Blizzard Walker Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Starting a new run post updated reminded me how accustomed I was to benefiting from Level 5 skills on my pre update Voyageur run. Of the various skills: (1) Carcass Harvesting, (2) Cooking, (3) Fire Starting, (4) Ice Fishing, (5) Rifle Fireman, (6) Archery, (7) Mending, (8) Revolver Fireman and (9) Gunsmithing - which do you consider most important/valuable? I view Archery 5 as most important. I miss crouching for easy shots at deer and wolves. It has taken to time to re-learn aiming at deer at a distance or lining up behind a deer for an easy shot. Point blank head shots on deer are preferable to tracking wounded deer. I look forward to getting Archery 5 again as I like to lure in wolves while crouched. If I played on Stalker or Interloper I might have a different point of view - Cooking 5 might then be my #1 skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeanda Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I always get harvesting to level 5 first as I usually only kill moose and bear . But for me I find rifle skills the most important.. it's usually a close second to harvesting in terms of speed. But on pilgrim the skills aren't really necessary. The only one I have issues with is sewing!! My last run on day 5 up at twm summit at level 2 thanks to a book up there ,it took me nine attempts in a row to mend some boots!

mfuegemann Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 For me cooking level 5 is the most important, as it converts wolfs into food. Then comes fire starting, with multiple benefits: fires are more easy to start, last longer and with level 3 I no longer have to carry around 2-3 kg of tinder. The rest comes with its daily use, with mending being the hardest to master. Archery 5 is nice but not so necessary for me. I mostly hunt wolfs, shooting them while they charge me. For deer, I approach them crouched and reposition myself until they face me and stop to lower their head. Then standing up, pulling and relasing should be done in a smooth movement. This will often result in an instant kill. As there still is a risk, that the deer will run off wounded, I love to hunt deer in the Ravine. Just bring some coal for the occasional night blizzard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semple Fi Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 So many specifics that would alter this…. Early or late game? Interloper vs. anything else…. Level 5 archery is at the top, with fire starting and mending a close 2nd/3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hozz1235 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Based upon Voy difficulty, I'd go with Cooking then Archery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
