Should I get the Naturalist Role?

[Daddy Gibby]

Heard lots of terrible things about it, but at the same times its the only role I haven't tried out yet. Since there are really good double money deals going on this week, I was thinking of grinding it out while I let my Trader and Moonshiner stuff generate product. Is that a good idea?

Its a okey idear if you like hunting, The naturalist role is very good to combine with trader, legendary animals will be a good addition to fill trader goods.

You got some crazy vegan lady that will spray drugs on you. She will always mad on you.

Hold off unless you have the trader role, The only benefit from her is getting legendary bait for hunting for the trader role and fashion from Gus. Other than that it is worthless.

Out of all the roles I saved naturalist for last. It's definitely an interesting way to play the game but not for everyone. You can make pretty good money with it and the perks for ranking up are pretty good as well.

I did the same thing, the role is good to gain extra gold for daily goals with not wasting much time, extra money like others said, if you spend all day only taking animal samples, you can earn more than 1000 if you keep grinding it , just about half of the list of legendary's are not accessible if you don't have the role, the pro's of having it out weight the bad, you make all the gold back in a few months or month, or weeks if your good. if you get the role when its discounted, I like hunting the animals for the garment sets other than that the extra gold is a plus when you got a daily streak going. hunting the legendary animals for pelts are waste of time for camp, when you can get 5, 3 star deer or buck in less than 5mins, with hunting wagon on a clear good day in the heartlands with your camp near the pond by emerald station having your moonshine shack near there is even better, less time being wasted. if you kill animals she will be mad at you there's like a 5-10min cool down until you can talk to her and do missions or buy stuff, some times if you killed an animal and talk to her and chose missions, sometimes she won't spray you, wish they would fix the bug, sometimes if you dont kill animals she will still spray you, even after a fresh log in. the fast travel camp saves so much time after you buy the make shift camp from her.

You’ll barely make any money or gold with it if that’s what you want. The rewards are great though. You’ll get upgrades for your kit and tonics satchel. Blending tonics act like the cover scent lotion in single player. You’ll also get the ability to set up a wilderness camp where you can fast travel, rest, craft and cook. I think it was worth it for the wilderness camp fast travel alone. It's always only $1 to fast travel to your Trader camp.

yeah its kinda grindy ;(

naturalist camp + fast travel pamp is basically teleport. That alone is worth the role. The legendary animals stuff is just the fringe benefits.

I enjoy the naturalist role but Harriet can be a little annoying at times. I sort of wish they would introduce more content around Gus as he currently isn't much more than a merchant.
