I've only gotten tier 1 balls from the ranch but it digs up arrows too. It's nice and probably a help early but it's also a good way to ensure every one of your chests has arrows and balls in it so that when you auto deposit it takes those out of your inventory too

explosivo posted:Yeah looks like if they're assigned to a ranch they randomly make spheres appear. If you've tested it, is it worth the Pal slots to generate them? And what tiers generate? Just want good info for the tips in OP and whether it's worth it and for how long into the game. Edit: Epic High Five posted:I've only gotten tier 1 balls from the ranch but it digs up arrows too.

Yeah the balls/arrows are nice and I've kept at least one in the ranch even now that I'm needing higher tier balls just for stock when I try to do the catch 10 of a pal thing.

Dungeons are neat, bring a torch or make the hip lantern so you don't get turned around. Also, you can reset the boss pal in the Dungeon without leaving the Dungeon (this may need a group to do? I pretty much only do dungeons with a couple friends)

If they had their way they'd just put the same build as Steam up and call it a day. They can't do that. If it doesn't get authorized, it doesn't go up. Microsoft has to authorize it. So instead of saying something like "We are aware of the issues and hope to resolve them soon" and being at the whim of Microsoft making liars out of them? Say nothing. Khanstant posted:Telling people to do more dungeons more feels like a cruel hazing prank. Get a fast mount, run to the end, kill the boss. It's boring, but it's lucrative. Things that sell for thousands, more research points, accessories you can't get anywhere else....it's good stuff.

There's been a couple examples of games recently that started out with staggered updates between Steam/GP that eventually was able to close the gap and get releases on both same day, so it's not impossible. I imagine there's at least some discussion somewhere about how to expedite that process for the fastest selling game on steam of all time. But it is still early days so I suppose not mentioning it at all is the better option.

Sab669 posted:Also I found out your Flying Mount's Stamina recovers immediately, so you can just like fly low, hop onto a tree, then immediately call it back over to pick you up and keep flying again. Fly low? Nah, fly high, jump off when the mount's stamina gets low, and then re-mount before you hit the ground. So, if anyone has the sound of wings flapping just going constantly no matter what, it turns out that it's a bug that can happen when Celeray is in your party. Switched over to Galeclaw as my glider, and the damned flapping is finally mercifully gone. Now if only I could figure out why my map keeps sliding off to the right for no reason...

Mr Scumbag posted:If you've tested it, is it worth the Pal slots to generate them? And what tiers generate? It's 100% worth it in the early game at least IMO, since they can keep your basic balls and crossbow arrows topped off unless you're burning huge amounts of both. That lets you stockpile stone and paldium instead of burning them crafting the basic balls, which you will need later.

The raids are usually done by the time the pals in back show up to fight My solution is an extension of the realization that traps work really, really well. This is the first discovery, but I've since made it a long hallway lined on both sides with traps.  The bodies stay there for quite a while.

Dungeon runs: Get a mount, yolo through the mobs looking for the boss. They're also super rich in paldium boulders. A full inv run will keep you stocked for ages.

I regularly make a trip down it mining those and hit the fast travel point down below to head back home. But yeah once my miners got going I regularly queue up 100 stone into 20 pal on the crusher and let it go.

Easiest way to find the boss eventually if you are having trouble would just be the usual method to get through dungeons, that another poster mentioned before: Pick a wall and just follow it. You'll reach the end eventually.

Like I said, follow one wall or the other. Pick left or right, and just keep following that wall exclusively. You'll get to the boss every time that way, sometimes even picking up a few random bonus treasure chests along the way. The real payoff is the boss and the two chests behind them though.

I have seen a dungeon that spawned apparently bugged before, with no entry into the boss room (obstruction in the doorway that would lead there). Granted that was once out of a ~dozen or so runs, but it's happened. Specifically the monkey one at the base of the cliff facing north, beneath the south-center(?) starter island church.

I think I saw that digtoise or somepal had an ability to dig through walls or something similar that made me think there would be destructible blocks in paths eventually. Haven't used it myself but maybe that's what the obstruction was?

Microsoft should really be streamlining this process for them, maybe even giving them a dedicated dev to help them get crossplay up and running. This should be an insanely good Get for Gamepass, especially considering they probably paid only a tiny fraction of what it was actually worth. Instead it's showing the deficiencies of Microsoft's systems. Not a good look!

Game desperately needs more then 3 bases. 5 is probably optimal unless they introduce some kind of shared stash across all bases. I've got 3 ranches running with 12 alpacas total to stack up as much wool as I can to make all the high quality cloth and get off of wasting ingots on armor. Then if you want to breed you need cakes, so that's farming milk, eggs and honey, so 4 Chikipi, 4 Beegardes, 4 Mozzarina in a single base. Based on Cattiva's improvement to level 2(+10 carry weight), using the condenser going from 0 to 1 Star is a 20% improvement, but trying to find 116 Beegardes or Mozzarina's is going to be a loving chore.
