Hi guys,
This is just a note to say I haven't stopped researching this since VU14 came out. I'll be ready to do a big post in about 7-10 days time, hopefully before the next VU at the start of March.
It won't blow anyone's socks off as the results are comparatively guessable, but it will be just about the best post to date to show where (all) skill gains in hunting come from. It will cover attack related gains, defense related gains and gains from healing. And of course, which skill gains are affected by mob level and which not.
From my graphs, other cleverer guys might then be able to create some formulas and even maybe work out the best mobs to hunt - from certain perspectives at least.
I have most of the data, most of the text, and most of the graphs done already. Most of the graphs are straight lines actually, which is nice. I just need to fill in a few gaps now.
Have fun!
Forrest
