Ask A Question Thread
I thought this could be a neat way to avoid too much clutter AND a nice place for people to just ask 1 or 2 questions without having to start up a whole new thread.

I'll start it off...

How do I make a Bow?

I'm not seeing it in any crafting menus. I just found some Copper and thought I could make one as I want to play as a Ranger.

open crafting menu and create a woodworking bench. you'll need some pristine wood and coton or wool for the bow.

Thanks. I think I was trying to make it using the copper forge. So many benches in this game it's hard to keep up with what makes what.

Love the idea of the "Ask a question" thread. I'd be happy to pin it. But first, let's see if it gets a few more folks using it. Once i see a few more questions posted by other members of the community, i'll pin this :cybereye:

Thanks. Yeah I guess it wouldn't make sense for it to be pinned if I'm the only one asking questions on it LOL.

Here is a question. Do light sources (Torches and Candles for example) prevent monsters from spawning, effectively creating a safe area? If not, what is needed to create safe areas where monsters will no longer respawn in?

Another Question, will Yew, Shade, and Fae trees ever get saplings to be able to plant? I've never seen any so far andI would love to be able to grow any tree/plant in game to create some Extroardinary Gardens.

Not sure about the rare trees dropping saplings. But it is a great idea, so why not post it in the suggestion thread?

As for light sources. The answer is yes. So long as there is a steady amount of light and little shadows to none, mobs won't spawn. So you can effectively make a mob free zone underground digging out an area, using some doors to close it off and plenty of torches. Which also means you can make mob spawning rooms as well, by making a point of keeping it dark. Great way to farm Mobs for resources/gear. :cybereye:

Torches do prevent mob spawns. Though, you will need a substantial amount of lighting to prevent spawning completely in one small area. Torches have a range of ~5 I think.

Not yet implemented, not sure if the dev would either. Another way to get crafting materials is by going deep and killing mobs. In my last expedition into the 50th floor, I ended up with more than 15 shadebark log. There are also Timber wolves in the forest biome I think, that drop logs according to your level.

Question about enchantments:

Are there any others than those at my list below?

Backcolor of item(Level of enchantment) - How to do/get

Green(Minor) - craftable by scroll
Blue(Average) - craftable by book
Purple(Major) - craftable by tome
Orange(Legendary) not craftable, found at low (90?) levels of mines.

Question about Light Armor: Is Mageweave the best Light armor?
fredingue 15 Aug, 2014 @ 7:44am 
Yes, according to the Wiki as my best char is only 50, i don't rush to level up :)

Slipsilk  [developer] 15 Aug, 2014 @ 8:09am 
There is a Yellow level that sometimes comes up. It's supposed to be a unique enchant. Generally one that has a name like "Slipsilks pain stick" but we haven't had time to properly put them in however some people are finding them which...was surprising to us lol

right now yes, we have the 5 tiers of each armor. we'll create more tiers, tier variations and uniques as we go.

ya, we didn't want you to be able to plant and farm the unique trees however I think we are going to put in a decor tree. so you can like, plant one of the unique trees using a log, but if you break it...you just get the log back. This allows you to use the tree as decor around the house, but you can't use it for farm the mats. I know the crafters out there would love to farm mats and not kill for them, but the best balance is that you have to work hard to make money to buy the mats just as the killers have to battle to get their mats. But dems pretty trees!

Where are the vendors? I've not traveled away from my spawn point at all since starting the game. Are they just randomly placed in the world?
fredingue 15 Aug, 2014 @ 9:51am 
Lol, funny question :)

Vendors are where you place their stores.

If there are other ones in the world, i haven't seen one yet.

I didn't even know you could place stores yet. I guess I've barely scratched the surface of this game.
