I was wondering which tends to be the most cost efficient form of hunting, melee or ranged?
With melee you don’t have to buy ammo but you’ll likely be repairing your armor and weapon more frequently plus you’ll likely be taking more damage and have to buy FAP’s or wait longer between battles. Does this generally end up costing more or less than using a ranged weapon? Which type of weapon is more damage efficient?
I’m also looking for opinions about which is better later on in the game when skills are developed more.
Well, to be honest, ranged weapons allow damage to be done while decay is not taken to armor/faps, etc. But when the mob is near, many melee weapons tend to have slightly better economy (I personally believe it’s to compensate for the greater cost on armor), so I would say that you could, depending on what you’re hunting, use both. That’s why many people have both skills. Plus, melee, although it decays your things more, gives better support skills, such as evade, combat reflexes, etc. It’s a decision to be made by the user :wise: GL
