Hey all! New players here!

Postby sting_auer » Tue Jun 21, 2011 5:22 am

My brother (Zeig) and I starting playing this game today. So far, we are having some trouble with it. We have a lot of difficulty finding food, and have both already died once.

I have checked the wiki, but I have trouble learning gameplay from wiki's.


We have found rabbits before, but we can never seem to catch them, and they are incredibly rare for us. In a few hours of playing we only found 3 rabbits total.


Also, we are having a hard time finding any wild plants. All we can find so far are spindly taproots, and very rarely. I read on the wiki that there are blueberries, but we can never seem to find them anywhere.


Anybody got some tips for us?

If you study curiosities (2nd tab on the Character Sheet) you'll earn LP.

If you spend LP on the Exploration stat you can find more wild plants.

If you build a boat you can cover more ground while searching for them.

Okay, so to make a boat - if I read the wiki correctly - I need lumberjacking and carpentry?


But to start carpentry, wouldn't I need to hunt to make a bone saw? I have so much trouble catching anything.



Any tips for hunting?

Lumberjacking, Carpentry, and Boat Building

I don't really know how to help you find more rabbits =/ If you found 3 already why didn't you use the 1st one to make a saw?

Stand right over the bunny and keep run on. Then right click the bunny. Look for grasslands or grass. Grasslands r purple spots on map or yellow spots. There you can find chickens. They are easier to catch but just stand over them and make sure you have the inv space for them.
Certainly, in taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over, he is superior; for it is a prince’s part to pardon. - A wise friend.

actually if you start chasing a rabbit from far away and immediately hit the peace button, the rabbit will stop running and you can continue to walk towards it and pick it up :3
tho if you hit a tree in the way then you've got to start over >_>
loftar: New hair styles? Really? Seeing how Jorb never gets off his lazy ass to draw some, I almost want to add them to the game proper.
