Has it been updated yet? Are you on 2.1 or 2.0? and red salamanders are slow especially when your player stops running. Plus most random events in that area teleport you away from the hunting spot. I dont recommend hunting at Red Salamanders. What level are you can you hunt something else?
I think I will take off Salamanders, no one really hunts there
im currently 60 hunter i was still on 2.0 im on 2.1 now thought i would give them a try noticed it wasint working properly
