>>3)Graverobbers not to drop everything when you loot them, I just want their coins and boxes not every type of backpack and dagger they have.

I think that most mobs that grab stuff off the floor are automatically set as LOOT ALL to prevent anyone from inadvertently having their important thing X get picked up by them and then have it vanish into the mists as a result of their backpacks not going away. Scavenger trolls work the same way.

>>Critters between bloodwolves and snoblins

Would giving the snowbeasts their own area resolve this?

As far as I know this is the Aesry Hunting Ladder:

Critter	Range	Skin	Box	Bless?
Bobcat (1)	40 - 80	Yes	No	No
Bl. Wolf (2)	70 - 100	Yes	No	No
Snowie (3)	80 - 140	Yes	No	No
Moss Mey(4)	90 - 120	Yes	Yes	Yes
Crows	100 - 160	Yes	No	No
Snoblins	100 - 200	Yes	Yes	No
Weaver Unyn	110 - 130	Yes	No	No
Latami	130 - 180	Yes	No	No
Oshu	140 - 240	No	No	No
Frosties (5)	150 - 250	No	Yes	No
Ur'H...(6)	175 - 275	Yes	Yes	Yes
Sharks (7)	180 - 280	Yes	No	No
Reaver Unyn	180 - 220	Yes	No	No
Darvas (8)	200 - 250	Yes	Yes	No
Stalker Unyn	260 - 400	Yes	No	No
Ravens	240 - 350	No	No	No
GraveRobbers	250 - 350	No	Yes	No
Wir Dinego	300 - 420	No	Yes	Yes
Greater Raven	350 - 450	No	Yes	No
Snaer (9)	350 - 500	No	No	No

With the following corresponding to the number in the table

1)Spawn is poor and too spread out, need tighter, increased spawn areas, 3 sets of 4-6 rooms.
2) Need a half step in there... maybe a blood wolf and a snow wolf
3) Mixed with either goblins thrash you... or frosties really smash you at snowie level.
4) Not really all that worth hunting, needing blessed, and poor payoff
5) Magic using critters don't teach well enough to make them a great box trainer
6) Weapon stealing, and cursing make ranged unusable and the payoff for the cursing is a bit low
7) Unless your swimming is ungodly, and water combat gets fixed, these are a novelty
8) Magic using so don't train well
9) Completely unhuntable because of the spirit drain (for all but clerics really)

Given all of this, I would:

a) Split bloodwolves into two areas... mix bob and wolves in the first part, mix wolves and snow wolves in the second (or super spawn)
b) Mix snowies and snow wolves above the crevice... then go snowies and super spawn snowies around the cabin. Move frosties.
c) Move frosties and meys into a two part hunting area in the meys spot.
d) Fix magic using critters
e) Fix water combat
f) Make Raven Skinnable
g) Fix Snaer Attack, put Snow Mammoths in there to teach to 600-700 or so.

Honestly, the ladder isn't bad. I've gone from 40th to 90th out here, so I can't complain. But it could be better. I think a box popper would have a rough time because some of the box droppers are a pain.

Anyway, just my thoughts.

>>the ladder isn't bad

You're right, the ladder is excellent, until you get to the top. When you keep in mind that Dinegos only spawn at night, graverobbers have crappy daytime spawning, greater ravens are pains to melee, and hafwa spirit attacks are deal breakers for hunting them, you can see that you're forced off Aesry to learn well before the absolute top of it. And I hate having to go elsewhere.

>Seems a lot more accurate than some of the info on Elanthepedia too (im not complaining guys coz you do a great job there).

Feel free to update it then. It IS a wiki for a reason. :P
