Clearly, the lunar questline is far better-structured than the shadow one. It guides the player through it from the start to the finish pretty naturally except for a couple of steps, and aside from those, it's feasible that you could actually do it from a starting point of zero game knowledge. 

It isnt, and is very not straightforward. Especially since the iridescent staff dropping a gem is an exception, when the green staff's whole downside is that it destroys gems.

Lunar questline is filled with loads of random quests, discoveries, and really niche puzzle pieces. Saying its simpler than fuelweaver is weird. At the end of the day both are impossible blind.

Your meant to learn from other players in game, out of these two, fuelweaver is significantlt easier to explain and do than celestial champion if you have help from other players. Its just four big steps that dont have a million other steps inside them.

it was always so cool having someone who knew what they were doing roll through like a wave on the shore and do something that i did not even know was a thing in a specatacular and impressive fashion just for the pleasure of teaching a newbie

You are right, i didn't remember how prevalent this is while i was writing my comment and its a trait all my sandbox player friends share, being teached before and teaching others later. I'll add it to my comment

And mistakes can be part of the fun, because it's ok to restart, and do better, and because if you do recover from them you feel good.

A catastrophic failure when you made a mistake fighting enemies, ran away, encounter two terrorbeak and manage to kill them, only to be defeated because you forgot to have any way to warm up in winter is not exactly fun on the moment but can be in retrospect, especially if you feel you both managed some stuff well and died because of your errors. And it's also the kind of thing when you do want to do better on next world.

 

I should probably clarify that DST is not ANY Of my friends type of game, no one on my friends list (my own real blood related family included) are truly “into the game” And they are only playing it (or trying to at least…) to try to Help ME do things I struggle to do own my own (such as actually do all the RPG quest lines and kill AFW & CC just so I can unlock “Affinity’s” and play with my characters Affinity locked perks.

Because until I’m actually able to do that: playing in random servers with people who already have Affinities makes me feel like I’m unworthy of even being in the same lobby with them.

“cool this wormwood can use lunar magic to create lunar pets sure wish I could do that…” “Wait Willow can set Bernie on Fire & use Dragonball Kamehameha blasts??” dang… Mine can’t do that…

“Wigfrid can repair her spears with restrained static? How do i obtain Restrained Static?!” Oh wait… I have to activate Moonstorms, Moonstorms requires doing the entire Pearl Questline & then fighting CrabKing with her Pearl Socketed inside for the hardest version of his fight (meanwhile I can’t even beat him on what’s supposed to be the easiest version…)

To cut this short: Klei locked cool character abilities behind bosses I need to actually have friends who are capable of staying alive long enough to reach & defeat, Otherwise… I never get to enjoy any of the Affinity locked Skills.

And that pisses me off so much, that I’m praying Don’t Starve Elsewhere is more enjoyable Solo… so I don’t have to try and beg people who really just aren’t into the game, to help me progress in what used to be… my favorite game of all time.

(it still is, but lately I just gave up on DST & went back to Solo DS or I play single player games so I ain’t gotta “beg” friends to try to help)
