Relocation methods

Postby wolf1000wolf » Fri Dec 31, 2010 8:38 am

So... the area where my friend and I spawned in is getting kinda overcrowded. Mass rampant deforestation is happening... :x hearth fires are being built beside our claim... :? people are running around naked... :shock: etc etc.

The immediate area isn't that resource great anyways... only thing good is ql20 fishes atm.

So we decided we need to relocate, sooner or later. Issue is.. how? 8-)

Given that we'll be fairly casual players once school semester starts again (few to a couple hours a week?) what method would be best to relocate? From our research, we think our options are:

1) GTFO ASAP -> Use boats and carry vitals, go far away and just start anew.

2) Play a bit more, level up a bit, stuff it into exploration and try to find a good place to settle in. Nice cliffs, caves, terrain, soil, clay, water, whatnot. Then just boat it there. May take a few trips to carry essentials over. At our rate... we can move within 1-2 weeks if we try.

3) Play a lot more. Level up till we have metals, ox carts and then make a grand migration. Probably will take a good month at least.

So.. what do you guys think? The factors we're considering is whether there will be a wipe "soon" and the speed of the move with only two ppl.

There has been a row of new supergrids added in each direction lately. Chances are there might even be some undiscovered mines left in those (cave mines are now ok too, with the building update), so your best bet is to travel to the edges of the world. Not many people have settled there already and you have good chances of locating some good ressources.

Use a wagon, they're not as hard to make as you think. Cow can be tamed easily enough if you know what you're doing.

I currently live on the western edge of the world (like literally 3 mins walk from the western edge). There are 3 unclaimed tin mines in about a 10 minute radius around me.

Cool, I'll attempt to relocate in a week or so then.

But before that... if I want to expand the claim, how do I do that if there's a bunch of random hearth fires directly bordering my claim? No one seems to be spawning there too.. :?

Anyone want to provide muscle power to destroy these random hearths? I can pay in ql10 leather. ;)
