Are there any practical means to retrieving wrecked boat materials in semi deep water? I’m assuming I’m going raising up the sea floor and hoping the 100 iron nails or whatever haven’t despawned. I’m happy I was at least able to retrieve the cargo pretty easily.

I've heard if you sit on a boat and have someone push you off you will sink to the bottom of the sea (and not drown). Perhaps you can do this and pick it up before you float up?

I've heard that if you're sitting you'll sink all the way to the bottom. Either by someone shoving you off the side of a boat, or making a platform and breaking the supports, then sitting before the part you're on collapses.

you can also jump into the water from a tall structure, so make like 4 ladders and jump off.

All I need to build with stone is the two iron ingots, and I can gather the rest where I settle right? Should I go for an iron axe or iron pickaxe? Do either of them gather resources faster?

Iron pickaxe is the highest level pickaxe and the only thing that can mine silver and obsidian so it's definitely he first priority. As a downside though it can only be repaired on a level 2 forge.

The advantage to iron tools is durability, with a max upgraded pickaxe you'll be overweight on ore before it breaks so it's nice to reduce trips to a workbench. Axe is less important but if you got surplus iron at some point you might as well upgrade it. So if you don't care about durability stick with bronze or in-upgraded tools.

My friend that I play with is a mad scientist. Can anyone guess what is going on in this picture? Some tips re: mountain biome, based on our experience - If you have a choice of mountains to explore and find your first silver, choose the one that looks/seems largest. We went through literally FOUR small mountain biomes without any silver before hitting the current one where we have a dozen or more silver veins. If you find one that looks like a massive fortress with steep walls rising up into the sky, that's a good bet. If it looks like just the white tip of a mountain then spend your effort elsewhere if there are alternatives. When mining silver, consider using my friend's method. Bring both the iron pickaxe as well as an antler or bronze one. Do your initial prospecting with the antler or bronze. Since it can only uncover but not mine the silver, you can "sculpt away" the rock leaving the silver and expose the entire vein which is pretty much always in the shape of a 3 pointed star (like the center of a Mercedes Benz hood ornament). This allows you to see the entire vein and know when you're done. It also allows you to see if you've happened upon some silver in an adjacent vein, which has happened to us once or twice. If I hadn't laid the vein I was working on bare, I would have thought the little bit of silver that didn't seem connected was part of the same vein, but digging around it found a whole other vein. When dealing with wolves, I've found that melee (iron mace specifically for me, then Frostner once available) and shield usage to be the overall best approach. Though wolf attacks can be parried, it's not necessary for effective shield usage. Just getting a block up early protects you from most or all of a wolf attack and leaves the wolf wide open for your counteratttack. The wolf seems to get easily stunned after a block or a hit and this stun lasts for quite some time so you can carefullly line up your strike. A good banded shield seems to do quite well against wolf attacks. This gets to the other issue of fighting wolves in the mountains. Often times the wolves are at a different level, above you, and you can lose all your stamina swinging wildly at them and not be able to get a hit because you're at an awkward angle. If this is happening to you, recognize it early and don't continue to swing in this situation. You are better off just running to a lower or more level area where you can engage the wolf effectively from the same height. We've also found that having a chest with an emergency body recovery set including some good food, an anti frost potion and/or a spare wolf cape is good to have in the mountains.

The major drawback of spears, in the end, is that I keep throwing them into the goddamn ocean.

PittTheElder posted:As in Spear 100? Did you console your way to that point? It's not exactly common or representative either way. My spear level is at ~50 or so, sorry I misinterpreted. The weapon was upgraded to max level, is what I meant. A buddy in my server left his fully upgraded Porcupine in a chest earlier today and it honestly felt like the damage output was still quite a bit lower than the Fang Spear when fighting Lox, mostly due to the fact that it attacks much more slowly and that the lionshare of the damage comes on the third hit of the combo. The spear just trucks all the time so it has more flexibility if you only have the stamina for a hit or two instead of all three. The trade off is that Porcupine is a lot more diverse of a damage profile because it has two good damage types. So I totally understand why people like it. But for me Fang Spear combo'd with parry abuse and Frostner in tow for larger groups is the sweet spot. I should mention I haven't even tried the Black Metal Sword yet simply because I think it looks stupid.

