What is my next move?

[Ferocious87]

I've been playing for some time now and have been trying to do everything myself. Now it actually goes pretty well. I have my own land, grow crops, bake food, build stuff etc.

But now I don't know what to do next. I can't provide in leather, as I have never fought an animal. No idea how I start becoming a leatherhunter...
I can't mine, because I can't find the rustroot and will never be able to have perc. x explo. =500. So I can't make metals...
Animal husbandry doesn't work because I do not have all the things I need to quell.

So really I don't know what to do here. I've god 8000points to spend. What is the best thing to do? Grow my stats, buy skills, increase my land... ?

The best way to get leather early on is to hunt rabbits. to raise your perc*exp, eat carrots for now, and raise your exploration with your lp. That way you can see more food to forage etc, and judging from what you say in your post, you dont have the skills yet to tame an animal properly, I'd wait before you do that

[Ferocious87]

I do hunt rabbits. But their fur can not be used to produce leather products. So basically I can't craft any leather stuff.

And I do have "animal husbandry", but I think you're right I probably don't have all the other skills and stuff necessary.

I don't know what to do.

It definitely can be!

Ah, you have misunderstood something that you've read

Dry out the rabbits fur or a drying rack, Then, if you have the leather working skill, make and fill a tanning tub, and put the rabbit fur inside, wait 8 hours, or use the bug* and presto, you have leather.

You should also note that in craft/build recipes requireing a "dried hide" a dry rabbits fur will also work, eg. in a straw bed


bug* you place the full tanning tub, with hide/fur inside it, into a container, like a boat, or a cart. Then take it back out and the % timer will have moved to 92%, even if you ahve it at 99% so Dont reset your clock


Hope that helps

Alright haha what an idiot I am.

I really didn't know... Man that's stupid. Thank you very much.

So I will be able to make leather now. Great!

Any other tips for me?

[ninja_yodeler]

Well number one. Dont call yourself stupid around me, among a few friends i've been voted most probably the stupidest person in the game

It takes a while to pick up all the tricks and tips of the game, so dont get frustrated if you cant do something.
Meet people, talk to them, make friends get allies, but be cautious around people you dont trust with your lives, because unless they've proven otherwise, they will most likely end it

Once you become established, either find some people to live with you, begin a village. Or find a village to live with yourself. It provides great experience.

But probably the best tip. Don't be angry if you die, there is nothing you can do, and you would then now what to avoid, and think about how to avoid it. Live and learn.

Enjoy

There is so much you can do. You're only at the tip of the iceberg, so to speak.

1. You are farming and I'm assuming you're also gathering curios. Keep doing this until you can raise your Marksmanship to around 40. The higher the better. Once you have a good amount of Marksmanship try and get a good Sling and head to the nearest Heathland or Grassland where Auroch or Mouflon spawn. When you find a herd of them, surround the closest boulder you can find with construction signposts with you inside it. Initiate combat with the herd and start killing them one by one with your Sling using the rocks from the boulder. It should go fairly quickly the higher your Marksmanship. This is a great way to gather plenty of hides for leather.

2. You don't need Rustroot to find metal. Find a cave and mine the walls in several spots to check for ore. Just don't mine too much without a support otherwise you can cause a cave-in and kill yourself.

3. The easiest animal to tame (in my opinion) is a boar. Just walk along the river until you find one and you can just get in the water and start the taming process. I'd post you a link to the thread that explains the taming process and how to do it step by step but I don't want to.

It isn't hard to do all of these things by yourself, it just takes time, and to me it is more rewarding.

I've read about the taming process. I just can't do it. I'm not good enough. Now that I know rabbit fur is also leather, I can amuse myself with that. I'll keep the hunting techniques in mind. I don't know anything about that and will have to learn some day.

Twitch hunt from a boat using a slingvery easy to do.
