This was brought up in Discord, so I figure I'd ask who ever still lurks on the forum, but where are your favorite hunting spots on the island for animals?
I enjoy the mountain areas. Lots of fierce beasties and you gain quick XP between the killing and the healing.

I tend to stay close to rivers- refilling bottles is more satisfying than searching healing huts. My favorite spot away from water is the far N.E. grasslands- rhinos and silverbacks, plus turtles off the coast.

The Rat Caves four(?) floors below West Mountain Path, no question. It's like playing Dynasty Warriors. I do like the areas north of Derby and south of Shipwreck, though. They've got good spawns of a great mix of mobs which're sorely-needed when you're just starting-out in those cities, and you really notice the imbalance in local spawnrates compared to the shoddy experience of trying to level a brand-new character in Durham and to a lesser-extent Dalpok.
I also like the basin at the bottom of the Mt. Shartak Waterfall. That seems to be where the strong jungle mobs (plus alligators) are spawned to congregate. There's no true high-level areas in Shartak of course, but the areas by Mt. Shartak do provide the feeling you're going somewhere more dangerous, which is quite fitting given that Sacred Space is probably one of the first real treks for a character finding their feet.

Tarak's Spit was always one of my favorites. 😁

Sacred Space, lol, songbirds. There used to be caves there too I thought. I had a bad me down there running game for awhile.
-
The songbirds have not inhabited the sacred space for a long time now.
-
Evidently neither have I.
-
Where have the songbirds gone, indeed?

:icon_offmylawn: They followed MTV's lead, stopped doing music, started doing more talk, and became parrots.
