    The only question now is: where's the best place to get my squirrel on?

    Well, killed some squirrels and got 2 and 4 pecan nuts. So I need 6k squirrels every month :D bring them on!
    Hoping the new scenes provide thousands of them.

    to make gather these resources a bit easier, we need to add a roving scurries of zombie squirrels to some scene.

    I actually think that removing pecans from NPCs was a really bad change, but what do I know.

    as long as the daily drop rate at least matches the old daily purchase rate, it should balance out

    So there goes cooking Buff Food as a business.....
    I can not imagine farming thousands of squirrels to fulfill my monthly need. Even if i get more components or higher drop rate from squirrels; still thousands needed

    It would be ok if i could get Pecan Nuts via Agriculture. But this is ridiculous

    I didn't even know you could buy them from vendors. But I don't use a lot of them.

    You don't use obsidian wolf chops and grilled wyvern chops? Both of those recipes require cooking oil.

    Just did a quick loop of Kas Ruins clearing the squirrels there:

    [29/07/2021 21:25:56] D'Laein Lachlan attacks Squirrel and hits, dealing 43 points of damage from Bow.

    Interesting, the recipe now takes three empty jars and five pecan nuts and yields three jars of cooking oil.

    Don't know what to say. But found 100 more useful things to do than hunt squirrels. Still counting ...

    I do. But I play about 5-8 hours a week, so typically I get enough by just chopping down trees.

    And now try to imagine what this change means for a food merchant (per month):
    17k pecan nuts
    6k rabbits
    and so on
    Would you go and spend your time (additionally to the time you spend for cooking ingredients and the actual cooking) in hunting things you can not really hunt in bigger quantities?
    Well ... this would mean to increase the prices (having only a small quantity of players who are buying food actually even if the prices are as cheap as they have never been before).
    Nobody accepts paying for the time to produce. And time to produce should (but does not) include the time to hunt!

    But well, maybe you all should produce everything for yourself and then we talk in some months whether we need markets.

    I wasn't arguing for or against anything. I mentioned I didn't use a lot of pecans, Barugon asked how that was possible, I clarified. That is all.
