A good time to start hunting?

[Guest]

I have my shiney new character up and running, I bought a needle and a bag of thread, racked up my harvest skill and did one or two quests. Now, I want to boost my manufacture (and combat) skills by goring some rabbits. But various people have said bunnies are feral savages without correct preparation. How should I best prepare for combat? Get an iron sword? Do a few more quests? I really don't want to die needlessly.

Make sure your health is at max.

 

Have someone you trust stand guard, ready to pickup anything you lose, so he can give it back to you, if you should die.

 

Check your health afterwards, it's probably pretty low. Don't expect to be able to kill two rabbits in a row.

 

Weapons should not be necessary - I still have no weapon, and I kill wolves. Killing rabbits is actually easier now than it was when I started, because people start with level 2 or 3 attack, and not 0 anymor.

 

If you really have trouble, go visit Bakart, he can help you get your max health up, but it will cost you. (Someone correct me, if I mixed up the NPCs).

another tip is to drink a potion of body restoration just before you attack a bunny. This will increase you health to over your normal max. Like Leeloo said, a weapon isn't really needed, but if you can afford one, you could try it ofcourse

Why drink it before?

Why dont drink just when (and if) necessary, during the fight? :-)

Potions can be used while you are fighting...

Because it only takes one bite to kill you?

I still think it's hilarious that a bunny can kill somebody. Kinda Monty Python-ish...but que sera, sera.

Dont use a pickaxe...

Guys, those thigns changed long time ago

Now you can kill like 4 rabbits just in the beginning, no problems. Also, until you are lev 5 combat, you don't lose your items.
