Why is this not a Diamond ?.

[Robuk]

I have just shot this mythical bear and got 100% on Everything.

Nearly 400 hours in the game and i thought i had my first Diamond kill.

Got so excited as i dropped it on the spot and started jumping up and down in my chair.

Why is this not a Diamond ?.

It's not a level 9. Plus, it probably senses your desperation, and it's a complete turn off. Don't be so over zealous next time. Lol

The chances of getting a diamond animal that is not maximum difficulty is slim to none. People say it can be done but from my experiences from the many many animals taken that fit within the small window of diamond potential i have not had any or heard of anyone getting a diamond from one that was not maximum difficulty, i.e. 3's 5's 9's for their species size category.

And i assume you are using some chart someone published saying brown bears in the 25-29 Trophy rating range are diamonds. Did anyone ever think that fan made chart could be wrong?

I read the thread "mythical /legendary animals" Which left me confused hence posting this here .

For brown bear, it needs trophy rating at least 28 to give Diamond, 29 would guarantee it with 100% bonuses

Yes, that's why my comment in that thread was about the misinformation being spread around.

in order for an animal to be a diamond the final score bust be over 950 out of 1000 i botched one last night so dont feel bad

No, highest trophy rating always belongs to highest difficulty level for particular species. For brown bear, you will never see Level 8 with TR29 - it will be Level 9.

But I've just done the math and you would need 29.2 trophy score to just scrape a diamond rating of 950 score, so this rating range has to be wrong

No, your math is wrong. TR29 is maximum for brown bear

Yes Lightshifty is right about his calculations but quite a few of his assumptions will never pan out in game.

I would like to see any evidence of non maximum difficulty animals getting diamonds. There is as reason why smaller animals will never be of high enough trophy rating to get the score. I have killed many many animals who were maximum weight and trophy rating but were one difficulty away from maximum for their species and were not diamonds nor have I ever seen a screenshot or heard of anyone getting one. And every maximum difficulty animal other than reindeer i have shot have been diamonds or would have been If I would have done my job properly.

Doesn't happen

I've got Black bear level 9 Legendary with all scores at 100%, not diamond. So, don't be discouraged.

you hit it with a .338 and not a .270 is why, i did the same thing on a magestic elk, music played and everthing, and i have music turned off, amazing rack, but used the wrong caliber so only got a gold. bet thats what happened to you.

I don't think that's it, because he got 100% on the integrity bonus.

For brown bear, TR29 gives 500 points, which results in 1000 if all bonuses are 100%

Diamond brown bear with TR28, not even 29, harvest score is 995
