You can find the flowers before talking to her, to do anything with them I'm sure you need to visit her.

Do you know if we can turn into the animal anywhere? I mean, without having to go to panflet place after the first time.

I think it's only going to be a single spawn point for the transformation, perhaps a different one for each animal I'd expect.

As people mention the first buck pamphlet is free, but it seems to be popular opinion that future ones will cost gold, I wouldn't be surprised.

 

I only found the 1 flower yesterday and when I went to locations I saw on a review video I didn't find any, so I must have been slightly off in where I was looking.

 

The RDO map linked at the bottom of the jeanropke map menu does have the option to have these flowers on a map, so it's going to be easy enough to find them, i didn't use it because it was in the morning and I didn't know if the map had been updated to include these yet, but it does work now for sure.

 

I'm likely to not bother with this thing much unless we can change into a bird and really do some exploring.

Limited area and especially time is a huge downer, to me anyway.

Seeing as both male and female share the same animation trees why can't we choose our heights from either sex? What if I want a short guy or a tall girl?

I suspect clothing issues; same thing with GTA Online--it would mean R* has to generate special versions of all clothing for the taller and shorter heights... which would translate into a significant amount of extra work.

It makes sense being one spot for each animal but It seems too much effort for little return, if we could at least use it anywhere after we learn from the original place, it would be used way more often I am sure.

Some interesting things of late:

 

Anybody else shoot a bird or animal at distance and run to it, only to find that the "paw" marker is there, but the animal is nowhere to be found? Seems to be happening to me more often of late.

 

There's also a minor but strange bug in the boat docked at Thieves Landing; if you jump or fall into the hold, you'll hear a distinct water splash, rather than a "thump" sound (hitting boards like it should be). I think the boat's 'lower geometry' is messed up...

 

You may have figured that NPCs you rescue have some sort of special protection--and you'd be right. But R* has given them downright "god" status, such that even Alligators completely ignore them, all the while looking at you like you're their lunch. Thanks, R*!

 

Makes complete sense--one minute they're in danger of being eaten, the next completely invisible to Alligators. *facepalm*

 

And lastly, if you're curious as to just how borked the AI is with lawmen, here's a good example.

That antique alcohol bug is still ongoing, ie. selecting one of them to drink but the game registers it as a different type of antique alcohol (in my case, the game continues to register my character drinking the Tennessee Whiskey when I haven't selected it). Come on R* get this fixed please. 

[DentureDynamite]

^^ In a similar way, there's a big issue (at least on the PC) with registering mouse clicks (and double-clicks) on inventory items. The safest way to use/eat anything is to first try and select it with your mouse, then use the keyboard equivalent to consume or use it...

 

Way too many times I'm trying to eat some minty big game or drink a tonic while fighting lawmen, and the game completely zones out and doesn't register any mouse clicks. It's a very frustrating bug.

You definitely have to go back to the same spot, after my bout as a derr I got a message to 'return later with more flowers to reestablish your connection with this animal'.

 

You can also extend your time if you have more flowers in your satchel.

I picked 10 before starting and i got this message after the time had almost run out:

 

 

You also still get freeroam invites. 

 

I thought perhaps Madam would have something different to say, but no.

 

[Caffeination]

I had time to kill, and remembered that I haven’t filled Cripps with 100/100 goods in case of a delivery daily. 
 

Well, I joined a session only populated by a level 25 player. Animals were abundant, so I hunted some and started a resupply mission, only to be put in my own session and later merged with a level 130 that made Cripps and every animal but the camp dog disappear. Not even NPCs are in the towns or the roads, let alone their hitched horses.

 

But, you know what spawned just fine? A yet another revenue agents checkpoint. As if that is what’s important here.

Haha nice one! Indeed it would be amusing to see Madam reacting accordingly instead of just ignoring it or talking to us.

 

Other players can see the one transformed? Imagine this as the RC vehicles in GTAo.

 

I see this addition quite interesting but it lacks purpose, its usefulness could be thought as something you would use to take advantage of the animal’s ability. Like using the herbs in any open place in the wilderness and you could connect to the nearest buck around, being of radar, using for spying would be very useful.

There was only one other player in the session, I passed him in Strawberry on my way to get this stuff done.

