[jordancoles]

Just bringing this thread back since it was lost in the forum switch

So let's get started.

Tip No. 1

>Chip rock
>Right click rock onto the ground to make a stockpile

Grey stone graphic means that it's just a type of stone
Redish-purple stone graphic means that it is a type of ore

Tags: Ore, general use, tip, rock, boulder, stone

Tip No. 2
NO LONGER APPLIES DUE TO COMBAT CHANGES

"Blue" attacks such as "Left Hook" are very effective while fighting ants as they normally defend against yellow, green and sometimes red


Green and blue defenses are the only maneuvers required to defend against ants

An example of an early green defense is Quick Dodge

An example of an early blue defense is Sidestep or Watch its Moves

Tags: Combat, ants, maneuvers

Tip No. 3

Signposts left unattended will decay, stockpiles will not
When planning specific colours for something like a mansion, it is wise to store the materials in stockpiles rather than in the mansion's building sign because of this

Regarding constructions sign posts - these don't decay (like many or all items) on personal claim.

Tip No. 4

It is possible refill your waterskin by carrying a barrel of water overhead and then right clicking the barrel with your waterskin
It is also possible to mine while carrying a barrel over your head

This is useful for mining with a pickaxe in your hands since you cannot also wear a bucket

STEALTH PATCHED OUT

Tip No. 5

Old logs and stumps can be used as general storage early on in the game


Logs can be lifted and moved, and you can also store them in boats to save time instead of making crates on-the-go

Tags: murkwood, storage, early world, noob, tip, space management

Tip No. 6
OUTDATED AND DOES NOT APPLY WITH THE NEW COMBAT CHANGES OF SEPTEMBER 2016

To avoid getting stuck in a situation where you only have attack moves on your hand at any point during combat early on, it is a good idea to set up your deck like this


When starting out, you are only given 5 moves total, and since you can only have 5 moves at a time in your "hand" during combat, this means that you will have 1 of each move up at all times

Tags: Combat, maneuvers, fighting, deck, roll

Tip No. 7

How to hide your shit

Edit: May no longer work, at least for master keys
Tags: Little-known, tip, funny, storage, space management

Tip No. 8

If you use the "lift" command while wearing a shovel on a berry bush you will dig up the bush and carry it overhead
From this point you are able to replant it wherever you would like

Collect bushes that will allow you to eat the berries so that you're able to use them as low-cost variety foods while grinding hunger

Tags: Feasting, gluttony, hunger, FEP, food, berry

Popular bush types:
Blackberry
Dogrose
Sandthorn
Raspberry
Elderberry

Tip No. 9, 10, 11

- Easiest way to block animals in this version is to use branch stockpiles. Just right click branches from your hand onto the ground. (Doesn't work if animal is agro'd as it will either destroy the stickpiles/signposts or path around)
- The plow stamina check only happens when you click, so if you're plowing long lines you can save a lot of energy by plowing at 0% stamina using a single click (no longer works).
- The little arrows next to the roadsign markers indicate where your person will travel past, if you want an uninterrupted road through densely populated terrain make sure those little spots aren't covered with path blocking items.

Tip No. 12

When plowing your farm, put a survey flag on the area you want to farm and activate it, then place your plow near a green dot and plow a small circle around it to plow 4 tiles fast.

Update:

tip #12 is outdated as of patch 'Wolverine Instructions'. stamina drain is 4% /tile plowed and 2% /tile that was already plowed (using a wooden plow)

no longer by pixel :/

Tags: Time saving, efficiency, farming, plowing

Tip No. 13

You can use clover on boars and then right click them with rope. They will follow you but not aggro. Then you can trap them with signs/stockpiles and shoot.
You can do same with auroch, muflon, and even horse. (By riding it to trap)

Tags: Hunting, trapping, archery

Tip No. 14

Carry empty barrel to shallow water and click on water you'll fill the barrel to full

Tags: Time saving, tip, efficiency, barrel

Tip No. 15

When fishing with leeches, the ones on your body (equipment slots) will automatically be taken and used as bait. So you can save inventory space

Tags: Efficiency, fishing, time saving, inventory management, equipment menu

Tip No. 16 *Note that this may be fixed in the future

jorb even shared with us a pro tip on taming: viewtopic.php?f=47&t=42616 (see posts towards end)

Or set yourself to yield as soon as the fight starts.

