over 400 with my primary approaching 500. I'm open to all suggestions. Thanks!

And? Welcome to high level hunting.

That is just how celps are. If you can learn from them, you can die from them. Very quickly. You have plenty for south barricade celps on Kresh, and approaching enough to start moving to north barricade.

You can try head-splitters in Boar Clan if you want something that will not 1 shot as much. After them it's back to the islands though for Dillos.

that's one of the best things about 3.0. This is no longer the case.

I thought head-splitters were last in the progression after Stompers and Maulers? At his ranks I would try stompers first, if he's okay with a critter that's not skinnable.

For whatever reason, in all the years I've been playing and the numerous characters I've taken to 100th circle or higher, celpeze seem to one shot kill more than any other critter I've hunted. Yes, just about everything you hunt over 400 ranks is capable of the one shot, but it seems celps do it much more frequently than the rest. I'm very glad they're fixing this with 3.0.

Not sure off all his defensive skills, but with 500 in weapons learning will be slow in stompers. He could try maulers first, and if everything goes good move up to splitters. I'm survival prime so my evasion is way higher than the rest of my skills, but I moved into splitters with ~500 in weapons and the rest of my defenses, and did just fine. In fact I could of moved sooner, but they have incredible perception, so I had to get my stealths high enough to train there.

>>celpeze seem to one shot kill more than any other critter I've hunted

Part of this may be that celps have a high percentage to roll a good attack (guess), or most likely it's because how quickly they spawn and attack. When you are getting attacked 2-3 times more an hour your chances of a 1-shot happening go way up.
