Thats why I actively avoid stormbirds at all cost. They just take up too many resources to down even with great gear.Yeah I don't really like fighting stormbirds. They're the hardest enemy in the game for a reason. That's not an easy 'cheat' strategy against them like other machines. Fights with them often just turn into shooting lots of arrows
I feel like I hit a glitch with the ancient vessel collectables. I have a whole set of 4, but for some reason when I go to trade them with a merchant it says I have them all but the little x1 is in red meaning it's not in my inventory. I don't believe you can sell them or drop them so I'm not sure what happened.
Well its not like you're missing much anyway. The rewards for the collectibles are terrible.