Tags: Animal taming, workaround

Tip No. 17

Need more str and got a lot of extra morals, place them on a Herblist table and let them dry.

You can also put them inside a cauldron and leave them to boil for per food instead. This is more widely known than the herbalist table style morels.

Tags: Morel, mushroom, strength, str, mining

Tip No. 18

1lp unit decreases from the red bar of your claim every hour (I've checked, when I removed the butterfly thing from my study table). So if you have your red bar half full when you first place your claim which is around 360, you will have 360 real time hours before your claim disappears which is 15 days or just over 2 weeks without worrying about your claim. So rank up your lps max out your attributes and buy dem skills, but don't forget to check your claim after a week or two, so always have some lp left even 10 or more will be just enough.

Tags: personal claim, land ownership, blood and soil

Tip No. 19

Different hunger levels don't just give more FEPs, but lower the FEPs required by giving a higher variety bonus. I've started to explain this here http://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Hunger

Tags: FEP, hunger bonus, feasting, stat gain

Tip No. 20

Regarding permission for claims please keep in mind a little change:
White permission is now a wildcard for everyone, not only the characters which are white in your or the villages kin list.

This affects villages.

Please adjust your permissions accordingly.

Tip No. 21

Studying a death's head chrysalis will result in a moth hatching in your study window

Edit: If you kill the death's head chrysalis first, you will be able to complete the study
Tags: silk, worms, cocoons,silkfarm, chrysalis

Tip No. 22

You can press ctrl + hotkey in combat to discard a move and draw a new one.

No longer applies with the new combat system
Tags: advice from the gods, client commands, combat

Tip No. 23

You can have multiple claims at the same time. They each make you hold a claim bond however so it's a bad idea later in the game to have too many claims on your main if you intend to keep authority up on all of them.

Tags: Claim, personal claims, land ownership

Tip No. 24

It's possible to open two adjacent cupboards simultaneously when standing in the middle

Actually you can open up to three cupboards at the same time. You might be able to open six if they're positioned just right. You can also open more than one stock pile, tanning tub, and drying rack too.

You can also fish from an opened container or multiple opened containers.

Tags: cupboard, containers

Tip No. 25

You can fully block a badgers attack when you have 45 UA with a single defence move, 30+ agility should be aquired before trying if you arent confident you can do with less. Can also be done with less depending on how much armor you have on, more armor = less UA needed to not take damage/armor tearing. A fox is slightly easier so i'd guess that 40 UA would be fine for those. Foxes run very early so either fight on grasslands where you can sprint or fight while on horseback. Killing badgers can give you agility/con food + hides for badger vest, which gives armor while being wearable under an actual armor item and +2 agility.

Tip No. 26

if you butt right up to an animal and click on it with clover you (usually) feed it instantly

Tags: clover, mouflon, auroch, horse

Tip No. 27

wagons can now go through single gates

Tags: Huzzah

Tip No. 28

You don't have to dismount to forage while riding a horse. I may or may not have dismounted/remounted approximately 100 times before figuring this out.

Tags: derp, horse, pony, pick, forage, foraging, riding

Tip No. 29

Tip for miners, or anyone with miner friends.

Save every rat, perch and morel you find. These 3 things make some of the most energy efficient food in the game, especially early on when quality is low.

Rats make Rat on a Stick (rat + stick), 450% energy for 2% hunger.
Perch makes Perched Perch (perch + carrot + onion + stick), 400% energy for 1.75% hunger.
Morels can be dried on a herbalist table, 200% energy for 1% hunger.

Roasted grasshoppers are another form of early-world energy food

Tags: energy, hunger management, food, mining

Tip No. 30

if you sit at a table and click the "feast" button, you can use the fork image on food items in your inventory, they'll get consumed

Tags: feasting, FEP, hunger, food, table

Tip No. 31

Begin riding a horse and pick up a boat with 2 chests/coffers inside, out to gather spots (like clay node for ex.) and hearthfire back

Tags: travel, transport, storage, horse

Tip No. 32

Found that one extra item you want to take with you but your bag is full?

