Gaining THIO!: Hunting Dangerous Prey in Wolfstack Docks

Option	Difficulty	Success	Failure
Speak with other hunters	86 Dangerous	+2 THIO! (Rare: +3)	+2 Wounds
Observe your prey	88 Dangerous	+2 THIO!	+1 Wounds
Prepare your equipment	90 Dangerous	+2 THIO!	-1 THIO! +1 Wounds
Prepare the ground	92 Dangerous	+3 THIO!	+2 Wounds
Stalk your prey subtly	94 Dangerous	+3 THIO! +1 Subtle (up to 5) -1 Forceful	+1 Wounds
Go for the throat!	96 Dangerous	+3 THIO! -1 Subtle +1 Forceful (up to 5)	-1 THIO! +1 Wounds

Two of the options given for gaining THiO! significantly outperform the rest, while one is downright awful. In general, Stalk your prey subtly in addition to Prepare the Ground when Stalking is not available, is the most efficient way to generate THiO!. If neither of these options are available, those below 88 Dangerous should Speak with other hunters, while those with a higher Dangerous should Go for the throat!. At 88 Dangerous, this should generate an average 1.32 THiO! per Action.

Possible locations to cash in your collected The Hunt is On! are Wolfstack Docks (WD), Watchmaker's Hill (WH), Spite (S), The Flit (F) and Veilgarden (V). About the requirement/challenge column, explained with the first line in the table: You need The Hunt is On! 5 to unlock this option and with that have a 30% chance to succeed in the The Hunt is On! 8 challenge. To certainly succeed (at 100%) you need to have The Hunt is On! 12.

Suggested THiO! assumes 1.32 cp/action and that menaces can be cleared at 3 cp/action. Expected actions/success is likely a bit higher than these estimates, due to rounding.
