Do mob types affect skill increase?

My Rifle skill is around 500 and Laser Weapon Tech around 600. My question is, if I want to raise these, will hunting Berycleds (which are hard for me to kill), raise my skills faster than hunting Snabblesnots (which are easier to kill)?

I would like to get my skills over 1k without going through tons of PEDs. My idea was to take a plain Sollmate Opallo and hunt lower level creatures for skills without burning through tons of gear like I do when hunting higher level creatures.

I guess it boils down to whether you gain about the same skills using low gear on easy prey vs high gear on hard prey in a similar time frame.

well, you can take the somewhat painfull, but cheaper way. thats snables/bery with opalo. slow, economical.

you can do the fast way, with big weap, big fap, armor. big(ger) creatures.
fast, costly

your choice :slight_smile: you will eventually get there, one way it will take time, other way it will take ped

Actually, skill gains are VEEERY dependant on a mob type. Interesting that i still gain alot of skills having >10k in rifle while hunting big berycleds. But bigger mob not always equals higher skillgain. I have nice skill gaining while hunting mobs which take 1-3 ped to kill, such as bots, atrax, small atrox and poor skill gains on mobs which take 5-10 and more ped to kill. Also its much cheaper to hunt small mobs ;).
