Hunt and Prey (Survival 1)

by Cavalorn the Hunter

Every beast or creature that has certain trophies that improve the wealth and glory of experienced hunters. The trained outdoorsman must know all about the trophies of their prey and how to gut them, for else the hunt has been in vain, only half of its bounty - that of experience - having been gathered.

Teeth are the weapons of many beasts and creature living in the wild. If you know how to extract them from your prey, then you can easily acquire hundreds of them, which you could easily craft various baubles from to sell on the market.

A talent true hunters value greatly is that of skinning, for many animals have pelts which you could harvest, such as wolves and Shadowbeasts, for example. The skilled hunter also understands how to skin reptiles such as Worm Sharks and Lurkers as well, as many such creatures roam the kingdom.

The last important art is that of extracting a creature's claws. If you have lived in Vengard, then you no doubt know of their uses - decor, to ward off spirits, to create alchemical potions, to bring luck, and to bolster one's characteristics in times of need. To some, they are also useful to be sold on the marketplace instead of bought, for one might find people will pay a pretty penny for a set of valuable claws or paws.

None of this will be useful if you are not able to find your prey, however. Remember to train yourself in being abe to track a creature, as often times you will come across great situations that you can easily exploit if you just show up at the right place at the right time.

My last piece of advice? Fletch your own arrows. The creatures deserve as much.
