Im at 'Hunt' difficulty now and getting Fabled Tier 2 materials, but stuck because I lack enough Tier 1 Essence to raise the gear I make to Uncommon. Is there a super efficient way to farm Tier 1 Essence?

I found that if I "reset" (i.e. respawned) my Astrolabe forest realms then ran around and did all the puzzles, and farmed mats I get a decent rate of essence. Also make sure you have that essence charm, seems to considerably up the drop rate (especially when farming mats). Spam collect as you're running from place to place and get occasional essences from fiber.

Finished up my Tudor beach house...

Yeah, this is a very nice and good step forward. They're at their .3 release and getting a lot more polished. I suspect we have around 3 more months of updates every couple or three weeks to get to a real 1.0 release point. Once it hits that I'm going to do a playthrough and report back. I'm still enjoying it puttering around waiting for them to finish content.

OK. Just because I love doing a good thread necro ;)

They did a pretty MASSIVE update. The whole "storymode" of the game is completely different. Now, you have set pre-build/bespoke realms where you do story line stuff (and there's a metric asston more story line). This was, IMHO, a big step forward.

Also, they streamlined the tech tree/progression for crafting. Much easier to know what's going on and craft/upgrade things.

Drawback? They've drifted into the niche where at most they have 1500-2000 users on at a time now. Not a sign of a game that has a future. heh Essentially they did an early access that was IMHO too early, If they did early access with the game as it is now it would probably get a very different public reception than it did.

I wouldn't expect too much, the studio behind the game is having massive $$ problems and likely will shut down soon. They also made the game Tales of Kenzera and had to shut down that studio due to absolutely dismal sales.

aka don't buy any MTX for this game lol

The game was ok, but not great and the early access didn't show something that seemed to have huge potential. So it probably didn't well enough to sustain the game in early access for long.

Pretty sure the early access model is going to go downhill soon, people are realizing that a lot of these project end up taking years to get out of early access and often fall short of promises.

Survival genre is too crowded in my opinion, and very little differs between games aside from setting and how the building works.

Been playing this for about a solid week now. I feel that a lot has changed since all these original posts, since most of the guides etc I find online when I get stuck are so far out of date.

I'm loving how intricate the crafting system is, being able to use different materials and how it affects the outcome of the crafted item.

Building kind of sucks.. mainly because there is like 9 different Realms, and I'm not wanting to build a different house in every realm, so I wind up with a lot of loading screens going to my house, then back to the realm I'm working on.

Yeah, the big "realms reimagined" patch they had fixed a ton of shit, but also fundamentally changed a ton of shit. And the playing base has shrunk so that there just aren't as many good guides being written/updated/maintained.

I need to go tinker in that game some more, maybe this weekend.

I really enjoyed it and started it back up, but the first time I played I did it at nightmare difficulty.

I will confess Nightmare difficulty with the new content was... far more difficult so I haven't progressed as much, though I still thoroughly enjoy it.

In the first iteration I only built one big base and just used it as a hub and raided the other realms for resources. I stopped playing the first go around just because of lack of content. I would imagine there isn't much need to build too many large bases. What I've been doing so far is just an outpost with basic bed, food and storage in each new realm and just concentrating on my actual home realm being the fully fleshed out building.

The new questline seemed interesting, but cause of the slow progress I had at the difficulty and my computer blowing up, I haven't really gone back. How is the content available currently?

The main questline, progressing through the realms to The Watch, was fun for me. I have 44 hours in this playthrough, and I'm done with the main mission, probably about 2/3 of the side missions.

When you get into the Ascended realms, it's mainly just farming for materials to upgrade gear etc, but without a driving story past that, and a full set of Tier 4 or 3++ equipment, I'm kinda done now lol.
