Backtrek watch locations


Recommended Posts

Whenever i Play Wanda I put anchor points to base (2), Ruins, Mac tusks, Archives, Lunar, Pearl, Moon quay,Waterlogged. 

may not put some depending of world gen(in current world have both archives and ruins right next to a cave entrance and triple mac tusk a wormhole away 

Depends a lot where the base is and to what places I go to more often. and the worldgen.
 

Usually the first one is just to come back to base, then I try to find spots that cover areas, that is, if pig king is right next to a swamp for example, I’ll set one in PK but use it to pick reeds as well. Or maybe even if it’s a neutral forest biome that is right inbetween dfly, oasis and some other place I’ll set anchor there so I have the same walking distance to both places.

I set an anchor to each island as I need them, but usually they are not permanent.

For the caves its usually just three places, the AG arena near the graves and lightbulbs area so it doesn’t insta aggro on me and I can also use the place to refill lightbulbs when AG is dead, the atrium and a full pseudo station. I’ve found in the long run that I don’t need any more than those.

Wanda players, where do you have your backtrek watches set to? 

Currently setup at my base:

  • 2 for the center of my base (so I can keep jumping back quickly).
  • MacTusk + BQ (both are near each other)
  • Monkey Island
  • Lunar Island
  • Celestial Portal
  • Pig King
  • Moon Base
  • My Savanaha Biome on the opposite side of the map (sometimes my moon storm is there).
  • Safe spot in the ruins near AG

Need to make the following:

  • To crab king aka my Barnacle farm (once I get that setup)
  • One to FW
  • One to link FW to my 2nd section of the ruins where my APS station is
  • APS to my safe spot near AG
  • One to the Lunar Grotto to farm Moon Glass

Bonus points if you have a designated build for teleporting and want to attach pictures. :D

inhales Base (2 of them), moon, moon quay, cave exit, ruins, AG, fuelweaver gate, BQ, DFly, Mactusks, Reed trap (if I have any), Oasis, Pig King, Moon Base, Celestial Portal, (temporary until I get iri gem and pearl) Archives and Hermit Island

My base has a few spots set up for quick travel, but mostly I have everything go to a main travel hub location.

 

The hub is as far away as possible from my base, and nowhere I want to build at. It has a scaled chest full of watches for going back to my main base, and 3 watches for important places, and 1 watch for all other sports I use. Everywhere I have anything set up at has a watch to take me there, and a watch to take me back to the hub.

 

Some places are also set up to connect to other spots. Like all my walrus camps, or tumbleweed spawns, for quick farming. Farm one, Jump to the next. Or they may have a jump to my Lureplant trash can, or a storage area. 

 

My cave has a smaller single watch system, for everything so far.

Something I like to do is carry an un-anchored watch with me, so whenever I'm simply out and about and want to travel back to base to grab or drop off something, I make an anchor point right where I am, travel to base to take care of business, then I travel right back to where I was and carry on with what I was doing.

This is especially useful in summer if you don't want to set up a base in caves.

Why do you keep it so far from your base? Is it just chests or do you have it decorated?

Been thinking of doing the same. It's a pretty smart idea.

usually my hub has 2 large chests with backtrack+item to indicate the location, so 6 backtracks per chest. I had one for boss arenas and one for other locations (generally pk, pearl, lunar, ruins, mosaic, swamp). And one with a few clocks to base to switch when them I get back. 

when i plat wanda i eventualy split my base over the map: veggie farms in the moon island, beefalo pen in one biome, kitchen in the sea, chests zone in oasis, etc so i end up having tons of places connected by a portals zone

also i have a marks on decidious, BQ, each toad spawner, ruins, atrium, pearl island, etc

I keep it far away because its only job is to teleport me around. So I wanted a pace I would never use for anything else, and that would add the minimum amount of lag to the rest of the world.

It is just scaled chests, on cobblestone, with a scale fence, a lazy deserter, and glow caps. The only things there are purple gems, for Rift Watches, Ageless Watches, lots of Backtrek Watches, and items to mark where they teleport to. I may add some above average trees, but I am concerned  they could make it hard to see. I would add signs, but they do not let you put them close together at all, and seems to bug out often.
