Fox brushing... Like a PRO!

Are you zoomed out to the max!!??

Here is a quick list of fox brushing tips!

Zoom out fully! You will be able to see the fox coming from planks away! Type /zoom .5 in local chat or use the + and - keys! 

Drop your camera at home, and use eyeballery to spot the fox at a distance!! You don't have to be close to it!! (Thanks everyone who commented this!)

ALWAYS have 2 brushes!! When you are gathering the fibers off one brush, swipe with the other! Keep them next to each other in your bag, so you can go from one to the other!

Choose a spot with at least 3 clearings, like so! This means you can see the fox easier! If there isn't 3 clearings when you are zoomed out, it probably isn't worth trying for the fox.

Place your bait BEHIND you, so the fox has to pass you to get to it. Make sure at least one bait is visible.

If you see a bugged fox, report it. The staff need to know!

Remember:
Zoom out fully!

Eye ball
2 brushes!
3 Clearings! 
Bait-behind!

  • If you changed the title to fox brushing like a pro or something of that sort, it would be a bit easier to remember. Good post though :)

  • Wow! I was doing none of this! Now I suspect every fox I successfully brushed just let me do it out of pity.

  • Use eyeballery, it doesn't matter where you are, when you see the fox you'll be able to brush it. Just move back and forth

  • Many thanks...especially for the 2-Brush Tip! Was doing everything else, and had no idea we could use two! This is going to help immensely, I suspect....

  • Yup, use eyeballery and stand as close to the ranger as you can. The fox can sometimes run about for hours with the bait so far away

  • I cannot tell you enough thank yous for this one. Since I am vulpophobic, it would have taken me a year to figure this out! Now I may actually tolerate Fox. LOL

  • Thanks everyone!  Remind me, what's the zoom level for full zoom out and how do I get back to normal?  What numbers do I use?  Thanks.  :)
