📋 About This Mod
A mod which aims to make hunting a much more profitable, viable and worthwhile experience. The prices of animal parts, and the amount of items each animal drops, have been significantly altered to provide a much more realistic experience. Pelt Price Changes: The prices for pelts were pretty unrealistic. Pelts and furs in real life are quite valuable, and this wasn\'t reflected in the game. These new prices give an incentive to hunt, and make hunting actually worth doing. Bear Pelt: 50 -> 500 Cave Bear Pelt: 60 -> 600 Cow Hide: 10 -> 200 Deer Hide: 10 -> 150 Fox Pelt: 5 -> 75 Goat Hide: 5 -> 50 Horse Hide: 15 -> 150 Ice Wolf Pelt: 15 -> 150 Sabre Cat Pelt: 25 -> 250 Snow Bear Pelt: 75 -> 750 Snow Fox Pelt: 7 -> 130 Snowy Sabre Cat Pelt: 40 -> 400 Werewolf Pelt: 20 -> 2000 Wolf Pelt: 10 -> 100 Animal Part Price Changes: Again, these were unrealistically low. Although the price changes aren\'t as drastic as the pelt changes, these alterations will increase your hunting experience. Antlers - Large: 2 -> 40 Antlers - Small: 2 -> 30 Bear Claws: 2 -> 5 Horker Tusk: 15 -> 150 Mammoth Tusk: 150 -> 1500 Mudcrab Chitin: 2 -> 10 Sabre Cat Tooth: 2 -> 15 Slagutherfish Egg: 3 -> 7 Slaughterfish Scales: 3 -> 5 Troll Fat: 15 -> 30 (Weight changed from 1 to 0. 5) Dragon Bones: 500 -> 1500 (Weight dropped) NEW Dragon Scales: 250 -> 750 (Weight dropped) NEW Animal Meat Price Changes: Clam Meat: 1 -> 3 Chicken Breast: 3 -> 4 Grilled Chicken Breast: 4 -> 6 Charred Skeever Meat: 4 -> 3 Dog Meat: 3 -> 4 Leg of Goat: 3 -> 14 Leg of Goat Roast: 4 -> 20 Horker Meat: 3 -> 12 Horker Loaf: 4 -> 16 Horse Meat: 3 -> 8 Horse Haunch: 4 -> 12 Mammoth Snout: 6 -> 30 Mammoth Steak: 8 -> 40 Pheasant Breast: 3 -> 3 Pheasant Roast: 4 -> 5 Raw Beef: 4 -> 8 Cooked Beef: 5-> 12 Raw Rabbit: Leg 2 -> 6 Rabbit Haunch: 3 -> 8 Salmon Meat: 3 -> 4 Salmon Steak: 4 -> 6 Venison: 4 -> 16 Venison Chop: 5 -> 20 Animal Drop Changes: Most of the animal drops in the game just didn\\\\\\\'t make any sense at all. For example, for every Sabre Cat you kill you would get either 1 eye or 1 tooth, even though every cat has two of each. These changes are to correct such errors. These are the new additional drops: 3 Tusks from every Horker 2 Eyes and 2 Teeth from every Sabre Cat and Snowy Sabre Cat 1-4 Sets of Bear claws from all types of Bear 4 Tusks from each Mammoth 1-3 Cups of Troll Fat from all types of Troll 1-5 Sets of Scales from Slaughterfish 7-10 Toes from each Giant (Weight reduced from 1 to 0. 5) 5-10 Feathers from each Hagraven 10-14 Claws from each Hagraven 6-10 Feathers from each Hawk Meat: 5 - 8 Pieces of Horker Meat from every Horker 3 - 4 Pieces of beef from every cow 3 - 4 Goat Legs from each Goat 3 - 4 Pieces of venison from every Deer and El
