Whats going on with hunting?

Maybe I'm missing something but Hunting seems to be the most difficult gathering skill to level. at least from 0-10. Is that the intention? Finding NPCs that you can hunt is far and few between or heavily farmed. Meanwhile, I run past trees, flowers, and rocks all day. Also, it seems a little strange that you hunt something by going up to it and petting it then maybe it dies or maybe it gets domesticated.

It just doesn't feel well thought out at this point and I'm wondering/hoping there's more development planned for it.

It has been always really annoying to level and has remained forgotten since Phase1. It's also been quite a bottle neck during crafting.

use Ashes Codex and filter which hunting you need, farm the largest spawns on the map. rinse and repeat.
Ashes codex is a life saver for all you ashes needs

- No we shouldn't need a 3rd party app to help us, however welcome to modern MMO's

It's pretty odd, yeah. But it's due an overhaul. They've told us that they'll be re-doing it to make it more intuitive.

Hunting is... well... broken I'd say. Avoid it. Codex is useful if you really wanna do it and not completely waste your time. I love games that require multiple monitors...

You need to hunt alot less Animals to level to 10. 40x+ than cutting down a tree or mining a node. Many places where hunting animals spawn 3-4 With eye sight of each other. 9 that I know of