Use your mouse courser as an extra bag slot by right clicking the last item hearth home and when you get there the item will still be attached to your mouse.

Note: your Travel to hearth fire must be used via your hotbar

Tags: travel, space management, workaround

Tip No. 33

You can boil mussels through a container and your inventory at the same time

This is actually true of any crafting, and can be combined with the above tip of having as many containers open at once as long as you don't have to move... sausage making comes to mind here, baking, etc.

Tags: Cooking, pearls, mussels, cauldron

Tip No. 34

Your toon will automatically use stockpile resources if they are next to whatever you are building.

Tags: building, stockpiles, efficiency

Tip No. 35

Shiftclicked that backpack or traveller's sack and lost it to the invisible inventory? Scroll wheel your inventory into a cupboard to retrieve them!

Tags: tsack, lost item, recovery, workaround

Tip No. 36

"Unlimited" coal from cellar

Note: It is possible to get various stone types from digging boulders out of a house cellar

Tags: mining, coal, stone, ore, cellar

Tip No. 37

Just like mining while lifting a barrel, it is possible to engage in combat while having dead animals lifted.

Edit: YOU CAN ENGAGE THE ANIMAL BUT YOU CAN NOT FIGHT BACK WHILE CARRYING AN ITEM
Tags: Combat, hunting

Tip No. 38

The Tall, thin, brown, pine trees give pretty good tar amounts (very common in forest and grass). Way more than maple and mirkwood give.

Tags: tarkiln, tar

Tip No. 39

If you build a gate and destroy the corner posts on pole fence you still have an operating gate.

Tags: building, gates

Tip No. 40

You can right click a campfire with a stick to almost instantly make a firebrand from it without having to spend an eternity making one from scratch. Could be useful for lighting multiple things next to each other or collect ash very quickly.

Doesn't work so well for lighting other things as they tend to burn out too fast to get the next spot lit. At least that's been my experience.

I'd allow for a setup where you could just turn around to light another object.

Tags: fire, torch, firebrand

Tip No. 41

You can refill a torch by hold-clicking over a source of tar (bucket, barrel or filled tar-kiln).
The torch can be lit at any open fire, you can carry the lit torch around and light other stuff with it.

Tags: torch, fire, tar

Tip No. 42

Do not used Feigned Dodge or Parry against a boar; Because they have abilities that deal damage back to the boar, if it has tusk romp active then you'll be damaged by that romp.

Tags: Combat, boar, tusk romp

Tip No. 43

You can wear nettle shirt and nettle pants in their slots as well as in their corresponding armor slots:

Tags: survival, unarmed combat, early game, equipment, nettle shirt, nettle pants

Tip No. 44

Seems like trees grow easily twice as fast in the "forest" biome that spawns around them as they grow.

So if you're a hermit, you should plant your tree-farm area with shitty-q trees as soon as you get an herbalist table up, let those trees do their thing, and you'll hopefully have a few spots of forest biome by the time you've got better pots/herbalist table/soil/water.

You can just chop down the bad trees when they get in the way.

Tags: forestry, lumberjacking, forest biome

Tip No. 45

After you harvest the barley field and you are left with all those straws lying on the ground, holding SHIFT while RIGHT-CLICKing on one will make your toon gather them all by himself. I used to harvest all one by one, click by click untill i discovered this.

Tags: Quality of life, tip, client command

Tip No. 46

This is especially useful when making ropes. Build a large chest near your rope walk, fill 60% of it with dried skins, use rope walk, open the chest. Then mass-produce strings from skins, then mass produce ropes from strings.

Tags: ropewalk, rope, mass crafting, bulk

Tip No. 47

you can wear 2 ashes robes that give you both INT

Edit: Most gear items no longer give stats on their own and must be gilded/slotted with stat-boosting items. You can still wear two robes, however.
Tags: intelligence, stat gain, study

Tip No. 48

Chopping up Old Stumps give Mirkwood Blocks. Good for if you want some Mirkwood Offerings but can't find any Hollow Logs.

Tags: curios, mirkwood, logs, blocks

Tip No. 49

Not super useful, and maybe people already know, but you don't actually need 5 barley seeds to create flour. You can use as few as you want and it creates the proportional amount of flour, so if you wind up with those random stacks of 1-4 seeds now and again you can still use them.