 

I couldn't catch any pronghorns, elk were too tough, even NPC horses knocked me underneath them when trying to gut them with the horns, but they would rear up and drop their riders and I tried to gut them, but just trampled them.

I killed 3 NPCs while waiting for the timer to run out.

 

Madam wouldn't even feed me! 

 

Spying would be pretty cool, as long as you weren't a blip on the mini map.

 

I'm really anticipating being a bird, but Harriet has no interest in birds, so maybe we won't get to do that at all.

For sure, like the RC’s. Players would have to figure out “that animal with a strange behavior”.  I think it would be  very cool having several animals to connect, birds are nice because of the freedom and power flying offers, so I imagine for balance purposes a Hawk, Owl and any of the bigger birds would fit for this. And if other players shoot you mid air you would die falling transformed lol

Nazar has a thing against vension. I thought it would have been hilarious if we happened to be the legendary buck for the week.

Man, that sounds unlucky. I'm up to 79 Categories Traded in the Farmland Habitats category, basically using that farm (for cows and bulls) that gives Hereford and Devon Bulls occasionally. I'm only using solo lobbies and really haven't seen that happen yet. I mean, after I decimate them I have to wait for the reset but I always get both cows and bulls.

Jesus that's impressive.

There's 2 farms that have a bull, does 1 have a higher chance to spawn a devon or hereford? I find Angus way too often.

All flower locations are on the map, these we of course knew before we finally got the update to actually turn into animal, so it was just a matter of turning them on the map, so it will be at least useful until the transforming into animals get boring.

I hate that now that I've done a full set I can't tell what's been stamped any more, they all have the stamp icon.

Not that I intend to do a bunch, but it's very clunky. The stamps should reset when you trade a set in.

You can find bulls at 3 farms: the one at Mattock Pond, the small farm west Emerald (usually an ox, but sometimes a bull), and Emerald sometimes has 2.

I found Hereford mainly at the Mattock Pond farm, but it's been at Emerald as well if I remember correctly.

It has always been a Devon at the small farm west of Emerald when not an ox.

Must be a glitch, I've traded in 4 Farmland sets and they're all stamped still but I can't trade in a set and can't tell which ones I need to complete.

 

edit: I'm running file verification right now to see if that fixes it.

No, West Hill Haven Ranch has a Bull and Ox, same with Carmody Dell. And Emerald only has 2 Oxen.

I hate how SP has more Bull spawns

I must be mistaken, I thought I'd seen a bull at Emerald.

(I'm also terrible at remembering the place names)

It's okay, I had to google Carmody Dell twice because I forgot about it instantly after the first time.

It's an unusual name to me. What's a dell? All I know is a bell.

I wish there was a bull at Emerald, closest to a fast travel.

I'm lazy and try to fast travel everywhere as much as I can xD

A dell:

"n physical geography, a dell is a small secluded hollow, (implying also) grassy, park-like, usually partially-wooded valley. The word "dell" comes from the Old English word dell, which is related to the Old English word dæl, modern 'dale'."

 

I believe it could also be called a 'draw' 'vale' 'dingle' 'glen'.

Not a commonly used term in the last century or so.

I managed to save the pictures but I've just spent the last twenty minutes trying to figure out how to post pictures here...duhhhhh.

 

Anyway, the farm I use is above the words HEARTLAND OIL FIELDS on the map. The procedure I was taught--put horse behind the house, go sample the animals I want, come back to the house, open and close the chest four or five times, go back and sample the animals I want. Rinse and repeat. Or, if the animal I want is not there, shoot into the air to scatter the animals, go back and open/close the chest four or five times, then go check the animals again. Yeah, I know it's crazy but it's the way it was shown to me...and it's worked so far. 

 

I believe all the bulls are there, the Hereford and Devon bulls being the hardest to conjure up.

Interesting, will give that a shot for sure.

And is that the chest on the bottom or top floor?

Also, do you have something like this for Panthers and Moose?

I currently have 8 Panther samples on me, but no Florida samples. I haven't focused on samples much, but whenever I'm near a Panther spawn I check it out and for some reason it's almost always the regular panther for me.

I think of the last 10 Panthers I found, only 1 was a Florida one.

Same with the moose, mostly the Bull one although it's not as bad as with the panthers.
