Community:Kaeto/Hunter's Life V4

Hunter's Life is an MMO game created by the user kaeto that has accumulated over four million place visits. It is the fourth installment of Kateo's Hunter's Life series.

Setting
The game is set 200 years after the start of a war between Elves and Humans. Humans believed the Drow, who were enslaved by the Elves, deserved to be freed. After winning the war and freeing the Drow, the kingdom of Morningwood was established to ensure peace between all species.

Story/Questing
Hunter's Life V4 adds a new feature to the series: Quests.

The game starts out in the Morningwood City Embassy, the first spawn point in the game. After speaking with the Morningwood Emissary, he directs the hero to speak to the king of Morningwood, King Jaysmith. His highness informs the adventurer that his son, Prince Kenneth has been missing for quite a while, and needs his help to find him. The adventurer from then on reports to the king's son, Prince Ryleth, who is heading the search for his missing brother.

Map


Hunter's Life is set in the land of Valtharrow, a geographically diverse region covered in varied flora and fauna.

Morningwood is the very first city seen. There are stone walls surrounding the city, and three entrances. Guards in the city wear iron plate armor. This city has the smallest houses, as it is closely knit together. The threat level in this city is relatively low, due to only a few bandit camps being found outside. However, the blue dragon of Angel Harbor will occasionally fly to Morning wood and attack. The King's palace rests on the north end of the town, opposite the stables.

Eroth Payesh is the Elf capital of Valtharrow. With giant trees and thick greenery, it is easy to get lost the forest of the surrounding plane. The forest is also home to Tiglions, one of the deadliest predators in the world. Eroth Payesh features walls made of shaved trees, treehouses, Elven guards, and all of the amenities that Morningwood carries.

Pinewright is the Drow capital of Valtharrow, carrying most of the game's Drow population. This is a more deadly part of the game, as the surrounding mesa is home to a deadly drow gang, the Ropesh warriors. Dragon attacks here are rare, but the threat of gang violence remains.

Dragonstone rests on the bank of Lake Dragonstone, a popular fishing spot. There's not much to say about this little village, other than it's vulnerability to bandits in the surrounding area.

All other areas are currently unfinished or lack any really important information.

Weaponry
Hunter's Life V4 features three different types of weapons, a sword and shield combination, a bow, and a spear. Each weapon has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Each weapon demands a different play style, however once a weapon is decided on, the player can choose to change weapons whenever they like.

Hunting
Hunting is an essential part of the game. Food is needed to keep a family alive, as a family who goes without food for more than five in-game days dies. Most animals, like the deer, do not attack when they are threatened. Rather, the animals will usually run away. However, if a bear, a wolf, or a tiglion is threatened, they will respond with an attack. In order to keep safe while hunting these dangerous animals, it is advised to sneak by holding the C key. The amount of time one sneaks can be modified by the "agility" stat.

Fishing
Another form of hunting, one could say, is fishing. In order to fish, one must find a fishing spot. A couple examples are the fishing spots in Angel Harbor and Dragonstone. To begin fishing, the player must have fishing nets which can be bought from the merchant at a 5-5 rate. To start, place your cursor over the dock pole and click. This will set a net. Once the net is ready, it is only a matter of time before a fish swims into it. Anywhere from 1-3 fish can be caught in a net at a time. Once a fish has appeared on the net, click touch the pole to harvest the fish. These fish can be sold at any meat trader from the towns of Eroth Payesh, Morningwood, or Pinewright. As of right now, there is no meat trader in Dragonstone, which is the only down side to fishing there.

Horses
There are currently 5 different horses in Hunter's Life V4. The first one given is a free brown horse. This horse can be used by any level but is the cheapest and slowest horse in the game. Here is an informative chart detailing horse levels.

Bosses
As of right now, only a few bosses exist in the game. Each vary in difficulty and fight style.

Blue Dragons
The easiest of all dragons. This dragon is capable of breathing fire, biting, and stomping on enemies. It has 580 health points. Fighting this boss is relatively simple. The dragon will first launch a shot of fire at the player, instantly doing 30+ points of damage on impact if not dodged. Once the dragon has missed, the player can start attacking the dragon, whether by ranged or melee attacks. However, the dragon will then fly upward and nosedive into the ground. Any player found in the blast radius (a red square) will be dealt 50+ points of damage. Once the dragon is done resting from this, it will attempt to breath fire once more and the cycle will continue. Once the dragon is defeated it will drop a rare piece of armor (rarity dependent on where the dragon was found in the world)

Green Dragons
Green dragons fight the same as blue dragons. The difference in Green dragons is their health is augmented from 580 health points to 1480, taking nearly three times longer to kill. This boss also deals twice the damage of the blue dragon. Caution is advised when fighting this dragon at any level lower than 20.

Drew the Defecator
Charged with defecating on the floor of the temple of Zahi, Drew is an outlaw of the church. The player is sent to find him and kill him under the order of the priest of Zahi. Drew is usually accompanied by 2 or more bandits, but can be found alone. He is level 15 and deals 7 damage points per hit.

Travis the Heartbreaker
This boss is part of a marriage quest given to the player by a potential spouse. The spouse explains that Travis killed his/her brother in cold blood, and ran off to join bandits east of Morningwood. Travis is only level 3, but deals 3 points of damage a hit. This is a fairly simple run for a low-level player, but Travis is almost always accompanied by 1-3 bandits.

Food
Food is the most important aspect of keeping a family. In order to ensure a family does not die, the player must feed them every five days. If the family is not fed in that period of time, they will die. Likewise, if a potential mother is not well-fed and kept happy, the player can not mate and make a child. Here is a chart explaining food integers.
