I bet the character level vs. creature level, for box drops, will be done similarly to how combat experience is shelled out. It's not exactly a level thing, but more stats and skills. A level 100 character can always have shitty combat-y stats and skills, so his hunting in chith would still yield experience.

It only seems fair to apply the same logic to box drops in Phase 3.

Well, after confirming that hunting guards doesn't kill your chances with Talra, I found Kit able to kill them. Two head shots and they're dead. I'd hate to see what would happen if they hit back. 6 guards, 1 emerald, 1 notebook paper, 1 crate. Not too bad. I just wish they weren't good. Bye bye alignment.

And after hunting 13 more, only one chest and no other drops. Hm. Guards are level 50 and they daze Kit when they hit him. I tried the paladins and it took about 6 shots to kill (they're dodgy) and after 4 I came up with no treasure at all.

Sorkaa: I'm not sure if you were quoting that for me, but I was talking about the experience grant change... sorry, I wasn't too clear in my first post. Wasn't there a change sometime that made it so that combat experience is granted both based on level and skill instead of just skill? Or am I imagining things?

Kit: Um, I dunno. Heh. I just know that guards don't drop very good treasure.

[Sorkaa]

Ah, I didn't think you could possibly be asking about treasure. Would have helped if I had read what you quoted, though. I suppose level could affect exp, but I don't remember hearing anything about it.

I hunted skeletons until I could move up to Kuchos.

How do the new critters on Chodaku stack up to other beasties?

This certainly isn't the case with everyone, but I'm detect a lot of picky hunters in the crowd. For instance, I won't hunt this because I need climbing, and I won't hunt that because it's on Jareya, and so on. When you make those choices, you certainly limit the number of creatures available to you for hunting.

I will be increasing box drop rates some, across the board, but I'm also going to look into adding ways to "reward" those who are willing to hunt in remote spots, train climbing, etc.

As for the upcoming level modifier, I'm not going to go into great detail at this time, but I'm not going to base it purely on ability. Why? Well, let's consider this from a new angle. Wouldn't we be penalizing combat-oriented professions by forcing them to hunt in higher (and this harder) areas because their skills are higher? What I mean here, is that it's common for a level 80 creature to pose more risk for a level 80 player than a level 30 creature versus a level 30 player. This is because of several factors including smarter creatures, rougher environments, etc.
