Retribution Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hey, welcome! My first run ended in death by darkness on the first day because I didn't notice the crafting menu, so six days isn't half bad, in my book.What killed you?

Opula Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Apparently six days is some kind of wall for me. I was doing much better this time, but I dug up the wrong grave...ghosts hurt.

the truthseeker Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Welcome new players and Opula! First off 6 days is AMAZING for your first game. That wall you speak of is normal, and expect it to take you some time to get past it. Ghosts don't hurt when you are wood-armored and have a Weapon like say, a spear...but you need to be able to craft regularly. Since you dug up a grave (and have a shovel,) this advice is more likely for other readers now, but it's good for you to remember when starting new games too: My advice is to find first gold and stone to work on a "Science machine" and fire pit (and that's all I'll say.) How and where is up to you (as well as where you place them) for now. if you are still stuck after 3 days of game play, let us know and we'll give you (and others who ask nicely here ) some more hints.

the truthseeker Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Stopped counting after 300+. Might make and keep a game just to see if I can see how long long can be. Terminal boredom eventually is a thing and we only have four save slots, and one would have to be permanently saved for this endeavor.

the truthseeker Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I thought ghosts hit right through your armor? Besides you can just run away, not worth killing them since they don't drop anything.Technically, anything "gets through" armor, the percentage that gets through being linked to the percentage resisted from the armoring (grass, wood, marble, Pig Helmet, whether you stack armors, etc.) you are wearing.But no, ghosts do not bypass armor (nor do you need "Shadow Weapons and Armor" to attack "Shadows" themselves, but that's a way off for new players.) Ghosts also track you and if you're close by at night, will float right up to you eventually and make you have to keep running; try that if "around a campfire!" Once you have even the most basic spear and armor, they only do three hits to you, which is not a lot of damage when (and here is the key) armored, and are guaranteed to disappear this way (instead of you luckily have somewhere else to go far away, went back to their last location after a full game day has past, and they don't bug out and do disappear when you visit their last floated to location again.)

Some enemies TRACK you when you anger them. Ghosts are one which must be killed or ran away from long enough (if not bugged) to disappear. Treeguards are another who don't simply go away. (They are a freakin' boss monster so of course not!) If they have another enemy to attack by them being attacked, when done (if still alive,) are neutral to you until you chop trees down in their presence. They also can be pacified if you know how to appease a TREE guard. Maybe doing something LIFE GIVING involving TREES? Can anyone tell me why I'm not getting any more experience no matter how long I survive after I've unlocked Woody? Am I missing something?You are at the character and experience cap. There's nothing more to get. The character screen if there (at the time of this posting) is just a permannet placeholder. When downlad conent comes out if bought, then dying/escaping XP will resume. Then cap again. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/31430-new-player/#findComment-414494 Share on other sites More sharing options...
