'''Hunting''' is both the name of a '''non-combat skill''' and an associated '''activity'''.
Hunting lets a character harvest meat from dead creatures(referred to as '''game meat'''), therefore gaining an additional way to acquire [[food]]. The meat may also be sold to various stores for money, making it a potentially lucrative side activity as well.
= Requirements =
* Sufficient [[LBE|inventory]] space to carry the meat
* Although not strictly a requirement, being properly armed and equipped for combat is strongly recommended, especially to be able to kill larger, tougher creatures with more meat on their bodies.
= Suitable targets Hunting and butchering =
A character meeting equipped with all of the skill and equipment requirements required items is ready to hunt at any time. Hunting, per se, really is no different from [[combat mode|combat]], the only difference is that hunters harvest meat from the dead bodies at the end.
To be able to do so, you need to find a suitable creature. Not all creatures can be turned into meat and not all meat is equal. A creature that can be harvested for meat is referred to as a '''butcherable creature'''. To find out whether the creatures you're facing are butcherable, refer to its wiki page.
Hunters are advised not to inflict too much limb damage on enemy creatures, particularly in the body parts that are harvested for meat, in order to keep their meat worth as high as possible.
=== Meat Game meat ===
The meat obtained is referred to as [[Food#Game meat|game meat]]. It is notable for being a type of food item that can neither be found at random, nor is it sold in any type of shop.
Meat that was freshly harvested from a creature is '''raw''', and although a raw piece of meat can be eaten as-is (it will provide 3d25 [[nutrition|ntri]]), it isn't the most efficient method of eating meat.
Meat is at its most nutritious and valuable when '''cooked'''. Cooked meat provides 5d25 ntri instead of 3d25. There are additional items that a prepared hunter can pack in their inventory to cook meat on the go: the [[Crafting items#Ingredient items|Portable Stove Kit (PSK) and at least one Butane gas canister]]. If you are in possession of a PSK and a non-empty butane gas canister, it costs 1 gas fuel to turn 1 raw meat into 1 cooked meat.
==== Tainted meat ====
If a butcherable creature was killed by [[Effects#Body|cyanide poisoning]], had any quantity of [[Venom]] in its blood upon dyingat death, belongs to a species whose meat is always tainted, or if the corpse is old, rotting, or otherwise unfit for harvesting meat (subject to GM's discretion), all of its meat becomes '''tainted''' and becomes worthless for harvesting; it will have zero nutritional or monetary value. If one insists on eating tainted meat, it will result in suffering from [[Effects#Body|Nausea]] for 20 turns.
==== Illegal meat ==== Some meat is considered to be deeply amoral to possess, and will be referred to as '''illegal'''. If game meat comes from a butcherable human, halfling, or youkai creature was , it is considered illegal and therefore cannot be sold. Attempting to sell illegal meat may have severe and violent consequences, including but not limited to: Angering restaurant owners, shocking bystanders, involving law enforcement/local authorities, etc. [[Effects#Elemental|on fireCreatures]] producing illegal meat:* [[Human]]* Halflings: All of them * Youkai: All of them* Angelics: [[Shrine maiden]]* Demonics: [[Dark maiden]] ==== No meat ==== Certain creatures simply cannot be butchered at all for their meat. [[Creatures]] when it died, assuming that it was do not also tainted (see above)drop meat or cannot be butchered:* Golems: All except [[Flesh golem]]* Mamono: [[Kanedama]], then all [[Shinigami]]* Science experiments: [[Green blob]], [[Yellow blob]], [[Vinebeast]], [[Oozeman]]* Undead: [[Skeleton]], [[Lich]], [[Necromancer]]* Angelics: All except [[shrine maiden]]* Demonics: All except [[dark maiden]] === Selling game meat === Other than being a source of its food, game meat will can be considered sold, turning the activity of hunting into a potentially lucrative one. Game meat can be sold at a delicatessen or any type of restaurant for money. The base value of meat varies depending on whether or not it is raw or cooked. Additional multipliers to meat value apply if the meat has any effects. Base value:* If the meat is raw, base value is [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''already 5.00'''* If the meat is cooked, base value is [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''10.00''' Value multipliers from [[effects]]:* Delicacy: '''2.0x'''* Luxury: '''4.0x'''* Tainted: '''0x'''* Illegal (species is human, halfling, or non-wicked youkai): '''Cannot be sold''' Example: 1 piece of cooked game meat that is considered to be a Delicacy has a value of [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''20''' (base value 10, multiplied by 2).
