Tip For All Monster Hunters/Slayers:
A lot of the 'easier' monsters you're going to be dealing with are killed with silver or salt-rounds. I can't teach you how to make silver bullets, you're going to have to buy those, but I can teach you how to make a salt-round.
Salt-rounds are like Buck-Shot, just Salt-rounds have rock salt in them instead of pellets. You cannot make a Salt-round with just regular ole' table salt though, you need rock salt or coarse salt. Something with a bit of bite and grit to it.
You also need empty shotgun casings. You can buy them, they come with stoppers to put on the bottom to keep everything inside, you can also just take regular shotgun casings and empty them out, or you can find empty shotgun casings lying around in the woods, those will work too if they aren't busted to shit.
Salt rounds are an easy craft, take your empty casing, add rock/coarse salt, and maybe even add some silver pellets (No.4 Buck, small pellet. 000 Buck, large pellet. One or the other is needed for your bullet to have a mean kick, but it is optional.), add your stopper to the bottom of your casing to keep everything in the shell.
The stopper is well a stopper, its purpose is to literally stop the contents from spilling out on your station, in your bag, or even into your shotgun. The stopper will keep you from ruining your firearm.
So, just use it.
Happy hunting Slayer, blast those ghosts to Hell for me..
