fox brushing

my brush doesn't come back fast enough, so i can catch the fox some more.  also, sometimes, when i light a bait, i only get one brush out of it.   is this how the game was designed?  thanks

  • Some people buy another brush, so they can use the second one while the first is resetting.
    Sometimes the fox eats the bait right away, sometimes it lasts a couple minutes.

  • One reason I play games like Glitch (as opposed to other types) I have no eye-hand coordination, so fox brushing is almost impossible for me.

    Is it is very very hard for others to do this, or is it just me?

  • It's not just you.  I don't have a whole lot of trouble with it, but when it was introduced there was a vocal minority complaining about being unable to do fox brushing.   Rest assured that it's not a big part of the game and you can manage just fine buying the occasional fiber and fabric off the auctions.

  • Yeah, it's not just you. Fox brushing is kind of variable. Lately it has been so much of a pain (literally & figuratively) that I'm giving it an extended rest. The one bait/one brush ratio is pretty frustrating.

  • @ArtOfHands, there is also a group called The Fiber Exchange www.glitch.com/groups/RIFPJ... for ppl who have trouble gathering fiber and those who want to help them out. Let me know if you would like some. I love gathering :)

  • I came to this forum totally frustrated with my attempts. I just tried again to brush a fox and I  had a breakthrough. I ignited the bait. Instead of chasing the fox, I stood in one place next to a couple of the bait vapors and waited for it to come to me. I think got 3 or 4 brushes in which came to about 96 fibers. I don't know if that's a huge haul, but it was better than nothing and I feel oddly satisfied. Oh I had 2 brushes on hand.
