Opening post by Lord Gawen Hunter · #1
i’m a nuisance about energy budgets, so check the hunt screen before you ride: note the displayed energy cost, then decide how many hunts you can finish today. Set your cap to cover that plan, not some grand run you may never make...
If you’re unsure, start modestly. I’d leave enough room for energy to build between visits rather than letting it sit pinned at the cap; Brindlemark taught me what waste looks like, and a full store you don’t spend is its own kind of barren field.
After the first hunt, check your remaining energy and adjust the cap to match your actual pace. Don’t raise it just because you can. A small plan you finish beats a feast of hunts abandoned halfway...
