Hunting frequency

My character used to be able to hunt every 8 ticks (exactly once a day). Now the frequency seems to be every 9 ticks?!?

This is disturbing, as the rl time is changing every day now.

Is this normal, or is this a bug?

This is normal. The time between attacks or hunts is not exactly 8 hours, and I believe that depending on when you attack, it could be earlier or later. You were probably getting lucky by hunting at an "earlier" time, and gradually drifted to a "later" time that could have been only a few minutes later. Now you're stuck. I'd just skip a day of hunting and start over at your preferred time and see if it works as it did before.

It's actually every 8.333 ticks, that is 8 ticks rounded up to nearest full 12 minutes.

Official statement ;)
Attacks records are removed eight times a day (every cantrian hour). It is not continuous process. If you attack someone you have to wait until 8 removal ticks are passed. If you attack just after a tick, you have to wait almost cantrian hour longer than if you attack just before a tick.

Thanks for clarifying that, Marol!
