Tell you the truth, I had forgoten Explorer Misson Terms existed. But you're right those things take a while. I loved em when I was a wee Scout.

Never touch them myself.
Call me lazy, but if am running missions off the terms I want to go to where the spawn is, do the business and then move on to the next, not wander about at random looking for another wild spawn of gorgs or whatever for what is, lets face it, a pretty poor pay out.
On the whole, three days and it puffs, great. Should clear up all those blimmin' mission lairs that clutter up the hill by my house

No other ranger has a grievance with this one? I take Hunting missions and because I am a casual player, those missions can take a week to complete (kill 42 female razor cats). Am I the only one?

Well, if you're just wandering around blindly I could understand the frustration. The best way to do hunting missions is to accept the mission and then look for that creature type in the standard mission terminal. That way you have a lair spawned for you that will presumably have the creature type you are looking for. However, these can still take a week for a casual player to complete. For example, in the 42 female razor cat case, the lairs for razor cats would spawn sometimes 2 or 3 females per lair. We'll call it 2 because sometimes the stupid creatures are bugged. As an extreme casual player, I have time to take out, at most, 2 missions per day. That's 4 females a day. That's a little over ten days...so it's a good thing I have the weekend to let me take out a few extra; there's my week. 1 week for hunting missions. A three day mission implosion is a BAD thing in my book.

You should be able to get 9 critters per lair. 3 when the lair spawns, 3 more once you damage the lair by 33% and 3 more once you damage the lair by an addition 33%.

I have not done them in so long. When they first came out I did them for a while, but they just were not worth the time and effort so haven't given them much thought since then. You are probably right.
