Does anyone have any suggestions on how to actually do this? I've been taking some Blood on my pretender and dedicating him to bloodhunting sometime during year 2, and then empowering a national mage and moving my pretender to other duties. I used some indy scouts together with my pretender. Once I have the one B1 mage and forge a Sanguine Dousing Rod, things are easy, but any tricks towards getting there would be nice.

Also, since bloodhunting reliability is supposed to be linked to site frequency, is it noticeably harder to hunt with scouts in LA than in EA (default site freq. goes down in MA and again in LA).