Tags: Baking, flour, barley, quern

Tip No. 50

Seems bushes grow much faster than trees. If you want high ql blocks quickly for tools, plant bushes and chop them.

Tags: forestry, blocks, logs, planting

Tip No. 51

You can use the Raw Wild Beef you get from cows in a chicken coop, and then use a bucket to remove the product of it called "Swill" and put it in your cattle-trough. If anyone is struggling to feed their animals or want to get rid of the wild beef.

Tags: fodder, feed, domestic animals, beef

Tip No. 52

You can transfer items from a container to a stockpile, as long as you have access to both of its windows.

Tags: storage, efficiency, quality of life

Tip No. 53

Using a Clay Cauldron can be a real pain in the butt, as you have to wait 7 minutes for it to actually boil (be usable). As it warms up it also consumes both the water and fuel, which can be very wasteful if you have a limited supply of good water. It actually does not require any water to be present to "warm up", however. You can start the fire under it and let it burn a while, and then add the water only as you are going to actually craft with it. When you add the water it will instantly boil (assuming the warm up time has passed). Then, when you are done crafting, you can use a bucket to remove the remaining water and keep the fire burning if you wish or simply lift the cauldron to extinguish the fire.

Tags: cauldron, early world, boil, fuel

Tip No. 54

Didn't see this one in the thread but I bet most people have figured it out already.

You can left click>right click seeds together and they will combine.

Tags: farming, seeds, quality

Tip No. 55

You can spin around in your chair with the rowdy emote

If you want to turn your chair you can use Rowdy dance emote while sitting in it to turn it without lifting.

Edit: NO LONGER WORKS (Patched)
Tags: fun, aesthetic

Tip No. 56

Little tip I just found out. You can click directly on the mini map to interact. For example, if you want to catch a grub, you right click it on the mini map and your character will go to it. If you click on a berry bush, same thing, you right click it click on pick and your character will go to it.

Tags: quality of life, client feature, foraging, interaction

Tip No. 57

Surveys are limited to 5 per day, but can be stored or shared. If you use alts, have each place all their surveys each day. Then you can pull from the survey bank when a character needs more than 5. Flags disappear after 3 days, so they need to be moved or restocked frequently.

Tags: building, landscaping, surveys

Tip No. 58

this tip brought to you by Rawrz: if you build a road going over a deep river it can be teleported along fine as long as the person has swimming on.

Tags: swimming, travel, crossroads, roads

Tip No. 59

You can place all similar items into a stockpile by Shift+right clicking the object onto the stockpile.
I remember reading other shift right click tips, but I don't recall seeing this.

Tags: Land management, leveling, teraforming

Tip No. 64

If you fill a barrel of tanning fluid, you can then lift the barrel, then fill the tanning tubs directly from the barrel by right clicking the tub.

tags: tanning, leather working, tanning fluid, barrel

Tip No. 65

You can continually harvest things like wool, hairs and milk from wild animals by giving them a new clover every 6 minutes

Do not have them leashed or tied to a post, just let them roam freely inside of a stick fence, or whatever

Wow, nice tip.

How do animals despawn?

Yes, so keep an alt handy on screen when you're looking for rams

I just get a ton of clovers together and like 3 rams into a pen and harvest their wool, turn it into yarn and then cloth

Tags: material gathering, clover, taming, early world, gauze, wool,

Tip No. 66

You can use dried squirrel tails to make poultices (it counts as hide while crafting).

Usually you can also get higher quality squirrels by killing them in combat rather than just picking them up.

Made my waterskins with them also

Tags: Crafting

Tip No. 67

You can use a wheelbarrow and a cart at the same time

Tip No. 68

to go with wearing two sets of nettle gear, you can also wear 2 ashen robes for double int

edit: believe it works with lawspeaker robes and merchant robes (you dont get double inventory increase though)

Edit: Newly crafted, ungilded clothing no longer gives stat bonuses
Tags: Equipment, attributes, intelligence

Tip No. 69

Control + right click on a personal claim lets you memorize a pclaim owner
The command also works for memorizing people's hearthfires and it can be done at any distance

Tags: personal claims, memorization

Tip No. 70

This is probably well known, but I'll post it anyways.
If you're hunting from a boat and having a hard time getting animals to sit still you can use the attack button to agro them, so that you can line up a shot with your bow.

