Hunter/Gathering

Gathering information for hunter.

General
Hunters gather meat (and sometimes other resources) by fighting monsters while having special weapons equipped. These weapons can either be specialised tools, or versions of ordinary weapons with the right enchantment present. Level in the hunter profession determines what meat might drop from a monster; a low level hunter will not have the skill to carve meat from Kanigers even with the best tools, while a high level hunter will be able to get meat from a variety of sources. Only some species drop meat, and some areas (notably Otomai) are entirely devoid of anything huntable. Hunters get experience only from preserving meat (which Butchers will then use to make edible food) - the process of hunting acquires the materials useful to level their profession but does not directly provide profession XP.

Experience
You only get experience from preserving the meat. See Hunter/Recipes.

Gathering time
You get the meat when the monsters die, just like regular drops.

Amounts
The meat gain is determined just like a regular drop, with the following exception: meat drops are limited to one of each type droppable per monster per hunter, not one per monster. Multiple hunters in the same fight do not interfere with each other's meat drops.

Locations
The meat follows the monsters, so go to wherever the monster you want to hunt hangs out.

Hunting preservatives
Unlike most other professions, hunters can hunt all the items needed for their crafting. However, as the hunting itself doesn't give experience, it is far more commonly purchased from NPCs.
