PART 1: GUIDE
This guide focuses on how you can achieve a 100k hunting score, not a general explore/FMC guide.
I. Preparation
1. Premium is recommended
2. Stock up on blue jays, healing potions and health potions
3. Before FMC, reset all terrain levels to preferred enemy counts
4. A good amount of mush. I'd recommend at least 4k mush, to be safe.
5. Choose a month in which you are completely free for the five days.
6. All terrain levels should be two digits, at the very least.
II. Explore
Suggested Terrain Ranking
Forest(70+ enemies) >>>> Jungle/Tundra/Forest(55+ enemies) > Mountain/Desert > Swamp
During Winter:
Jungle >>>> Tundra/Mountain > everything else
Terrain Breakdown:
Forest
Beginner friendly, but low enemy counts prove a problem.
Pros:
1. Low flee rates
2. Much higher individual enemy count
3. Enemies don't hit as hard
4. Robin feathers
Cons:
1. Abysmal enemy counts; anything below 55 isn't worth it
Swamp
Extremely dangerous but blue jays
Pros:
1. Blue Jays
2. High individual enemy mush
Cons:
1. The highest flee rate out of all terrains
2. Enemies hit the hardest out of all terrains
3. Honestly pretty terrible for mush grinding
Jungle
Highest mush profit and lots of enemies. Not too dangerous either.
Pros:
1. Highest average high enemy and prey count
2. Enemies don't hit too hard
3. Sun bears are one of the easier bears
Cons:
1. Mid-weight prey have high percentile flee rate
2. Individual enemy count is not that high
Desert
Mediocre. The most basic out of the terrains.
Pros:
1. Enemies don't flee too often
2. Average damage/health, don't flee too much.
Cons:
1. 2nd lowest average enemy counts
2. Kinda boring tbh
Mountain
Good mush profit but dangerous
Pros:
1. Above average individual enemy mush
2. Usually high enemy counts
3. Many action tiles
Cons:
1. Black bears
2. Most enemies hit hard.
Tundra
Good profit, not dangerous apart from grizzlies
Pros:
1. Polar bears are by far the easiest 25 mush
2. 2nd highest average enemy count
3. Snowy Owl feathers are abundant
Cons:
1. Polar bears have a very high flee rate
2. Grizzlies, and they tend to appear in large packs
Reset Enemy Count:
Cloaks: <55 for forest, <70 for everything else
Ravus: <45 for forest, <50 for everything else
Explore Tips:
1. Keep track of when the cooldown ends for level resets
2. Use Snowy Owl feathers for packs of bears(though they are usually useless)
III. Miscellaneous
1. It's good to have friends. Just in general but also to steal buy cheap potions and blue jays from.
This is all you need. The second and third part aren't really important.
