Yesterday, I spent a lot of time playing the game. I cant remember what node/zone I'm in, but it's two hexagons north of a noobie zone in the bottom left of the NA East. I stayed in the deep oasis all day and never saw a single person until I started to leave towards the zone line to log out. Seems as though killing NPC's with your ship turret gives you loot, but no fragments? At least, thats what it seemed like. I put a lot of fragments into clothing and towards a weapon yesterday. Not really sure on attributes though. Not sure what matters most at later levels, but right now.. I feel like I have good durability to survive a few hits. White Death so far is the only one that can kill me that fast.
I also learned that the pathing is absolutely horrible for NPC's. So I would set up two Fiber Work Benches at a /\ position, run through an entire camp, help them with the pathing in their own camp as I run through it, then path them into my bottle neck. They cant move past it, so I bob and weave up to the arrow point that theyre stuck, let them attack, then do an over head attacks and it would take out all the lower level NPC's, three hits would take out all the higher level NPC's like Shamans and Huruku's or w/e. Even works against White Death, but he hits like a f'n truck against me still. He has a quicker attack than the rest of the ru's and a longer reach. Just like everything else, you gotta wait for them to attack - but he knocked the shit out of me. By the time I was able to get up, he was already back off to the track to run his marathon. F'n Harambe bastard.
I also learned, I am absolutely terrible blocking. I dont know if it's the fact that I dont get how to maneuver the mouse or what. But it seems like I can block the low level ru's 75% of the time and then Sentinel's like 25% of the time and shamans, huru's and white devil's just rock me. Any tips on that? I feel like I'm going to eventually run into someone and they are going to just decimate the shit out of me cause I cant land a single hit and barely block any of the hits from them.
I never found the little nunu's or whatever that drop Hide when you harvest them. Was more fun to trial and error when it came to finding stuff, but I could never figure out Hide's so I looked that one up. Mushrooms freaked me out at first, too. Chopped one up and then the sulfur smoke, I thought it was some poisonous gas lol. The super tall cactus tree's or whatever, when I harvest the fruit - other than repelling down as safely as possible - have you guys figured out how to get up there, harvest it and then get down quickly without multiple line taps for replling? I'm going to have to look up a lot of stuff much further from this, but I think once I have blocking down pat - Ill go find some people to join. The zone I was in was overwhelmingly nice for the most part. Some group of PVP came in as I was leaving, and the text boss went wild with deaths - but I didnt see it.
