With more hunts planned a growing interest in making hunts I wrote this as a how to construct a post for a hunt, not how to make a hunt. It easy to make a post and to forget something in it, just use this as a checklist so you don't forget something important. This is a basic template that will answer all of the important questions about your hunt for your hunters. Maybe we can get a sticky for it
Name of Hunt
Mob and Maturities to be hunted
Date time and duration of Hunt
Location of Hunt
Weapons used in Hunt
Use of amps,enhancers, scopes, sights, rings (allowed or disallowed)
Description of the hunt
Name: You want something catchy and fun. The best names are descriptive of what the hunt will be. You do not want to be misleading with the Name. ie... “End of year Newbie hunt” would not be a good time to go and hunt Osseocollum Entropedia: Creature: Osseocollum.
Mob and Maturities: This simply answers all the questions of what are you hunting?, The higher or lower mobs? It should avoid the questions of can we hunt XYZ mobs.
Date time and duration of hunt: 3 of the most common questions you will get. It is better to answer them up front on the first post, than during the next 2 weeks till your hunt starts.
Location of hunt: The first thing a player will want to know is what planet, so they can decide if they will be on that planet that day. Again, better to answer up front rather then all day for next 2 weeks.
Weapons used in Hunt: You want to define this as short and concisely as you can. Ex TT hunt, Opallo hunt, 15-25DPS, Open hunt bring what you can afford . . . The better you define it the less questions you will get about it.
Use of amps...: When you focus a hunt for newbies it is very important to keep all players even, so no unfair advantages. Your average just started player will not have an Omegatron A101, at todays price of 180-220 ped apiece. So No amps, enhancers, scopes, sights, or rings. The advantage of faster reload from a ring is a clear advantage to more DPS and therefor larger share of loot. As levels go up this can be considered less important depending on the balance you want in your hunt. Many level 50 hunters have rings and would like to use them.
Description of Hunt: The general description that you always find. It is better to have the above items clearly defined, even if they are repeated here. A clean easy to read date, time and location will make a better post.