Tags: boat hunting ranged marksmanship

Tip No. 71

Find a nice long bit of shallow water and lure an animal to one end of it, preferable the end that makes it you have the maximum space possible between your end, and the other. Get all defenses up and attack until it has no defenses up. Attack until it flees. Since it's in shallow water, you can boat up to it and continually attack it until it dies. I killed my first badger this way. You can also use this technique to easily earn moves. I got artful evasion and steal thunder along with some moves i already had just from trying to kill the animal.

Tags: hunting, boating

Tip No. 72

For you scrubs out there, I'm sure you know you can feed animals using seeds.
Now, what's good for seeds? Carrots!
You harvest carrots during the seeding stage, put 1000 seeds in a bucket and empty the bucket into whatever the heck Coops or Troughs for 200 units of fodder.

I should also add that you can trough nearly any foragable such as berries, chantrelles, etc.

Tags: feeding animals, domestic animals

Tip No. 73

i don't see that ash can be piled up in the tips...this saves a LOT of space.

Ash is a "liquid" object like flour and seeds. Yes, you can stack it up to a certain size and split it. The quality averages out over the stack. Ash can be stockpiled and stored in both barrels and buckets.

Tags: storage, space management

Tip No. 74

Not sure if this is a new one since the latest update but here it goes.
If others quests have the same requirement for example "catch a big fish" then all quests with that requirement will be marked in green as done.
Therefore it saves you from worrying that you need to "catch a big fish" independently for every quest.
I thought it might be helpful for those who are doing multiple quests.

Tags: Questing

Tip No. 75

if you're using a client with the cursor item slot you can put a scent there and then pick up another of the same one

Useless fact (or is it ): It is possible to bring back a max of 4 identical scents. 2 in containers placed in your boat, 1 on your cursor and 1 in your inventory

Tip No. 76

This one is obvious and probably well known, but what the hell.

While foraging with low stats, make 2 sets of clothes. SET 1 for perception + exploration, SET 2 for survival.
On low levels, without even having leather discovered, you can have 6 glideable pieces of gear equipped: nettle hat, 2 x nettle shirt, 2 x nettle pants, clogs.

Start with SET 1. Once you've spotted a forageable object on the map, start making your way towards it while changing to SET 2.
Perception*Exploration drops, but forageables stay, your survival hard cap goes up. Profit. (You will have to sacrifice some inventory slots, but instant boost in quality just might be worth it)

Tip No. 77/78

Hunting/foraging with disposable characters (I will call them slaves here).
Again, most of it is obvious but new players might find it useful maybe.

Multiple stages of tryharding.

Stage 1.
Looks like early in the game guests give significant LP boost, very often you will have to park your boat and walk quite a lot to a quest objective. Jump on a boat, sit your slave in the passenger seat. Load 2 crates. While sailing to your objective, load crates and both your and slave's inventory with crap you find on your way. Park, walk to your objective. If you can't be bothered to walk back to your boat, your slave can TP with the boat.

Stage 2.
Same as stage 1, but give your slave a cupboard as well. You'll have to either go back to your boat or slave will have to sail back alone.

Stage 3.
Hunting with 1 slave and 4 boats. I find this to be the most effective way to hunt and this was actually the reason I've decided to write this down.
Load slave's inventory with branches/blocks. Sit in separate boats, carry one extra each. You'll have to switch between windows a lot. Find an animal, drop extra boats, aggro with main, bring an animal to a good spot on a shore. Slave traps an animal with 2 boats. If it's an aggressive animal, make sure slave doesn't stay in neither of the trapping boats, otherwise you might lose both slave and a boat. This is easy to pull off since slave has three boats at his disposal.
This way you can take home 8 dead animals (2 in each boat) and it doesn't take much time/effort at all.

Next one is a slave abuse and should be illegal
Stage 4.
Stage 3 + one or two extra slaves, sit them in passenger seats, let them carry a cupboard or yet another boat each. (it seems like you can only put an empty cupboard in the boat).
It's too much of a hassle for me, but hey, some of you guys might be this crazy.

