HeatAndRun Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 So well... in recent months some changes have made and Warly, Wormwood were added to DST. Part of their ability requires the "bone shards," where all the problem begins. Single DS has several stable, reasonable ways to obtain bone shards: through hunting fugalisk and break down its bones, in Hamlet, and hammering spoiled dogfish/swordfish corpse, in Shipwrecked. even though bone shards are not renewable in DS RoG, this is not a problem because you can bring more bone shards from other DLC worlds and doesn't require that much shards after making a few important clothes. But DST doesn't have any other way to get more bone shards. The only way to obtain bone shards is repeat self-killing and reviving, which is inefficient and against the basic rule of this game : surviving. This hadn't been a big problem until Warly and Woormwood arrived. But their ability, bramble husk and Bone bouillon(Armor and food - which accompany constant demand for its materials), require a lot of bone shards in order to use them well. You should kill yourself repeatedly to get the ingredients of items which were intended to protect you from enemies or starving. I hope there will be new ways to get more bone shards not from player corpse added in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how much of the Return of Them Content you’ve played but you can get bone shards from hammering the dead and extremely weird looking sea fish monster corpses that are on/around the lunar islands. Its not a renewable bone source.. but I mean yeah least it’s something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapirus Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Bone Shards being dropped from mobs like Hounds (who drop fangs already) and Beefalo would be a nice option for add to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Up Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Shards are also renewable by killing the horned no-eyed deer, and by putting the wrong horn in the Klaus sack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalkas Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Dont forget about tumbleweeds and friendly catcoon. Both have chance for gift you bone shard. Basically in DST we can get shards from - corpses (normal and from lunar island), hound mounds, corpse scraps and from Klaus sack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktor234 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Best ways I see to make Bone Shards renewable: 1. Make your server public and spawn tentacles near the spawn: Players will join, die, and leave. That's considered griefing but it's one of the few reliable ways to gather shards. 2. Gather alot of Spider Glands & Cut Grass, get a friend, swap to Webber/Wigfrid/Wortox (Any character with 160 or more health), and repeat following pattern: Craft a Telltale Heart Kill yourself Let your friend revive you Every Telltale Heart you use will grant you 2 more Bone Shards and refresh the sanity of your allies, but it will also fill your history with alot of dumb deaths. Other ways like Catcoons, Tumbleweed, or No-Eyed Deers work aswell, but the quantity of recieved Bone Shards is that low, it's not worth it farming them that way.

sinisterrkid Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 It's just occurring to me that when we make Bone Bouillon we sometimes use our own bones as food. That's... that's messed up, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernado1 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 In my opinion we can consider it renewable,but all the methods are just too expensive. •Killing yourself demands Life amulets or in a worst case scenario a telltale heart. •Inserting the key in Klaus bag just gives you 1 bone shard,and you have to find the deers,make them hurt themselves in a tree and find the bag first. •Mining bones in the desert and the lunar island it’s an activity that will only gives you a finite number of bones. •Mobs like Catcoon and no-eyed-deer having a loot pool that can drop the item is good but it’s far from effective. •And searching it in tumbleweeds is not a guarantee drop. Just a simple tweak like,having big mobs similar to koalefants,Beefalos, vargs and bosses to drop at least 2 bone shards when using a certain weapon or having random carcasses spawn in the world and when searched they would drop rot,bones and a spoiled meat of some kind.

ShadowDuelist Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I've found reliable ways to keep getting bone shards: In endless worlds you can just die over and over next to the spawn portal, and keep reviving yourself with it. The amount of max health taken has a cap, so you should get yourself killed more than 5 times and it will always take about 3 or 4 booster shots to get to normal again. Its more efficient to do dozens of death sessions before using the booster shots. Wormwood is better at death sessions, since every time you revive, you can use the little hp you come back with, to make at least a living log, before dying again. For non-endless solo worlds the cheapest way to do death sessions are meat effigies. But be ready to gather huge amounts of wood and beard hair though. The fastest way I've found to gather stacks of beard hair is to aggro a shadow splumonkey train , get them stuck in cave ins, and kill all of them at once with catapults. If you play with others its a lot cheaper, as it was told above, just craft tons of telltalehearts and have someone revive you over and over. Overall in non-endless solo worlds, bone shards become a quite expensive material, but renewable nontheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The consensus is it's a terrible farm and none of it all is "cheap" unless the world is in the multi thousand days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSAiswatchingus Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I open my world to public pretty often. Without traps and even actively trying to keep everyone alive, I still have get a pretty steady supply of bone shards coming in from the countless visitor deaths. Just open the door. Other players will do the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beach or entire biome should respawn items after a certain period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you just say Renewable and Lunar Island without referring to Saladmanders? Those guys must reproduce in my opinion, it's terrible that they are limited endangered species that each one killed permanently decreases the population of the species in the world. They should be just like the Volt Goats. Carrats also deserve some love from regrowth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike23Ua Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 The hound mounds don’t have bone shards when you break them? that would be where I would put bone shards if I helped create the game. they’re wild dogs right? Like wolves and what not, Wolves eat people.. and then carry their bones back to their dens to snack on later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
