Went on a trip looking for seeds.
There is a fairly large operation in the hearth lands to our east. There was a cave nearby as well, I managed to steal 3 really nice cheeses... the owners have really good seeds, but they are all claimed.

I made Lieutenant Commander 7 in Star Trek last night.
Was fighting Gorn at the time.

I have no idea how to find your hearth fires.
It took me until today to figure out I needed a skill in order to hunt a rabbit. And I only "figured" that out cuz someone told me in IRC.

Found a heard of cows close enough to the river to get them. Got four of them. Only got one hide from each one though. All low quality stuff. It's in the house uncooked right now. Didn't have the energy to collect the bones and intestines though. Meat and hides were all I took.

Dried and Cured, their hides will turn into 4 leather each....

Build a boat, join a party with us... and follow the arrow.
You could be literally hours away... by BOAT....
That's why I said you should do the hearthfire thing. If you haven't earned a ton of LP yet, just restart, we could get you started right....

@ Cake We need to get you a better quality axe and some survival skills... the quality of this meat is terrible.
Blade and Survival skill raises the quality of the stuff you get from animals.

Explain the hearthfire thing? Preferably in details an idiot could follow.

When you make your character, in that water rectangle thing, there was a guy in the top center corner.
he asked for your "Hearthfire secret"
If you had put "DTMan", it would have put your hearthfire next to ours. Essentially your hearthfire is where you log in at, you can also use it to quick travel back home.

Gotcha. so in order to repawn, I need to get completely killed, not just knocked out? Time to find a bear.

Also, be sure to tell me your name so I can add you to the allowed list on our claim.

I tried to kill myself to recreate and it was going to take HOURS. And I was finding animals to kill me. I ended up creating a new account and character.
Last I read, you spawn in a random location. And the only real way to tell where you are is to start walking to the left until you are blocked and can't go further. Then, head up, till you stop. Then you know you are in the upper left corner of the world. Or, you run into one of the larger player villages that happen to know where they are on the map.
The "super grids" are 5000x5000 spaces and theres a grid of at least 5x5 grids. People believe, and the devs confirm, that super grids have been added. But no one knows if the world is still square.
As far as hunting leather, it's gonna have to be a group thing. I had to travel so far to get it, it would have taken forever to collect it all. That's why I abandoned all the intestines and bones. With no boat storage, I can only carry what fits in my pack. I had enough room for two cows worth of meat and hides and my basic hunting equipment. So really, I'd like to see it where one of us kills them (me right now), and the other skins and butchers and transports. While I'm killing the next one, the first is being gathered. Last night, the pack was 4 large, and they all locked onto me after attacking. Took about 20-30 minutes to kill them all, then a ton of time transporting. The green area that we went to yesterday goes all the way to the river on the other side. So, I could sail up and around and kill from the boat. If we could get more straw baskets (and you can lift them with stuff in them), it will make it WAY more efficient.

I stole a straw basket and use it for that on my boat. You can lift it and move, same with regular baskets.
Need to get wheat for straw, I'm working on it.

How far from straw are you? I want that bigger house.
