We ought to determine who does what so we can hammer out our crafting builds asap. 2-4 of each profession is preferred setup if we got the people.

EU is still up. I had to switch from NA download to EU download. Once it's done I'll just change the file names to NA instead of EU. Easy fix.

What file do you need to rename?

I was SUPER into Darkfall. Wurm Online had nothing on Darkfall.

Speaking of Darkfall. All the super care bear, holier than thou Guilds from Darkfall - The Hyperion Alliance including the Dutchy of Wessex are in this. They are all poo poo lords and they are KOS for me.

Edit: For crafting I'll just start with Hunting I guess - Is this WIKI up to date? - https://lifeisfeudal.gamepedia.com/Skill

Unfortunately due to the skill cap you either smith or mine

Some guild made "profession cards" that are like quick references for builds. I'll find them

I'll assume we'll need someone with mining before there can be a smith so I'll start out on that.

So like your skill cap is 400.

So a "smith" would be approximately following:

Artisan 60
Materials Prep 60
Smelting 90
Forging 90
Armor Smithing 90


Additionally, we need more carpenters than constructors. You only need like one constructor, to plan out the buildings sine everyone can actually build them once planned; but most buildings require a ton of materials produced by carpentry. Also needs furniture.

It really does take a village to produce materials since most things require materials and support from a variety of professions

Like it takes about 7+ people to provide enough infrastructure to make basic armor or even metal materials like nails

I could slowly level hunting and carpentry and then as things get going slowly transfer skills from carpentry back into hunting. I don't see a downside to dual leveling this early in the game but it will be necessary to focus on one skill sooner or later I agree

Thank Gorb they added horse carts as well, this is long-term but before we undertake any sort of large project like stone walls or large warehouses/houses in general, we should ideally have 2 or 3 horse carts.

A few of us are heading towards a body of water we lovingly call Space Baby Lake to scout, the northwestern most lake on the mainland that kinda looks like a fetus.

Just go to the mainland afaik unless there is a way to keep getting free food on the newbie island, which would be useful.

Yep, you will need 60 artisan and 60 digging to fully unlock mining.

30 skill opens the next skill in the tree, but you will be capped at that skill to 29.9999 until the previous skill hits 60. You don't need to strictly max any skill, 60 is enough to fully open the next in the tree.

So the community is pretty noticeably a weird mix of leftists and reactionary right wingers with the odd normal person mixed in

Help me understand the ticket thing. If I use it could I delete my character and re-roll and get back to the mainland? Is it simply a one-time-only free pass for a single character? I got the impression it gave you a slot for a single character on the mainland but some comments in one of the chats on newbie island seemed to imply that once you use it it's gone and you're screwed if you delete the character that used it (well, not screwed, you have to buy a slot).

It's by character and yes once it's gone you're hosed. The game kind of railroaded me onto the EU server and I wasted my ticket. So I emailed the devs to get it back. Else you gotta buy a new one.

Sounds like a loving scam? Because it is

Yeah I only noticed it was putting me on the EU server by default when I saw the default installation path.

I guess I can live with the ticket being one-time only since it doesn't seem hard to re-spec your character by marking skills to be reduced when you hit the skill cap.

I'm wandering around the southern desert right now where it dumped me. I'll keep an eye on this thread for plans (location, etc.)

I probably won't bother with mumble since I have no mic (it's a VOIP thing, right?). I'm more used to IRC.

Edit: I'm in as Cunk, BTW.
