#3 Tools Of The Trade: Weapons, And Armor
Weapons:
Chests might have weapons or you can make one. Your choice!Armor:
Want some armor? Well, the blacksmith has got you covered. Shells out some in-game cash or ingots, or get lucky with a loot crate.#4 Smart Use Of Leather: Craft Bandages
Got leather scraps? Craft bandages for healing. Oh, you can make a medkit from bandages, a real lifesaver! More leather scraps? Upgrade your medkit into a backpack for more storage!#5 Search for an Ideal Spot to Set Up Home Base
First up, ensure it's defensible. A hilltop house won't simply repel raiders by its mere existence. Protection requires active effort. Your stronghold may need defenses like a battering ram deterrent.Next, think about raw materials! A superior base boasts nearby resources, but stingily shared with rivals. Nearby water reduces thirst, and local trees provide lumber, staving off hunger during supply shortages.
Remember to evaluate resource accessibility in your location decision: aim for a short walk!
#6 Prepare in Advance and Exercise Tent Set-Up
Either seasoned camper or greenhorn tent assembler, pre-field testing is invaluable. Such preparation ensures instant tent establishment in the heat of the moment, offers learning opportunities and time estimates. So how to speed-erect your tent?- Ground stakes provide stability (hammer them in using a mallet). This is best used when the weather is calm.
- Start setting up your tent from inside, first joining all poles. Roll them up to the top of your backpack, ready for next use.
- Here's a quick trick: One person lifts their pole, the other person connects theirs close by (everyone should know the right direction!). Fasten them using rope loops (or any other material), then pull down firmly. Done!
