Items to take for a ruins run (or general combat ''expeditions'')


Recommended Posts

I just started Hamlet and im wondering what are good items, food, tools to take with you during a ruins exploration? Or also just a journey away from base where you plan on getting into combat and such. Healing items, food, tools, etc.

A lot of jerky. 

Lamp & a torch just in case. 

Pickaxe, axe, hammer and a shovel

Flint, grass, rocks, gold twigs and wood

Thats usually everything i want to take on a journey

Ant venom.

u don't need those for caves... all the tools u need now in the caves in Hamlet are Shears, Ballpein Hammer, Magnifying glass to check the cracks and Hammer to smash the vases (gunpowder or coconades if you wanna blow up the cracks)

the rest: 

- some food items, preferably 2

- lantern, miner hat if you can or a candle hat with a stack of cork for refuel

- armor (enough logs for a replacement)

- antivenom if you are unsure on how to deal with poison

- some healing items if possible...

Spoiler

on fiirst exploration you will find gold from the statues and most certainly a wishing well (if you drop a gold nugget inside u will recover a big chunk of health) 

- some iron (x10 max)

I did read it... u don't need all tools for exploration, specially if it involves combat. U need the space for the loot and healing items. 

You don’t want to carry too much stuff because you are going to find loot you’ll want to carry back and you need the inventory slots. I sometimes pile the minor items I find in pots, like feathers, by the entrance to clear up slots. You can easily make another trip back to pick them up that way. You’re not going to want to go through all the rooms again looking for stuff you left behind.

I only carry dried meat so it's just one slot for food, the tools can be easly left behind with no regret

I wouldn't recommend wasting flint to a new player.. flint is not as ez to get as in RoG... resources management is kinda important early game

not all gnat mounts give flint... there is a chance to get flint... but its not guaranteed.. anyways... I think we can drop it now

Thanks for all the great replies! I just died again. This time I had my pith hat, and everything nice and going well. Walking stick drying etc. Then a 30+ swarm of beetles killed me while i was trying to find the pig ruins entrance to go to the second island. These things were walking and attacking me. Went through an entire football helmet and I never stopped running. I couldn't stop to use healing foods because of them.

Are there any decent guides to Hamlet out yet? Something with goals to try to reach by certain days or what to prioritize first? That death to those damn beetles frustrating.

use Bug B Gone to deal with insects (check survival tab)

Just spray some of that on the ground and stand on the opposite side to the one where the bugs are. 

 

 

So even if there are 30 chasing after me? I died constantly running and im wondering if i stop to do that i may get stunlocked? Basically the biggest problems ive had are the hanging vines and these packs of rabid beetles that move and attack.

The gas wipes them out in a second after they get close to it. 

You just have to be quick enough to spray it before getting stun locked
