== Hunting tips ==
* Don't mess with trolls unless you're looking for a real fight.
* Beware of the gank bonus creatures receive when they gang up on you.
* Scorpions are horrible for fighting skill gain.
* It appears that only scorpions and crocodiles will spawn on desert tiles.
* The 'refresh' ability gained from the path of love refills your stamina, thirst and hunger. It is great for emergencies.
* Consider bringing a cart and spare horse with you while hunting. The extra cart is good to carrying supplies.
* Riding a cart or boat into a fight appears to make it more difficult to target specific body parts and possibly reduces your combat rating.
* Local areas populated with animals will take up the animal cap in the area and are therefore not ideal places to hunt.