Tip No. 79

Don't know if this has been posted:

When you come across a decayed claim and you see some cupboards usually that were obviously in a house at some point, it means they were in a house when the house decayed. Sometimes, when a house has a basement or attic, and 2 cupboards on top of each other when the house decays (one in the attic in the same spot on one on the main floor below) they will overlap on top of each other on the same tile. If you lift one cupboard, it will unveil the hidden one underneath it and usually will have some items people haven't noticed yet.

UPDATE: MORE TIPS ADDED JANUARY 13, 2018

Tip No. 80

Added "Packrack", A Bull or Cow equipped with a Packrack may carry two objects, and 5x5 items.

Put packs on a cow's back and put 2 barrels in it then when you milk them, you take out a barrel, fill it by right clicking on the cow and then put it back in the pack
Repeat until full

Tags: Storage, mining, quality of life

Tip No. 81

You can boil mussels and light cauldrons while sitting in your boat. You can also remove the cauldron from your boat and place it on to land while driving it.

When boiling mussels from your boat you get a funny animation as well

Tip No. 82

A full compost bin produces 100 mulch.

Tags: Farming, crafting, treeplanting

Tip No. 83

I found a cool thing today: if barley seeds are placed onto a herbalist table, they sprout (this is known for beer) and sprouted seeds could be planted as well. When they are sprouted, only 4 seeds are required instead of 5. In addition its q goes towards the herbalist table q so in some cases q could be bousted very nicely.

Probably, everyone knows that, off course, but I don't see this information in wiki.

potted Stalagoom (and i can only assume other mushrooms, i havent checked yet) grow faster in caves compared to outdoors. i don't think cabins make a difference for either plants or mushrooms

You can chop trees while in a wagon or a boat if you position yourself properly

Tags: Woodcutting, fun, pro tip

Tip No. 88:

I wouldnt really consider this a protip, but its interesting info and maybe someone can use it:

I dont know why it works, but if you're trying to spread a biome type, terraforming one tile(i use stomp dirt on a dirt tile) will occasionally cause biomes to spread. you cant do it more than once in a row without waiting several hours/ a day, but it might speed things up if you're consistent with it

Biome spreading with dirt tiles is decay based, not leaving the area (and never logging off) helps - sadly.

Tags: biomes, terraforming

Tip No. 89:

You can right click a 2*2 piece of dried hide and split it into 4 1x1 pieces

This works for making things like Still Life curios, because each scrap counts as 1 hide

To go one step further, just crafting such an item while having a hide bigger than 1x1 in your inventory used for something that needs only one piece of hide will cause it. It's been the source of a few questions over time. Can't use the scraps for leather at this point in time, though.

Tip No. 90:

Even fair fight with troll might lead to potentially lethal cavein.
Always use high quality mining helmet when near trolls.
It should protect you from 1 cavein.

Build the 2 corner post.
build the sign for the door. knock down the corner post.
build sign.
Build house door for close as you can to have locked door.

Tip No. 93:

hold a stone and (shift + right click) to stomp 4 tiles instantly

it will consume the stone, but you save the plowing energy and it works on those terrains you can't stomp right away

Works also with soil (and everything you can level with), but changes elevation.

Tags: terraforming, terrain

Tip No. 94:

To fill cupboards for silking:

When picking leaves, put them in a stockpile. Then put the stockpile in a wheelbarrow and carry it over your head to bring it inside.
To fill the cupboards, first put 12 silkworms in each cupboard. Then push the full wheelbarrow around and rightclick the cupboards.

You can [store your full study tables in claimed leantos] to protect your curios early world.
Taking from another person's leanto is an act of theft and destroying a claimed leanto is vandalism.

Tip No. 103:

You can place two cornerposts directly next to one another by using an intermediary cornerpost from a 3-tile wide gate.

Tip No. 104:

Always carry a clover or two with you while question, because sooner or later you're going to have to carry your boat of an annoying amount of land, or decide between that or leaving it behind. Much quicker process if you can find a horse close by to carry your shit at speed.

I always keep a clover on me for horse purposes. Always. They're just too efficient to pass up.

I'm sure it's in this thread already, but it's good to remember that you can budge right up against them and then use the clover to speed up the process a bit.