Also remember that you only need a single stonecutter at any location. Just destroy it, pick up the materials and move it anywhere you want it. Most people know this stuff by now, but it is really hard to get used to destroying your stations that you spent good materials building. Especially if you're coming from other survival games. fennesz fucked around with this message at 07:38 on Mar 21, 2021 |

I have a weird thing where I remember I can move, like, stonecutters and stuff for free but I’ll drop a smelter and then be frown about its position for a week as tho I couldn’t just move that too.

If I thought I was going to spending much more time with this game I would absolutely replace the textures with those of a marginally greener iron sword and shield. Those have the look perfect, trying to metal it up with chains and weird shapes is just silly.

Finished the fourth boss and made my way to the plains. Holy poo poo it sucks when I get mobbed by 10+ fulings at their little villages.

Shoot them, you'll only pull a couple at a time. Until you shoot them enough that you get enough skill that you just murder them in one hit then they don't bother coming out to investigate anymore. Then you get enough skill that you just don't care what they do because you're machine gunning arrows in there so fast even legolas asks you to slow down cause you're making him look bad

 Example of two adjacent (and partially interlocking) silver veins, exposed and dissected out from the surrounding earth and rock using mainly the antler pickaxe, and then mined with an iron pickaxe.

I've spent enough time in the mountains to upgrade to silver/wolf gear and am ready to move on. I've found a few runestones, but none that pointed me toward a boss. I also grab dragon eggs whenever I find them because they seem important even though I don't know what they do yet. Can I get a general hint about what to do to move things along? Also, is it possible for the trader to not spawn anywhere on a map? I've spent a decent amount of time in two worlds and haven't seen him yet. Would just sailing around for awhile be enough to find him, or do I need to explore every Black Forest I come across and hope I get lucky?

The runestone that reveals the location of the fourth boss won't be one of the ones you come across in an open area. It will be in or near a ruined tower, usually draugr around as well.

Bow skill is the most powerful skill in the game to get even halfway to max, every melee weapon skill is just increasing the damage, bow skill increases the damage but also increases the attack speed and reduces stamina usage because you charge it faster.

As far as character growth goes in this game, is it always various forms of bigger/sharper stick, or are there other forms of power I can work toward long-term?

A friend with a 70 level on bows is like a machine gun next to mine in the low 30s. But gear matters a lot more than skill.

Run/jump and a handful of other skills aside, it’s mostly jus my bigger damage numbers and better armor rating, and it scales in a way that completely trivializes content

Will be a rough balancing act years down the line to make enemies scale up in difficulty as you progress without also killing your newbie friends who are hanging around in your game or server and don't want to get chased down by goblins or worse at night while wielding sticks and stones. Will be interesting to see if they keep going straight vertical progression past the plains with bigger numbers until the end or it will go horizontal with sidegrades and equipment that opens up new areas or is specialized for certain enemies.

Is boss-completion enemy generation tied to character or to seed? For example, I haven't killed Yagluth because I don't want goblins all over my house, but if I did and then moved to a different world, would the gobbos follow or would I get pre-Eithkyr stuff?

Server (if that's the same thing as seed, which I'm not sure). I killed bosses 3-5 on the "boss seed" that websites have posted, brought their trophies and materials to my dedicated server, but the server only recognizes that bosses 1-2 were killed there so no goblin issues. You could theoretically do this so only woodland animals attack and no trolls (which are tied in separately), I think

It would be somewhat interesting if heavier/more protective armor made you less able to backpedal away from attacks, and they did some formula where if you do get hit you take less damage the further away you are. But I'm not sure if the quirk of being able to forever avoid attacks by moving backwards is a design decision or a limitation of their AI/netcode. Basically allow the people in paper thin armor better ability to evade hits and dudes in ultra heavy iron gear get hit a lot more but feel it a lot less.

It'd be nice if they added a sailing skill - it should increase boat speeds and maybe narrow the angle of the dead zone so tacking is easier. So annoying when you are in a smaller channel and the wind turns against you.
