Bro, just came across this video before I was going to look for more crafting tips, clicked it and all the answers were to the point, quick and clear. Great work here man, liked and subbed!! Thanks for that
The max durability is not much of an issue, until it loses 20% to 25% max durability. Which take a while before you even notice. I did not even realize that it was an issue until I was level 30ish or so. Often times, a few loss durability means nothing
Finding travel routes is also crazy on this game map. When im rippin on my jag to the lv 22+ areas, its very tricky to stay on flat ground and find my way thru the rainforest without hitting a cliff and having to check the map constantly to find the path. Wish u could set routes that u could activate to get some visual aid on the path to where you're heading to, the quick shortcut thing doesnt really help u stay off the map screen when youre on a fast mount
If you respawn as a tribesman by accident, and your settings are correct. Go to a bonfire and you can choose, 'initiate model character' or something like that. And you will respawn as your premade character in the beginning in the game without losing your tribesman
Super duper pro fast travel tip for single player mode: check "spawn death package in front of you after death" in server advanced settings, build bonfires/campfires around the map. After death/suicide (or press Esc and click Respawn) just choose bonfire/campfire where you want to respawn at. 6 bonfires available per tribe and unlimited number of campfires.
"Do not place a bonfire where you will be adventuring because it will block other players from placing campfires" Average Ark player: "Oh No! Anyway..."
Heya @wak4863 relatively new to the game. Only unlocked a few of the fogs. So, is our main character essentially only good for the start stages? From what I've seen you can't enhance over is it 50? So basically find the best available character to take over?
Ive been locking myself from continuing further because i keep leveling a fighter as well as a goon guard with -60% dmg taken before i explore. If i get killed its like DAMN. I gotta go level up a goon and a fighter again . Is there a better or quicker way to get back into the fight faster? I get killed in dumb ways, usually from not realizing im being killed while looking at the map
The strenght of the wild animals and enemies, is not well balanced with the player character level or their own level. Suggest you adjust the settings a bit. For example, if you want to fight an enemy who is too strong for you alone, he strenght won't incraese if you bring people with you. And also other stuff. Watch a video about it, it helps a lot.
Do you know much about Alpaca’s, specifically their behavior? There’s 2 setting: freedom and stop under the action settings. If ya pick freedom does that set them free? Or give them permission to roam your base? I tried it but when I picked freedom and they started moving through the fence I stopped them cuz I was afraid they’d run away, but they just stand in the same place otherwise.
Something that drives me nuts is going through chests to craft things. I'd really like to have easier "global" access to your chests while inside of the bonfire radius
@@wak4863 when? I just started playing and I still have to manually go to my chests, gather the items and them craft it. I end up being overweight and just crawling to my crafting stations lol
For the starting character, not really. I have heard you can get to 70 by doing some late game dungeon bosses but the cap for starting character will always be low. You are meant to shift between tribesmen to get a character that has the skills you want. I do wish you could assign a job to your starting tribesman to at least have them be the one maintaining the bonfire instead of just lounging around the camp doing nothing.
bro the amount of stuff they can put in a game without it exploding or breaking constantly is mind blowing. Also I guess they forgot the best part being crafting from chest?
It’s there with the automation. Your tribesman will retrieve the items. Make a quest crafting queue on a bench and watch your tribes people do the rest.
First off, thasnk you Wak, second about soulmask can you and your friends be in the same tribe/clan I noticed a clan area in details but.... is this a control issue thing i need to work up to?
@@wak4863 how do you apply to the tribe? you will have to excuse me I'm an 60 y/o guy that got a server for this game and is trying to get his friend to join. I have a tribe. I haven't made a name for it. do I have to do that first?
fgigured it out. On the "tribe" window in the bottom right there is a "create" tribe option, then he could apply to join tribe. sorry to waste your time with that one.
Certain foods can give mood boosts (namely wine, mezcal, etc). Some recruitable NPCs will also come with likes/dislikes traits that will affect their mood simply by being around whatever their trait is for
@kazumablackwing4270 yea was playing around, got one that like to just sit around and not work she got to like 900 tried the rest (no traits or anything for it) so I gave everyone a few rl hours off didn't do much, just got to beer/wine so imma get everyone plastered lol. Also buddy of mine just got one that likes to eat poop and that make um happy, so that's a thing lol
Assign a tribesman’s to the bonfire that keeps it full of whatever you have in chests. You can also create work for them to harvest the wood in the area. They lose tool durability and won’t repair them. So you have to keep up on the tools. But otherwise the loop is continuous.
what do these crafting survival games have against letting us make lean-to's or simple tents. In Valheim i have to literally build a Workbench, then build a whole ass house to sleep in when im out ranging. Let me make tent damn it!
is there a way to transfer control to your tribesman if you are getting attacked at your base and you are super far away from your base without killing yourself?
hey so i have a problem i need to make radation mods and for that i need bee wax i made the bee hives and got honey from it and it doesnt seem like there is away to get bee wax!! becaue i need it to make the radation mods please help i have been at it for hours now
So what about our actual character is there a way to just play him or gotta change to tribesmen cuz I want to play as my actual character but I hear they don’t have good states so u gotta switch
Do you have any sort of guide on resetting the technology tree? I feel like it would be worth it once you start getting into stone/bronze era. Outside of that the points seem wasted before.
@@wak4863 I know about that maybe I didn’t word it correctly , I was wondering if you might have a guide in regards to what’s worth getting rid of and keeping after a certain point with your experience in the game.
uhm...do u really go through they keybinds that are listed on the screen? im a couple minutes in and im praying you get to the substance eventually....
ooops nope. i conclude this is a big time waster video. talk slower! dont give an overview of the game and the...macro goals....or anything! thumb super up yeah
Question: do you know how to increase proficiency beyond 50 on your created character? I dont much care for the control aspect of the game and would rather just play as my own protagonist, but then I feel a little cucked in proficiency stats
Why is the wording in this game so weird? Like "preference" an item instead of "favorite", or when placing buildings, "absorption focus" instead of snapping
Excellent video. Only thing that has disappointed me about the game so far is that you don't have vent smoke for indoor fires. This was one of my favourite Valheim features and so few survival games incorporate it.
I play solo, and I definitely DID NOT TRY using bandages while in feigned death state, THANK YOU! That's gonna save tons of time!
yeah using bandages saved me during "feigned" death
Fantastic work! Best part is no bullshit. Just straight into the good stuff. Bookmarking.
Thanks I try to keep it simple and straightforward.
Wak rarely ever beats around the bush. And he gives full detail. Was this way with CE too.
Always love your Conan content - glad you’re playing this. ❤

