Windblade? Is that a weapon for people with no metal?

Does wind just appear in the wind chimes?


Edit: Or is it like butterflies?

It says they appear on heath land, the pretty purple land, so I'm guessing they're like butterflies. Though I haven't seen any, and my camp is right next to heath.

It's pretty much like butterflies. They travel just a little faster then sprint speed (or maybe just up to sprint speed) in a direct east direction, despawning when they hit the end of the heath. They seem to respawn at random point on the western edge once they despawn, though I can't confirm that 100%.

Worth noting that the wind direction changes every so often.

Oh! That's good to know!

EDIT: I had two winds inside of my windchime and when I checked on them 15 minutes or so later, one was missing! And the other was still Q10. :shock:

flexible recipes are cool

Why does the new dex food give half dex half con? I don't think there are any other stats (well maybe psyche, haven't tested yet) that are so impossible to gain with. The hilarious thing is most people have con as a high stat, so the more you eat the dex onion mushroom thing the more you may need to eat to level dex.
