Haven and Hearth

I'm still not sure if this game is worth the effort.

I'll give it a little bit longer, but right now it's just too grindy to do the most basic stuff. Even compared to UO.

Edit: I just read that that really basic thing I thought was grindy is actually something I was supposed to find a "Vein" of.

It's clay. I think I need to pack up shop and sail away until I find a spot with enough clay to make the kiln/oven.

Any theories on the size of the world? How secluded can people be?

Server came back up and I was right where I was when it crashed. I put the boat behind a rock and tree about a screen to the South (UO Directions). But, it looks like it just crashed again. heheh

Shoot, some of the racks decayed or something, and I lost two seeds that were drying.

Bummer.

Or someone destroyed them?

Post by **Troy** » Wed Mar 31, 2010 1:32 pm

Na, they would have destroyed the other two as well.

I read on the forums racks randomly decay sometimes. Supposed to keep them indoors.

ahhh. Ok. I also read that baskets decay quickly outside. I figured the decay would be negated if it's on a claimed plot. All the more reason to get that house built!

Yeah but why this when there's all that free porn on the internet?

What about the other 23 hours and 59 minutes?

Just built someone else a house. Was sailing around and saw a paved area. So, I cleared off some baskets and built a house. Then I build two cupboards and put them in the boat. Now I've got a boat with SUPER STORAGE!! Granted, I have to dock the boat, take the cupboard off, fill it, etc. But, now when I'm out fishing, I don't have to go all the way home to unload the catch.

Ha, nice.

Which of our neighbors did you end up raiding?

I managed to punch two nests of ants tonight... strength 17, Unarmed combat 10 or so. I need to push it to 25/25 to take down a fox i think...

Did you find a hole with Plaice? Those fish are the best, apparently, they would make it so i could see the iron finding root.

The few places I tried, I was only getting roaches and perch. Might try other lures next.

The neighbors were, somewhat across the river.

I'm in search of a lake. that's where you catch that fish. Found a 24q pearch hole.

Post by **Cakedaddy** » Fri Apr 02, 2010 1:39 am

Found 28q perch. Found that in a very small area, you will change quality of fish. On the same screen, I found q14-28 perch. And my cooking skill cuts the q in half. So, I have q14 roasted perch.

Also, lost my boat to a bug. Was sailing around and saw string on the shore near a house. Got out of my boat and started walking towards the string. I couldn't move. When I got out of my boat, it put me on someone elses claim. I couldn't move close enough to the boat to get back on. I had to logout and back on to my hearth fire. No way to walk back and get my boat. Not that big of a deal cause I can make another. Just sayin.

It was letting me make water skins out of rabbit hides. So, I made three of them.

It appears that skill points cost varrying amounts. In other words:

I was at 9 marksmanship. To take it to 20, I needed 14400 LP. I had 12k+, so I bought it up to 18 for 12000. Now I need 3900lp to get to 20. So, the more you spend in one chunk, the cheaper each point is.