Happy to help. Welcome aboard.
I've been following your content since the early Conan days. The game didn't deserve you & I am always impressed by your dedication
A great trove of tips! Thanks a lot, Wak! Just started to play the game and I´m loving it!
Finally, someone explains the game, so even an old lady understands! Brilliant work, great job! Subbed and saved 👏 👏
Thanks happy I met your expectations.
Excellent guide with a ton of info. Subbed after listening to it for about 5 mins :)
Welcome aboard!
Everytime you repair tool it loses maximum durability, so if it gets low got to make a new one, important for your Tribeys.
Thanks!
Very useful info, thank you so much!
The losing of max durability when repairing is toggleable in the options if you really want to turn it off.
The max durability is not much of an issue, until it loses 20% to 25% max durability. Which take a while before you even notice. I did not even realize that it was an issue until I was level 30ish or so. Often times, a few loss durability means nothing
Kind of dumb tbh. Repaired is repaired.
Suggestions from Wak, a player with hundreds of hrs in Soulmask , you gotta listen to😊
Thanks!
Good man representing a great game. Thanks wak4863.

What is up with the floor? 9:24 I'm only at thatch rn on sp but that floor looks like foundations meshed into each other🤔🤔😅
Amazing video. So much usefull and vital info. Thank you for your time.
Thanks.
Best getting started video I've seen for this yet. Great stuff here. Subbed and saved.
Thanks more like this to come. 🙂
Thank you for this. I learned a few good tips here. Also I found your channel via Neebs Gaming. Keep up the good work!
If you respawn as a tribesman by accident, and your settings are correct. Go to a bonfire and you can choose, 'initiate model character' or something like that. And you will respawn as your premade character in the beginning in the game without losing your tribesman
This beginner starter tips guide was amazing. Thank you so much I look forward to more content about slow mask

Wow I was not using the quest crafting to its fullest thanks for explaining that!

