as what you predicted the cannibal brute being the strongest fighter is a bug and he/she finally will be patched in chapter 3.. 😅

[@AngaarUK]

Yep, normal service restored 😂

[@keaboyy]

Love your content bro, i like to watch your episodes over and over while i play, just to keep me company. Pls dont stop these episodes any time soon. I may already know most of the things you talk about but i still enjoy watching. Plus theres little things that i didnt know and now know thanks to you. I even reffer you to new players asking for help on reddit👍 Cant wait to see you fight the new system purge

[@Lava-pe6wu]

Angaar, couldnt you also craft the armor mods that actually increase the armor value and place those on the pieces to make the armor even tankier, and if you was to put it on i believe you said it was the Cannibal Brute who "has low health but hits like a truck" this would protect them more and allow them to take on tougher enemies much easier? Not to mention if you added either armor pen or actual weapon damage to their weapons as well ???

[@AngaarUK]

You sure can

[@kierenaldridge4988]

These videos are great. Thank you for all your help. Don't think I would have got as much out of the game without you.

[@beckthetinkerbot]

Im finally playing on a server now. So Im been taking a break from single-player. It's always good to start fresh to keep things interesting.

[@Caedus9001]

So im finally caught up on the series, the help has been great. One thing im still not the clearest on is the golem. I have a number of them loafing about my base and would like more info. Know a good wiki? Im not a huge fan of fextra and fandom feels like i leave LESS informed a lot of the time.

[@AngaarUK]

I have a video on Golem's here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGTaYauXl7dgoKc

[@Caedus9001]

Ah, Thanks! That's my bad for not thinking to look at the other sections.

[@marcsantos4499]

I couldn’t figure out how to use that grind stone thanks for the clarification, always learning something new with your vids and I really appreciate them!

[@thirteensworld]

I usually end up with 1000's of seeds so creating oil from them isn't a big deal (Good way to get rid of excess seeds.) However seeing how much oil you get per bark/ichor I may start creating oil that way instead. I also never thought about the treasure value of the gold bars and I have a habit of grinding bars. Going to have to change that habit as well. As always I learn something from the videos thanks.

[@SixBadges]

Another epic video (did you see what I did there?)

[@AngaarUK]

Well done 😂😂😂

[@molnaromatic]

A perfected video for the perfected armors 😉

[@angelobambo4644]

Fantastic episode as always sir. Went nd had a stern talk with the red mother after your stream sunday, she aends her apologies. I would ask what i should do with a third torch from her but i have a feeling i already know where youd want me to put it😂😂😂. Maybe theres a mod so i can use three at once like Zoro from one piece lol.

Could you spend a few seconds at some point in the video giving an idea of just how many hours you spend collecting resources off camera? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate you not taking us along for the ride, it's enough we have to do it ourselves, but it would give a better sense of just how long it takes to progress. Your videos are already full of great info, can we have some more please? 😉PS. I finally got caught up on the live streams and plan to join on the next one. It's a great community, particularly since it seems to include a fair number of "mature" people.

[@joesin5126]

Thanks for the vids man! I have been doing a playthrough following the videos like steps. I've been playing without admin commands the whole time but the first time I looked at it I hit the +encumber button a few times not knowing or noticing what I did.... My carry capacity is at 325 arghhhh is the any way to fix this?

[@AngaarUK]

Can't say I know how to reset stats added from Admin Panel. Maybe a Potion of Bestial Memory will reset it?

[@joesin5126]

nah it didn't work... It's a shame because I am 100 + hours in my first run and now I have to reset I guess.@@AngaarUK

[@destroyingangel9838]

I have the hardened leather blues should be made into a song, just hit 60 on Siptah and was in shock how little steel one gets from 1000 ironstone, damn those merchants and their supply boxes full of iron and steel bars, miss those days now they are gone. Lol

[@Lava-pe6wu]

The epic armor you got off what you call "mobs" (not sure what thats supposed to be short for), but couldn't you repair those armors and weapons using the repair grindstone?

[@AngaarUK]

Mob is a long time gaming term that comes from "mobile object" and basically means any sort of aggressive NPC. You can't repair armour with the grindstone, I believe it is only for tools. If you know the recipe to craft the item you could repair it, but will require end game materials. We want to craft the Epic armour ourselves as we then get the extra stat bonuses from out Tier 4 crafters.

