This is a bit embarrassing but it also brings up an important point. I’m 200+ hours into the game and just learned that the blacksmith buys harvestables as well as crystals. I remember early on asking how to make money and someone told me by breaking down gear and I never thought anything more about it. For something as important as that I feel there should be a quest or something in the initial tutorial explaining or forcing you to harvest something and sell it so that a new user knows how to make dram.
I know certain things in the game are supposed to be secret so that it encourages community building but getting incomplete advice early on can make things a lot more difficult.
This is explained in the tutorial now, that the apprentice smith will buy harvestables, but Im sure it wasn’t when you did the tutorial if you have 200 hrs in game. If you make an alt character (assuming you dont have one already) it would be worth checking out the tutorial now as well as the extended tutorial (split tutorial up into two sections to let players that want to get to the game faster have a short experience, while others wanting to deep dive into it could also go back at any time to complete a more in depth one) and give us some feedback. It’s easy for me to assume things should be “known” already (like selling to app smith) but I’ve tried going back and explaining everything, but would love more eyes and feedback on the tutorial. Also if you do end up going back through tutorial, make sure you have you “show help signs” on so you can see the signs scattered throughout.
I tried looking into the new intro, I went back to Bart and he asked me to get some stag meat, I did but then he didn’t respond to me waving to him again.
oh okay if you have that much time in game your tutorial is probally bugged out, have you done the main quest line at all or have you just done sidequests?
I deleted my alt and tried making a new character, as far as I can tell I was able to bypass it or missed it entirely. I harvested the queens ear in the pen at the beginning, quickly killed the stag and returned and was sent on my way to the Chef.
The stag was much easier to kill this time around. Did musky this time rather than warrior.
I thought I remember the original tutorial having me go through all the classes. Did I miss something or will it send me back?
If there is an extended version, it should definitely be something you have to opt out of with a confirmation dialog as well. Otherwise I would have missed it entirely without knowing.
Yeah all the new guys have no idea what the other classes are. They seem more confused than before. Fixing the tutorial shouldn’t be just removing the other classes from it - there needs to be a better way - like have warriors draw combos in the air or have something telling them when to block for the first redtail.
