Cracked Auroch Skull

Post by btaylor »

It is an item that you can obtain from killing Auroch. I have multiple ideas for its use so I will number them.

1. It's made of bone, so it can be used in place of any item that requires a bone.

2. Add it as a requirement in making a personal claim/village claim.

3. It can be studied as a curiosity.

4. It can be worn as a helmet and it provides a bonus to survival. The graphic could be like the Druid's Helmet in which it covers the entire head.

Definitely +1 to 1 and 4.
Skeptical about 2, not so sure about 3.

Noooohoo, this would make claims very difficult for new players to get, especially if you have bad luck and dont happen on a herd of aurochs.

That could be a good thing though.

Well, it would at least slow down the process of spamming claim alts to claim HQ resource nodes. :)

2. Is not a good idea. It's difficult enough to defend what little you own as it is. (He said with a palisade the size of a small city)
How do you suggest a new hearthling would even aquire one?

true. but im still against it.
no need to make staking claim any harder than now for new players.
finding a herd of aurochs relies on luck too much, you dont always spawn near grassland.

imo the issue with alt pclaims should be dealt differently.
if main can find aurochs, there is NO reason alts cannot. this would only make new players suffer harder.
