So how do "Sketchbook Pages" work?

Are they reusable or single use?

would I be able to transfer them to a new world?
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Man, I can't wait to see how all these new additions change the early world game for foraging and such. We've seen quite a few radical changes lately! Totes excited!

An idea to consider: Tedium, a Feature.

They're a single use item. And unused sketch books left in the hearthfire will transfer to the next world.

Yeah. It's pretty staggering. I've been derping around on a new character the last few days just to check it out. My old place snakes were pretty obvious. The place I spawned in to... blended right in with the terrain. :(

Creedos are going to be early game, but not really early game. The 10k needed to start the first one could be better spent on other things for the first few days to week, though I can see people jumping right on them over buying up some skills. I'm sure there's a trade-off point. (Guess it'll depend on what terrain you spawn near and what kind of curios you can gather up for that first night logged off, or at least how lucky you are with the spiritual quest lottery.)

Not sure about all the other new items. It'll certainly give a lot more variety choice early on.

Please, add more possibilities to the barter stand rather than ugly item on wall :D

What's the point other than to make hermits easy to raid and give an advantage to having a brick wall which most major factions have anyways. How about changing the siege system first???

Credos are the only interesting thing you've added lately from what I can tell and to be honest they aren't anything that makes me excited enough to come back and play. I've always found the quests to be quite boring so I don't really see the appeal in doing hundreds of quests for some minor bonuses.

Last 6 months have been mind blowing with great and incisive updates all around...
For my part you've managed to get me glued to this game like a horny guy to Mila Kunis :lol:
An all around THANK YOU DEVS for a job well done so far!!! :D
