A really neat thing I found out while playing is that when fighting enemies like Treants, Stone Golems, and the weird Venus flytraps, you do slightly more damage when you use the weapon catered to their resource counterpart. Aka using a mace for the stone golem, axes for the treant and sword for the flytrap

[@MrAtomicDuck]

Interesting!

[@kuno3336]

I knew it!

[@kilowatt6209]

Yep! I tried that and instantly saw results and stuck to it

[@jackbedford-harman4589]

Ahh, thanks bud. Didn't occur to me to try this.

[@TheLuckymod13]

And reapers for undead

[@MesaGaming]

compulsively sort function is probably one of the best designed QoL thing in this game and all of survival / sandbox games , the thought and detail the devs put into this was really really impressive

[@MrAtomicDuck]

Agreed!

[@PhunnyConflicts]

I love how boss's will fight each other. I randomly experienced that last night when playing. Seeing the flashy skills display by both bosses from the shadows, I waited for one to be down first before I strategically planned to assassinate the survivor. With about 35% hp each, they saw and turned to me, spamming their skills which alerted me to dodge out into the moonlight. And just like that, I was in a FFA match. Granted, they were weakened already, but at the same time, I was only doing 3-6 damage and was heavily out leveled. Regardless, I survived in the FFA and rewarded with two new skills to use while I meant to track another boss all together. What a cool experience.

[@Jones-ke6bt]

I enjoy watching bosses kill everything around them and just pick up the resources.

[@tira159]

o shit u too lol

[@Nazanir]

Here's a useful tip: Any weapon can harvest ALL resources of it's corresponding level. Copper Swords for example can also break down Sulphur Stones. You don't need a mace (it only is 25% faster, that is all), so if you are strapped for reesources, craft the weapon you enjoy, there is no reason to upgrade your entire arsenal.

[@MrAtomicDuck]

Ah yes! Definitely a good one! We've used this a couple times when we haven't been able to get all pieces upgraded.

[@v0dka885]

I upgraded my full arsenal to get an idea of what weapon I wanna stick with throughout the game so I settled with the axes

[@skyltdockan]

When mining a rock, does to sword degrade faster than the maze?

[@UltraTriiHard4All]

@@skyltdockan not exactly answering your question but with the spear it degrades at a rate of 1 per swing so I assume it probably works the same!

[@vedarovski4110]

Btw, use skills to harvest. For example, I use spears first ability to mine. It is so faster.

[@Maskedmous]

Instead of traveling crazy distances with items, set Teleport Bound Items to false. It's basically an inverted option with a bad naming. It allows you to teleport with items. Saves a lot of trips, though of course you could leave it on if you like not being able to teleport with items. I found it hideously annoying to not be able to teleport with items.

[@saul94923]

Teleporting with items is fun if you are pve only. Not so much if you are doing pvp tho.

[@TheSometimeAfter]

Set where?

[@vhynndize4548]

@@TheSometimeAfter when you create the server.

[@Tantalus010]

I always do the same on my SP games. The purpose of the item restriction is obvious from a gameplay perspective, but if you stop and think about it, it makes absolutely no sense from an in-lore perspective: a magical, blood-powered teleporter platform can teleport you and your equipment, but not the stuff your equipment is made from. What?

[@angelofrngesus8618]

very late to the party here, but don't ignore fishing for a few more reasons... 1) fish oil can be gained from feeding fish to the devourer (hungry recycle bin chest) and is used later in the game to make pristine leather, which you will need a fair bit of especially if playing with friends. 2) fishing is a good way to get recipes when you're trying to find those floors to reduce material costs or the upgraded armor and weapon plans 3) a few fish (goby, rainbow trout, and sage) are fed to prisoners. why do you care about prisoners? well let me explain, you get the jail cell recipe shortly into the Dunley Farmlands, they cost 12 iron to make but it is quite the worthwhile investment as you can store npcs in them, say npcs with high blood qualities... it can be a challenge to get them in however, requiring you to walk a dominated npc all the way home to a cell, but in doing so this allows you to turn 1 npc into a fountain of blood. you feed prisoners the 3 aforementioned fish to increase their health and decrease their misery. misery making prisoners take more damage when you (and this is the kicker) bottle their blood... yes I said bottle their blood. doing so will take a chunk of their health and increase their misery BUT allow you to turn 1 npc with say 100% quality rogue blood into a theoretically infinite amount of 100% rouge blooded vampires IF the prisoners are taken care of. If you couldn't tell I HIGHLY recommend taking prisoners as soon as you can. I typically grab 1 of each type of blood and keep track of their qualities until I get 100% of each blood type but I also feel I may be in the minority there as it is quite a lot of work and sometimes high quality blood comes at very inopportune times.

