What is the easiest way to get wax?

Post by wildair »

Found a ore vein on the overworld with rust root. I need to build a minehole down but the only thing stopping me is I dont have wax for hardened leather. Is there another way to get to my ore or is minehole the easiest way? How do I get wax the easiest?

Surface minehole leads to same level as cave entrance. You can use nearby cave or search for ore that is close to existing cave tunnel.

Candleberry probably. Or build beeskep and wait.

Candleberry is easiest, but not as common as beehives, though it takes 10 honeycomb to make 1 beeswax, and bees can be dangerous.

Another option is to go into the cave level and match up the prospect location vs underground tunnels. I've found many veins that way although it's a bit tricky.

Wow, doesn't seem fair that my options as a hermit to make a minehole is to either collect 1000 Candleberries or wait months on end with a farm.

Never traded before, what would be the fairest deal for hardened leather or wax?

I don't know the current prices, but you can post in trading subforum.
People will surely sell you wax when you offer enough in return.

How is it not fair? You literally have the exact same options as any other player, hermit or otherwise. Stop being an entitled idiot and wait for your skeps to produce wax like the rest of us.
