Is it worth to alternate hunts between exp and profit ?

Question

I hunt where I can get a good profit but the experience isn't so good, so I'm thinking in alternate my daily hunts between this where I get good profit but not so good exp and one hunt where I get good exp but not so good profit. Should I do this or focus only in where I hunt now ?

PS: I play only with my stamina bonus (2 hours/day)

I'm EK 270, actually I want to buy some items, but I don't hurry, just want to have fun playing

Answer 1

In my opinion, an Elder Druid Level 564 whom is okay with money I tend to think changing your habits or spawns is key to not getting bored of hunting. We all have a favorite hunting place, we all have our own preferences, and we all eventually get bored of being creatures of habits. I for example hunted Glooth Bandits for profit for months. I love Glooth Bandits, but I eventually realized there's other spawns I could try or alternative in between. So I decided to go to Banuta -4 (profit and slight xp increase), then I did Oramond Raids (less profit, more exp), Oramond West (less profit, more exp) then I realized I could start doing the Bestiary (no gain lots of pain), then I realized I could even do Carnivoras (less, xp, more profit)! The spawns are endless, it all just depends what your mood is at the time. My biggest tip is just please try to alternate. If you want a chill spawn and profit do that. If you feel obligated to get xp, then do that.

To give you a better response, I'd love for you to include your level and vocation so maybe we can suggest a spawn or location that could better fit both of your needs. Maybe there's something your trying to shoot for? A house? A mount? An upgraded EQ? Let us know.

I'm elite knight level 270, i want to buy some items, but with no hurry, I want to have fun playing without being full deep in the game. As I was retired for a long time, don't have all access like glooth bandits (want to do the points to hunt there).

I balance my game between XP / Gold. For example: If I need creature items to imbue my sword, my focus is profit hunting. A good option for boosting gold is to drop some rare items like Mage's Cap or Golden Can of Oil and sell it.

I used to do that, alternate hunts of profit and exp.

But nowadays I have realised that I get more profit doing bosses than hunting, so I hunt only for exp ( burning gladiator a) and then I do all the team and solo bosses than I can.

Ofc if you can not do this, you could alternate the hunts as you proposed, or try to go to some places where the exp and the loot is good; examples: Fazer spectres, asura mirror, summer/winter courts...

I cant provide you with better alternatives since u said not ur voc and lvl

The best strategy is to focus always on exp.

The reason is that with more levels you'll be naturally stronger, dealing more damage, healing yourself more and walking faster. With this you'll naturally profit more in your hunts.

The only exception is when you just hit or are close to hit milestones levels. For example, if you're a knight and are close to get the level of ornate chestplate but don't have the money for it. It's good to stop and farm gold for a while because the item is a game changer.

Furthermore the biggest secret of Tibia is consistency. Do whatever you feel it's nice and not a shore so you don't get bored of the game.

"Do whatever you feel it's nice and not a shore so you don't get bored of the game."

This is important, I can't even tell how many times I've done this mistake by overhunting a certain spawn because it gave me the best possible experience. Recently I've been switching up spawns by going to different spawns that gives either experience, profit, or bestiary. Makes me look forward to the different hunts a bit more, and not making me fall asleep (almost) during hunts :)