Tip No. 105:
You can give some wild animals clovers for perks. Wild sheep will let you sheer their wool and using a bucket on them will milk them (needs confirmation), cows can be milked and horses can be ridden. Giving these animals clovers is also the first step of the taming process.

Tip No. 106

Some early world tips:

So you have a cliff in your village and it's nothing but a pita? Wrong. Make that eyesore useful

Outdoor mini-cupboards that take no space and won't decay. And when you are more advanced, your storage becomes your mirkwood curio supply.



Logs logs everywhere cause we need fucktons for mansions and all kinds of early game shit. Except they take so much space even when packed neatly. Cliff them and if you're not as lazy as I am you can do it tidy and fit more:



You catch my drift by now. works great for boats too as well as your village's curio desks which you can comfortably access from the bottom or the top of the cliff to stock and manage.

Tip No. 107:

Hunt for small game (squirrels, hedgehogs, rabbits) from horseback, by running them over.

Roadkill obtained this way is not capped by your survival (until the skinning, cleaning and butchering, which consequently caps the products). This is useful for gaining a little guality bump on some useful early materials.

Tip No. 108:

The fact that cavedust drops .01-.08 kg of dust depending on how many of the 8 tiles around it will collapse (which usually means 1g or maybe 2) makes predicting the exact location of the bad tiles a whole lot easier, in case you didn't know

Tip No. 109:

If you haven't noticed, there's an icon of two crossed swords by the target picture top right corner. Click it to change your stance from aggressive to peaceful. When an animal flees, it changes it's stance to peaceful. If both are at peaceful, the combat breaks immediately. This applies to players, too, of course.

Tip No. 110:

A tip for finding nice things with fishing and collecting beach trash: If you know of a large siege or battle that's either happening right now or in the last day or so, go fishing and collecting beach trash. A lot of loot gets dropped in the water during sieges, either by the attackers not being able to carry any more stuff or by the people being attacked not wanting to let the attackers have any of their gear. In world nine I got a q118 bear cape and a q130 straw hat when I was a still a sprucecap this way.

Edit: Beach trash and fished items are part of a global item pool comprised of all items that have been dropped in the water across the entire map

Tip No. 111:

Not sure if this is general knowledge or not but here goes anyways. You can tell if a tree has stunted without waiting and watching it by inspecting it, if it tells you the quality and its not done growing than guess what? its done growing.

Tip No. 112:

If you're using Amber client you can hold shift + alt and then right click a food item on a trough or chicken coop to autotrough it all

Works with all objects that accept right-clicked items, makes it easy to refuel steel crucibles with sticks without the danger of removing the steel in the making.

Top No. 2
No longer applies in new combat

"Blue" attacks such as "Left Hook" are very effective while fighting ants as they normally defend against yellow, green and sometimes red


Green and blue defenses are the only maneuvers required to defend against ants

An example of an early green defense is Quick Dodge

An example of an early blue defense is Sidestep or Watch its Moves

Tip No. 3

Signposts left unattended will decay, stockpiles will not
When planning specific colours for something like a mansion, it is wise to store the materials in stockpiles rather than in the mansion's building sign because of this

[jordancoles]

Tip No. 4

It is possible refill your waterskin by carrying a barrel of water overhead and then right clicking the barrel with your waterskin
It is also possible to mine while carrying a barrel over your head

This is useful for mining with a pickaxe in your hands since you cannot also wear a bucket

[jordancoles]

Tip No. 5

Old logs and stumps can be used as general storage early on in the game


Logs can be lifted and moved, and you can also store them in boats to save time instead of making crates on-the-go

[jordancoles]

Tip No. 6

To avoid getting stuck in a situation where you only have attack moves on your hand at any point during combat early on, it is a good idea to set up your deck like this


When starting out, you are only given 5 moves total, and since you can only have 5 moves at a time in your "hand" during combat, this means that you will have 1 of each move up at all times

Tip No. 7

How to hide your shit

Awesome!! howver, can that be seen from the back, or does the cupboard clip it? Would it still be hidden if someone implements short/flat cupboards?

Just saying it may be safe from now, but may not stay that way (and not even figuring in private mods and clients).
