  3. Confirm Take Skull Armor is learned before hunting the Scavenger whose skull plate you need.

Early Hunting Route

Volume I is the cleanest introduction to the hunting-book chain: find the book, use Cavalorn as the handoff, then learn the collection skill before chasing the matching beast part. The book order is flexible, but this first route is easy to combine with an early Old Camp or Outer Ring trip.
