I don't know about you guys, but I see this as an opportunity, Trenix, live with me and I assure you you'll be thrown at every problem and you'll be doing stuff all the time
i'm pretty new at this but i saw what i was reading in here and took note of what people were saying about if i wasn't doing anything i wasn't playing properly. i changed the way i was playing. so far this character i have is the fastest building one i have had, gone the furthest. i haven't had that many in the past couple weeks.
all this advice about constantly keeping busy while studying - yes
this advice about doing things to drain stamina so i can drink water to get hungry to eat food to boost stats - yes
gathering resources and stockpiling when there is nothing else to do - yes
i've been doing all this kinds of shit and my character is working out pretty well for a noob on his own. i'm satisfied with it.
so thanks to all those people who posted some good advice in here. i can't speak for anyone else but i took note of it and applied it. thanks!
Why don't you get yourself 6-7 UA and raid ant nests? Or if you're experienced or smart enough, you can raid ant nests with 1 UA. Don't forget to gather dandelions and cone cows. They are quick to study and they will give you enough LP to get the necessary skills to do more "advanced" activities - Bark boat (requires Boat Building).
