Is there any chance that you guys could make it possible to find out how many rare animals a user has harvested through his/her time playing thehunter? I never counted in the beginning of my time playing and because of that it's impossible for me to know how many i have. Judging by what you guys have done on the site before, i assume it's possible?

Unfortunately there's no API function to obtain that information. The only way would be to make an API call for every single animal a user ever harvested. For my account (someone who is not a hardcore player) that would be 12,315 API calls, and almost 4 hours of non-stop SQL queries. Expansive Worlds could obtain the information for a user with a single query but for UHC to be able to offer this, a new API function would have to be written.

Okay. As always thanks for your reply David, appreciate it.

My thoughts on some UHC missions :

Pack #1 and #2 are done for me .

I'm stuck on that #4 mission / Pack #3 ...

Spoiler:

Getting a Turkey / airborne / at 60m + / .22 unscoped weapon, is already difficult imo, that we need a 60+ scoring Tom also. This , we need to do 3 times .
I will be 60 years old and that mission will be to do still. If it was made for any scoring Tom, it would be a little bit more pleasant and doable and the challenge of shooting would still be there . Maybe subtract the need to have this done 3 times also. 1-2 is good imo.

I am one of the worst bird hunters in this game, and I managed to get past this one. If you are trying to use a Turkey setup that you already have on a map, take a good look at it and move things around to accommodate making the objectives a little easier on yourself. That was part my strategy and it worked.

The mission #2 / Pack #4 ...

Spoiler:

...is even worst in terms of needing chance / luck . You need 2 Golden Chanterelle + a Rocky mountain Elk of 375 + score . How often do you see big Elks ?
I don't and add to that , 2 shrooms ! So,what if you can find the Elk, but,after a while you can't find the shrooms , what happens now ? Rinse and repeat ? What if you find 1-2 shrooms and can't get your hands on that big Elk ! I need to try again ! And you know that these missions require time to invest .

I would like to see, in the future, more missions based on hunting skills / experience / strategies than based mostly on pure luck .
My skills in this game , surpass ,by far, my luck in real life and in this game . Maybe its why i don't complete these missions .
I would like to use them, in completing missions .

Luck in this game, as we all know, plays a huge part. Having all the best skills in the game won't do you a bit of good unless you get lucky. Use your high level of experience to help you come up with a strategy that can get you past this one as well. Chanterelles are all over the place. Sometimes I can't walk 200 meters without running into one or two. I find them all the time. Try walking around with your Huntermate in your hand instead of a weapon. You'll be surprised how many Chanterelles are out there that you may walk right over without ever knowing it if you don't have your Huntermate in your hand. Anyways, use your head and keep at it DYEUZ. I know you'll find a way to get past this one eventually.

Nockedup ... I do use the Huntermate and my head . I probably don't have the luck that some do , that's all.

I rarely walk with a weapon in my hand .I'll try again for sure . Thx for the reply .

Serge, you probably already know this, but you will often find golden chanterelles near water. Once you got your turkey, run around middle lake (if that mission can be done on WHI) and along the coast and you'll have a bigger chance of finding the right shrooms!

[DYEUZ]

Marc ... That would be cool , lots of them in WHI . But its at TgT and i need a 375+ Elk also with the 2 Golden Chanterelle .

Sorry, I mixed it up with the turkey mission you also talked about in your post. Well, it should be the same on TgT - run along rivers and lakes. But of course the high grass doesn't make it easier.

[DYEUZ]

...Yes, the Turkey one , is a tough one also . Doing it once will result in some extra super hero power for me , imagine , i need it 3 times .
Its all good though , i'll do them eventually , i hope , one day , before i die .
