Thread: Best creatures to kill for meat?
My faves are the Pikets on Dantooine and the Fambaa or Bolle Bols on Naboo. Big and slow, they don't do much damage to a TKM. No nasty poison or deathblow, and both those places are not too bad to hunt, as far as other dangerous stuff in the area. They also go down fairly fast, and drop a lot of meat. Mission payout is not bad either, and anyone can get the Piket missions.
A tip for getting Fambaa missions: you need 5 in your group to get them. That includes pets and droids, so bring out whatever you can to make 5 if you want those. Hope this helps!
The Dungeon Beasties are always Skinny and drop minimum meat. Which is a shame, but understandable to stop farming good spawns of meat.
For wild animals, it all depends on the Meat Shift. Each Shift lasts from 3 to 14 days. Same for any resource. When the resource is going to shift (in the next 24 - 36 hours) then you'll receive the dreaded 'Animal was Skinny' messages. It means the meat is coming to the end of it's cycle and is about to shift within the next day or so (if that much).
So if you're getting that message, you need to be prepped to start hunting something else.