I think if this game came out around the time of "Apocalypto" being released, it would have sky rocketed.

lets go! another quality wak upload
Sup wak, and thanks for the tips. Yes, I'm stalking you.
Yeaaa boyy my favourite Conan creator got the goods for soul mask awesome stuff !!
Throat Punch seems to do everything in your tribe! He needs a raise :P
Great Guide for early game, TY!!
Treat this game exactly like factorio with buffer chests... ez life.
Great video! Very informative. Thank you :)
Glad it was helpful!

Fantastic as always, thanks! Will follow series closely.
thank you. good job.
What defenses do we have on there? Anything similar to a turret or is our base dependent upon NPCs that are weaker than players?
The NPC's, or tribes people we recruit are actually a lot stronger than our 'main' character. There are also defences you can build for your base.
First off, thasnk you Wak, second about soulmask can you and your friends be in the same tribe/clan I noticed a clan area in details but.... is this a control issue thing i need to work up to?
Clans are called tribes, the clan tab is for your recruited NPC. So make a tribe and then have your friends apply to the tribe.
@@wak4863 how do you apply to the tribe? you will have to excuse me I'm an 60 y/o guy that got a server for this game and is trying to get his friend to join. I have a tribe. I haven't made a name for it. do I have to do that first?

always good stuff wak, but im wondering how do i raise follow mood, mine seem to be capped around 415-450 ish
Certain foods can give mood boosts (namely wine, mezcal, etc). Some recruitable NPCs will also come with likes/dislikes traits that will affect their mood simply by being around whatever their trait is for

tHANK YOU dude
QUESTION: bonfire- can you tell an NPC to gather resources for the fire like wood/branches to keep the fire alive?
Assign a tribesman’s to the bonfire that keeps it full of whatever you have in chests. You can also create work for them to harvest the wood in the area. They lose tool durability and won’t repair them. So you have to keep up on the tools. But otherwise the loop is continuous.
They need to replace circulation crafting with the "Make until X in stock" option, cause circulation time based crafting is bad news
Yeah makes sense. It's still early access so maybe they will add it in the future.
what do these crafting survival games have against letting us make lean-to's or simple tents. In Valheim i have to literally build a Workbench, then build a whole ass house to sleep in when im out ranging. Let me make tent damn it!
This man’s quick tips are words in the bottom of the screen and part of the tutorial…. Wak you’re better than this
is there a way to not lose you tribes men on death when you are controlling them?
Yes you need the mysterious stone tablet to save and then revive them.
can you max out everything in your mask and can you learn everything in the tech tree?
is there a way to transfer control to your tribesman if you are getting attacked at your base and you are super far away from your base without killing yourself?
Brilliant video, tnx.
Do you have any favorite starter base location?

You can you need to defeat the bosses to unlock more proficiency for your created character. It’s the top line of mask upgrades.
@@wak4863 ah thanks for the clarification and quick reply o7
can you show me how to craft bone weapons?
They are on the craftsman bench.
man is there a way to deploy more than 1 member of tribe to follow me?
It seems like there is a lot of crafting in this game. Looks like a lot of micro- managing.
Why is the wording in this game so weird? Like "preference" an item instead of "favorite", or when placing buildings, "absorption focus" instead of snapping
I know it’s probably too soon to know but any word on us console folk getting this?
They plan to bring it to console once they have the game flushed out.
@@wak4863 that’s fantastic, this one looks pretty good. Thanks for the update. Great vid as always!

Clearly Neebs and crew didn't watch this 😂
Only wish tribesmen would repair their own tools. Its just a pain lol.
That glowing outline around the guys you're fighting is one of the most irritating game mechanics I have ever come across. Can it be turned off?

It has it. Quest craft
I don't like the animations in this game, gonna pass
Who cares
