"Twist"ed thoughts

So, I went a little "too far" east of Jason Center. My bad. Anyway, as a couple of Atrax were tearing my head off, it gave me a little time to think about some other good hunting places. And what I eventually decided is that it all depends on what you want to gain (or lose -- like my head). Anyway, here's some of my "happy hunting grounds":

South of Fort Pandora: Just into the desert south of this tiny little stop is the huge eastern desert, and the first critters available are all sizes and shapes of saba and bery. Guardians, providers, etc. but if you go too far south, or toward the southwestern area of the desert, the atrax get a little more frisky. and they're everywhere from the desert's edge to just east of the JC mountain pass. (and if anyone finds my head, please return it).

West of Camp Echidna: In the stretch of land north of the unsafe zone (get your shots if you go SW), and west to the river basin there are a bunch of snots (snark to the north, snable to the west), daikiba and little game. the bonus is the hurvyaa (those flying, migratory birds) -- if you want to draw some down, it's a fun challenge. And yes, the unsafe zone looks like a nice place for mining -- get your shot!

Atlas Haven to Atlas Island North: The fun part about this turf is that when snots gather, they form huge, packed herds. It's a good place to practice luring one or two critters away from a pack rather than rushing into the middle swinging away. the peds are ok, but there aren't 20 other people trying to do the same thing. (Look for a tailor named "ShyGirl" -- a promising crafter. Drop my name and she might set you up with a deal).

West of Ft. Troy: In the mood for maffoid? those big fatties stumble around in the dry, dusty delta area between Troy and the dark ravines by the coast. And if your BLP is loaded, keep going to the carved ravines and there are the usual drone/warrior bunch. (at some point i'd like to get a war party together and we could all tag the alien spaceship in there)

Personally, i like the cornys between Phoenix and Zychion, but so many hunting parties run through there that it's easier to take a gentle, easy walk from Phoenix to Billy's to Orthos...Axe in hand!

Well, it's time to go figure out which atrax group hasn't had a bite of me yet. I'll put a Twist on a new topic later. Keep the robot hunting in mind soc!