[@wierdersnow116]

I think the grindstone got a nerf I was toying with it this morning and it repairs everything on your hotbar but it put durability loss on My star metal items so maybe it's only good for up to hardened steel and I'm not sure if you can place armor in your hotbar and repair it that way but I'm Def interested now

[@ghostconant7781]

I have pro tip sort of. I heard you mention that you can't have 2 horses following at once. While this is true, it is also true that the horse you are riding doesn't have to be following, it goes where you go.

[@gratuitouslurking8610]

I do find it amusing to a degree that the Perfected base armor sets are at max armor values after the journey, thus making them perfect for thralls. It's not as bad as getting the Perfected weapons of other tiers, as you'll be making more armor for all your thralls and such anyway, and the other sets still give you excuses to use them due to skill bonuses.

[@Major-Dan]

Thanks again! Beginning to come to grips with it all, there is so much detail, but it does make sense.

[@perceivedvelocity9914]

I really don't like the "prerequisite" system. All plans should be level locked. If I'm max level I shouldn't need to unlock 15 things to craft the armor that I want. I really enjoy this game but they explain nothing and lock everything behind unnecessary requirements.

[@AngaarUK]

I don't mind it as it is standard in most survival games. It makes sense that in order to craft steel tools you should know how to make iron tools, etc.

[@Knucklehead501]

Never fails I always learn something new from your videos man 🤘

[@DropB3arZ]

Angaar, you know you don't need to make the padding before the armour, as long as you have alll the mats in the station it will auto make the padding, y7ou can tell if its possible by the little Wheel over the padding

[@AngaarUK]

Yeah, this is true. I is just easier to explain what is happening to new players

[@Atl_Boi_73]

Why not replace the older benches with the new benches?

[@angelobambo4644]

Certain lower tier things can only be crafted at the lower benches.

[@Atl_Boi_73]

@@angelobambo4644 why would you want to craft lower grade stuff at that point.

[@perceivedvelocity9914]

I have a question about heavy armor vs medium armor. I'm currently running a strength build and wearing heavy dragon bone armor. Would I gain or lose anything if I dropped down to a set of medium dragon bone armor? Right now I'm a tank. My Thralls do most of the work.

[@gratuitouslurking8610]

From my own limited experimentation and exploration, you don't seem to go slower or anything based on heavier armor types, I think it's literally just less weight versus more protection, plus whatever armor skills you currently got.

[@bullwyrk]

Medium armors are lighter in weight so you gain more carry capacity and I believe a bit more mobility but lose armor value which in return lowers damage reduction. In regards to bonus stats on armor you don't lose anything if I'm not misstaken! In my opinion, the redeemed legion set is better then the voidforge dragon armor because it gives a lot more cold and heat protection, also better str weapon damage % but it has slightly less armor value.

[@OwDoGaming-kx9jo]

While doing a purge challenge I found that redeemed legions head and chest. And Pictish warchief for the rest give your friends massive strength buffs 6-8% per item. The brute is now more of a wrecking machine

[@AngaarUK]

Nice one, although I have some bad news… in Chapter 3 the Brute’s damage multiplier will get nerfed back down from 3.12 to 1.56 😔😔😔

I swear Im obsessed with your videos. Ran out of 2023 beginner guide videos to watch, so I started watching the age of sorcery and 2022 videos. Now Im watching the Ark Ascended videos as well, even though I'm bored of Ark as of a year ago 🤣 I'm disapointed I'll never get to experience the anticipation of purges creeping up on you though 😭

[@nelw.5294]

what is better health or damage bonus for a thralls armor?

[@AngaarUK]

The great thing about this game is there isn’t really a “best” option, but typically the damage bonus will help kill things quicker than the extra health will provide

[@destroyingangel9838]

If your thralls don't survive the encounter than who cares how much damage they can do, for me it's health as the highest priority or a mix of 50/50.

[@Bubbles99718]

As a % health additions aren't much on Thralls. What's 120 health bonus on a 3k to 5k thrall? Str boost on the other hand really adds up. On the higher hp Bosses, they will do over a 100 whacks on it

[@nelw.5294]

​@@Bubbles99718 I have now a 15 Lvl bearer thrall, he got 10K life and with agility armor 43% in agility damage. 🙄 All my thralls are agility fighters.

[@Bubbles99718]

@@nelw.5294 Exactly, damage boost is the way to go. Agi or str, whatever. 125 hp on a 10k thrall is around 1% boost.
