Could we change it so you can hunt every 7.5 Cantr hours?
With the current system people who can log in once a day will only manage to hunt every second day.
BTW, I suspect a bug in the routine that checks if you are allowed to hunt or not: it compares timestamps lexicographically. Which means that if I last hunted fireflies at 2.8 I will be able to hunt them the next day at 2.9 but not anymore at 2.10 because "2.10" < "2.8".

This issue, I think, is that it's by the hour, not the minute. So if I hunt at 1500-4, I won't be able to hunt again until 1501-5. I think what Okud is saying that if you only log in once a day, at generally the same time, you can only hunt every other day, because hunting doesn't reset until the full 8th hour goes by. I have experienced this pesonally on all my characters that hunt; my daily hunting is always an hour later each day.

Not so, it goes by the minute.
1479-6.19: You skillfully hurt a bear using a crossbow, which loses 42 strength.
1480-6.21: You skillfully kill a lion using a crossbow.
You can't hunt until like the minute after the minute you hunted the day before, I think.