[@jopied_]

nice one! will try this for sure! thanks

[@KC-bg1th]

Copper spear while really good for damage is not good for bossing: You will be locked in one place against bosses that are barely ever stationary. The damage you end up being exposed to far outweighs the potential damage you might get in. The sword - unsurprisingly - is an amazing balanced weapon with its special attack allowing you to get multi hits, while remaining mobile. Against harder bosses *_BE PATIENT, AND TAKE IT SLOW_* Don’t fall for the trap of “I’ve done a quarter of his health and he’s only done 1/5th of mine, so I’m good”. Bosses have different phases, which become exponentially more difficult than the start of the fight. Basically, progress throughout the fight isn’t linear.

[@kylem7762]

Was confused how to go back to vampire form from bear form. Just tap the left ctrl button once and it transforms you out of whichever form you’re in.

[@Nikkattsu]

@@HandsomeGamerGuy I think he was using them as HP potions, it was annoying.

[@Lintary]

Big tip I would give if you start specially on PVE servers, look for decaying castles, on PVE servers it is often just a single door to the hearth and destroying them gives you the ability to loot all of the stored loot as it drops. This can give you a huge leg up and save you a lot of farming time. Personally doing this my issue is more so of a castle full of chest than lacking resources.

[@Diemofoxx]

Tried this, didn't work. The drops at the chest were red and I couldn't interact with it.

[@HandsomeGamerGuy]

No right answer to this really! Completely personal preference. I suppose the ideal way might be to have each clan member build a castle in a different region for easy travelling.

[@Bigby1245]

Thank your :)

[@zeekawesomecus917]

The more castles definitely the better. Each castle has their own servant limit. So even if there's a 1 castle heart per player limit, that's 5 servants even at level 2 castle heart for each player. 7 servants per player at level 3 castle hearts. Each castle can also have their own waygate, making it easier to travel around. The only downside to this is the extra resources it costs to build extra castles. Also the extra resources it costs to gear up the extra servants.

Using the appropriate weapon for the resource does not seem to grant additional resource yield per hit on rocks, trees, etc. It will however deal more damage- seems to destroy the resources faster, thus gaining the total resource item's yield in less time. This reveals to us the nature of the mechanics at work. It means that enemies and resources are all *entities* with a health pool, a loot table, and damage multipliers based on damage source. - Could be handy information. It's why enemies can damage opposing factions or environment resource nodes to cause loot drops. You can lure opposing groups together or enemies to resource nodes for early game resource accrual. Perhaps there are other ways this info will prove useful down the road?

An afterthought I have is whether spell or spell type affects certain enemies differently compared to physical or melee damage, indeed if melee and physical are considered different as well.

I'm struggling mid game if got to Dunley and killed the tailor, but I have all the best gear, and i need to get iron stuff, but everything is kicking my ass... im lvl41 (gear score)

[@MrAtomicDuck]

Ah, so you're trying to kill Quincy for the iron gear? He's the one you want. Unlocks iron crafting. If it's the iron mine you're struggling with, you can run past most of the mobs outside to get to the mine. Just be careful of the roaming bosses inside the mine itself! There's also some ore around the edges of the mine on the outside of the mountains if you don't want to risk it.

Use a stone golem as a gaurd for your castle

[@MrAtomicDuck]

I've seen people do this in PvP servers!

How did you get the 3 tails wolf upgrade ?

[@danielsz342]

I have travelled a lot of map yesterday, and get a lot of resources and stuff in my bag, but i need to turn into Wolf and run back to my castle whole map again, because cant use tp with respurces right? Or im doing something wrong? Is there any tip for fast Travel back to Your place? Without dying of course? 😉

[@MrAtomicDuck]

You can use cave passages whilst you're carrying loot! Find the exit closest to your base, then you need to find out which one connects to it!
