New Scales Farm Idea!

[Kolascay]

This guide turns napsacks into scales. Basically at a 1 Napsack = 1 Scale ratio.

How is it done?

Well basically, DST Dragonfly has a special bit of code that allows them to drop scales before they die, if the player causes enough damage in a short ammount of time. 

To start, kill off the misery toadstool. The fight will be pretty hard, but with enough followers, it IS possible. How to get misery toadstool? Find a big purple mushroom in the caves. Set up a small outpost there. Add birbcage. Insert caught canary into birbcage. Wait ~1-2 days. The bird will flop down and start wiggling randomly. Take it out. It should be volatile now. Now... let the poor birdie out of it's misery and drop it next to the purple mushroom. After that, cut it down. BOOM HE SPAWNZ!

Next step: Kill it.

Next step: Catch some more canaries. After that, make some napsacks. As many as you can make with the skin edgy toad dropped.

Next step: Go over to the Dragonfly Desert.

Next step: Find the dragonfly setpiece, and begin building a small enclosure to fit a few followers in.

Next step: Fill it with pigs or bunnymen. Your choice. (If playing Wigfrid I would reccomend the pigs for obvious reasons)

Next step: Aggro the D-fly. Lead her to the enclosure. 

Next step: YOU MUST BE QUICK! Throw the sack. Now, quickly pull out a dark sword and hold that attack button!!! (Keep attacking even when it wears off, you'll have time to attack her while she wakes)

Next step: Quickly lead the fly out of the arena, so she respawns away from the followers. This way, the followers are unharmed, and the farm can be used *theoretically* indefinitely as long as more toadstools can be found. 

Whoo-wee!

Can't you do the same thing without the napsack?

You'll just need a few more bunnymen to bring up the dps.

By the way, you'll want to use bunnymen over pigmen. They have significantly higher dps since they don't kite like pigs do.

I love how hard people are trying to find a use for the napsack.

This isn't new though. It always existed, the napsack still isn't really any better.

I admit I didn't think of this.

Though, the napsack itself is still underwhelming as a sleep option, it now has a use: the duplication of toadie's scales. Kinda like the scaled flooring of DFly scales craftables.

Now the real question is, will Klei change this in any way? And can I blame you for any change on it?

Now we're getting onto something.

seriously i was trying to find some way at all to get napsack sleep power to work

[thistownneedsguns]

maybe make a vid.

wait, how do you duplicate it when it requires just one of each item??

[Rellimarual]

Napsack recipe calls for one toad skin but makes 3 (4?) napsacks, each of which can be deconstructed to get a skin.

For deconstruction, I think it attempts to give a fraction of each component based on the number given on crafting, but any resulting fractions are rounded up. Similar thing happens with construction.
