[@zakle3805]

The first caravan you go to I highly recommend new players grab the spade. Out of everything you can get there, this is the most useful in the long run. You'll use that to create the well which is, obviously, a great source for water. To make the spade, you'll first need nails, planks, and ingots, all of which require other workstations or looting first. Just get it then and save yourself the hassle (and dehydration); don't use it for fighting. Save it until you can make the well.

[@jamesorlong]

I don't recommend crafting spades, you should eventually find an Exile who has one, and then you can just kill them and take it. It's a waste of nails to craft spades. If you're using them for building the well, you can use up most of the durability and still use it for crafting the well.

[@talonvaughn6175]

I didn't grab the spade and I'm kicking myself lol. I killed about 20 exiles and haven't found one. Thinking about restarting since I'm only level 12. The caravan is sorta like the plane crash in LDOE, and I should have known better than to leave the spade behind🤦‍♂️

Tip: only do 3-6 loot runs each (irl) days energy depletes fast in this game 1 energy is only acquire fot each 3 minutes. NEVER grab locks. You will only need it in the future. Not right now. 3 always do the card game and spend you coins on it (either win big or loose big) as you can always win it back

[@joemama1566]

I know this video was a long time ago so you might not answer but, I need help with the resources. I cut down all the trees and now there’s no rocks bush things nothing. So I have to travel to different places and waist my energy just to get wood and stuff. So I really don’t know what else to do

[@jamesorlong]

That is exactly what you have to do. You don't have to waste your energy, you could just wait the time to walk there, but it's not exactly wasted if you're using it to play the game.

[@mythicgamez2193]

Thx alot

[@user-ym8vk1tn4d]

Not being prepared is a mistake newbie players always lose everything because they rush they're progress and not grinding for resources and you can conserve your armor and be naked with 1 wooden club and 10 - 20 healing foods and 1 axe and 1 pickaxe in a 1 skull zone in 2 skull zones you need ragged set and another 10 - 20 healing food and i recommend bringing a cart thill and a dagger if you can't bring a dagger then i don't know because i am not an expert these are just my opinions and for 3 skull zones you need gambeson set and cart thill and one handed sword or any sword like falchion or bastard sword and you need 20 healing foods because in a 3 skull zone you need to be well prepared and you need 5 - 10 bandages and axe and pickaxe incase you need to gather resources.

[@jamesorlong]

It takes experience to know what you need to take to be prepared. And a club + a bit of healing food may work for experienced players who know how to use it, but newbies may not know how to do well with just a club.

[@Raddish-IS-Radd]

Bonus tip always save some berries holly berries are great for instant health later on since bandages for kind of expensive and heal only 40 And haw berries are great for health to along with fried leek

[@jamesorlong]

Hollyberries makes you vomit though if you eat 10 of them and the healing isn't instant. The downside is you can't stack that many in your inventory. 1 stack of berries heals you for 140 hp, a stack of bandages heals you for 800 hp.

[@Raddish-IS-Radd]

@@jamesorlong my point is you can make spirit with holly berries or whatever it's called and turn that into the elixir And yes my point is to gather a few once you go to a zone for the future so you can create more at your base instead of using precious energy to get a few

I have one question for skills. I have the most skills on max. The skills with 10 lvl are at 7-8. But skills like weapon and food what need the last lvl, i cant find it. And my last 4 full dungeon runs give me 0 skill books. Where can i get the last lvl? And Where can i get the leather pannier?

[@jamesorlong]

Highest level skills can be gotten from merchants, after you finish the alchemist table to make gold from iron (you need to have a lvl 15 horse and go to the north zones). They don't always have the trade for gold to get skill books, so you have to be lucky... Leather pannier can be gotten from fosaken dungeon floor2 & 3 and I've heard you can get them from 5 skull zones as well but haven't gotten one from there myself yet so don't quote me on that.

[@blackstorm6144]

@@jamesorlong so lvl 9 and 10 must be traded? I have the torch skill on 10 without trading. But 4 full dungeon runs no skill books. My one handed sword is on lvl 6, this is the max. Every weapon before the sword need the last lvl. Where i can get lvl 2 for fist? Skill book are like a big bug. I got only 3 leather pannier from 40 full dungeon runs... The bridle is unique But i have it 12 times. No luck in 5 skull zone. Btw what is with aissa? Is there a Chance for bag?

[@jamesorlong]

@@blackstorm6144 Sorry for the late reply. Some basic skills (such as the torch) can be gotten to level 10 without trading, but more rare ones require trading. (see the official discord server chart/tables channel, they have a table with all the info already there, it's nicely color-coded too) Lvl 2 for fist is a skill you need to trade for with the merchants. Yeah, pannier is very rare... The rarity system and how rare items actually are is kinda stupid, so don't expect items that have a lower rarity ranking in the game to actually show up more often than "legendary" items, based on rarity. The devs also account for how much players want/demand an item (like big backpack) is rarer than other "rare" or even "legendary" items. I haven't fought Aissa yet, so idk if she drops the pannier, but during the Christmas event she did drop a Christmas skin version of the bag, so I don't see why she wouldn't normally drop the regular version.
