Hares Mistlands

[Dinoworld112]

whats best way to kill rabbits with out actively going after them with a bow and hunting I was thinking make traps and throw a carrot on them as bait

[Frank Dunn]

I don't know if they are drawn to carrots, they should be, but yes, the spikes are a great way to passively kill the hares. You could probably put a portal by a dverger base and come back from time to time to collect materials.

I like to walk the boundaries between Mistlands and Plains, and make the hares flee across the border. The Skeeters then do the hunting for me.

yup, this is what I do.

When I walk mistlands as mage it's extremely easy to farm hares by use of the firestaff.

walking on border of plains mistland like they said. deathskitos kill many.

Dvergr spikes usually have them.

passively : just wodden spikes. or let mosquitos do it for ya.

actively : the staff of wabbitslaying errr i mean embers. no contest on that one. stupid to take out entire packs of them.

[XAsaultr1013]

honestly, using the fire staff is best, IMO.

I've found that daggers and atgeir work well. If you use daggers, you likely have it out, and they run by you all the time, so just hit them with the dagger. Done!

Atgeir has windup time, but there are rabbit about, just spinning it a few times will likely do the job.

That said, even for me, who pretty much only eats health foods, misthare is nice to have, but there are enough other recipes that don't require them that I never do anything to actively go after them.

the bear traps are terrible, and I mean in general. terrible at everything. aesthetics if you put them up against the house.
for killing rabbits just put spikes around their spawns. you can get fancy and create bottle necks in terrain to be more efficient about it, maybe. I actually dug down to the bottom of one of the glowing roots and got my chickens spawning down there and rabbits spawn down there with them. Kind'a funny.

Fire staff + ballistas set up around their spawn areas

I just slapped down a couple half-walls with a few breaks on it near my Mistland farm and lined those breaks with wood spikes.
Since mobs don't attack walls when not aggroed they just try to path through the openings and murder themselves on the spikes.

Every time i go to replant and check them after i find about a dozen hare meat & scale hides who've killed themselves in the meantime. You have to repair the spikes occassionally but it's not exactly a huge time investment to either build or maintain.

Otherwise any base bordering a Mistland biome should have plenty unless you've spawnproofed the entire area.
Even greydwarfes one shot them with their rock throws, so a black forest or swamp generally works quite nicely. Plains do too of course but i find the other two have a higher density of enemy spawns, which leads to more kills in my experience.

I just arrived in the mistlands last week and had no idea how I could consistently hunt hares. But recently I have found ooze bombs to be quite useful.

Same. They're fast though. Ever see a Fuling chasing after them? That's funny.

no one mentionned crossbow . Its the only ranged weapon without projectile delay, also best accuracy . I use it for everything in plain and mistland
