The success of hunting and fishing is based on a series of Random Generation or RNG, including rank bonuses, and any additional bonuses from skills, traits, or companions.
Initial Score:
1-20 RNG
+ Strength + Speed (Hunting)
or
+ Stamina + Strength (Fishing)
Rank Bonuses:
Novice +5/ Adept +10/ Expert +15/ Master +30/ Legend +60
Additional Bonuses:
+5-15 (1-3 riders or starters)
+ Companion or trait bonus
Having a higher ranked Algolope tends to offer better bonuses and chances. Additionally, training can boost your stats +1-3 points so it's beneficial to train your algos to do better in activities and to produce stronger offspring.
Strength stat has an additional bonus of applying the stat itself as a potential bonus to find more items in hunting, and Stamina for fishing. For example if your Algo has a STR: 6, then they have a 6% chance to find an additional item. You'll know your algo was successful or unsuccessful by the following comments:
Str Bonus: +6% chance extra prey [1-6/100 chance]
[Import] didn't find anymore prey. 89/100.
or
[Import] successfully found another prey with a strength bonus roll of 3/100!
[Import Name] found the following: 1x Item Name!
This is an additional bonus added to all hunting or fishing activities, it pulls from the primary stat of that activity. Strength for Hunting, and Stamina for Fishing.
