My biggest problem hunting is kinda a combo between my armor and my mind. I take more damage then normal cause the armor is dmged, and I am ALWAYS seeming to loose my mind to quickly, even with entainer buffs. I constantly having to drink brandy....which also gets to be expensive.
Try finding some cheap Ahrisa. This is a food so you can stack it with brandy, and a good set of ahrisa can give +400 Focus for 40 mins plus. Eat 3 of these, plus 2 brandys, and you can spam specials all day and take no damage to mind whatsoever (gives you 1800 Mind and 2k+ of Focus, even in Full comp)
If you are having problems with money and dont like getting buffed and dont like being constantly drunk on Brandy (what!!! and you wanna be a Rifleman?? RMs are always drunk! :smileyvery-happy
get some Ubese armor, you can find 75% Kenetic ResistUbese for a resonable price, and can be worn without buffs and doesnt encumber you too much.

Find a nice big solo group and to start do Quenker & Huurton missions (give about 2k xp per kill). Once you've leveled up a bit, try Huurton Huntresses & Savage quenkers. These missions pay out 3-8k each, so you only need 3 of em to pay for any buffs (recommended - makes things alot easier).
As stated before by others, just because you're still learning doesnt mean your guild memebers should just give you some stuff and leave you too it. Im Master DE, Master Artisan & MasterRifleman -Ive got plenty to do (factory runs, stocking vendors, mining, hunting NS Elders etc)but I spent this afternoon on Dant with a friend who was levelling up the Marksman tree.I did'nt mind helping out either, as I like helping mates out. I just stood there while they did quenkersand kept and eye out, offered advice and helped if they got into trouble. Its makes a big difference to have someone there who can help you out with advice & extra firepower. Giving someone a set of armor, a swoop and telling em to get on with it seems a bit selfish IMHO, as one of the reasons of being in a guild is so you DONT have to do it on your own.Someonein a Guildshouldnt have tocome to a Forum to ask questions that guild mates could quite easily answer if they could be bothered to spend the time.
I think you should probably find a Guild thats encourages newbies rather than one thatjustgives em a few bits and then ignores them until they hit Master. They are plenty of Guilds out there that encourage their newer players, having newbie hunting expeditions etc. But in the end its up to you, and once you hit master RM they'll probably start taking you places anyhow..
