Stoneshard – Guide to Hunting and Cooking

This guide explains hunting and cooking in detail.

How to Hunts and Cooks

While hunting is not the main focus of the game it’s something you can do to gather meat and some coin. It’s best done with a ranged weapon but melee hunting is also possible.

Hunting

Good hunting spots are in thick forest areas. To approach animals, stay out of their sight by using trees and rocks as cover while closing the distance. This lets you attack multiple times while they try to escape.

If you don’t have a bow, you can use the Axe’s Mutilating Lunge skill to quickly reach fleeing animals while damaging them.

An easy hunting method is to lead animals to the edge or corner of the map chunk. Animals that are running away from you can’t leave the sector (in the current game version), making it easier to catch and defeat them.

You can also use the Shout technique: hide behind a tree and shout 3 times by right-clicking on yourself and selecting “shout.” This works like a hunting call and alerts nearby creatures.

Items

• Venison meat: In the current version both Deer and Moose drop venison meat -30% raw, can cause poisoning or vomiting when raw. When cooked goes up only to -40% Hunger but adds -15% Hunger resistance, a very useful stat that slows hunger down.

•  Deer Hide: takes 6 tiles (2×3) in the inventory, sells for 50 coins.

•  Deer Antlers: takes 2 tiles in the inventory, sells for 50 coins.

Cooking

Cooking is extremely simple, you just need to find a fire or a place that can host one, right click on it and select cook. This will cook one item in your inventory, open the inventory and select it multiple time to cook all your meat.
