Tips and Tricks

This is a list of useful tips and methods.

## Basic Pointers

**Things to Do:**

* Explore Your Surroundings: Search the area for scattered chests, as they can hold valuable items. Be cautious around creatures that surpass your level in power.
* Craft a Workbench: Gather 3 sticks and create a workbench. Consider collecting 11 additional sticks for crafting a Shack and Basket. Prioritize obtaining Wooden Armor for better survival chances.
* Engage in Combat: Battle creatures within your capabilities to level up. Upon leveling, access the Hybrid Stats menu with 8 options. Early-game choices should favor Mining, Health Regen, and Crafting. Reserve Power Energy, Attack, and Health for later stages when gearing up.
* Accumulate Coins: Progress until you've acquired sufficient coins. Utilize Mystery Boxes for a straightforward source of coins, avoiding glitches or exploits.
* Furnish Your Space: Once you've amassed enough coins, visit Gumpy Pug for furniture. Focus on functionality before aesthetics for your cottage.
* Consider Hybrid Pets: Optionally, experiment with the Egg Fuser and purchase an Uranium Bar from Octo Kitty to create a hybrid pet.
* Beware of Deep Exploration: When venturing into deeper territories, expect encounters with higher-level, aggressive creatures.
* Advance Your Combat: Repeat step 1 while facing more challenging creatures. Your improved skills will help tackle higher-level opponents.
* Unlock Magma Sword Potential: As an option, if your attack stat reaches level 30, equip a magma sword for its 50% burning chance, enabling you to challenge bosses and stronger foes. Ensure a health stat of at least 12 before attempting this strategy.

**Things to Avoid:**

* Cautiously Explore Caves: Do not enter caves without sufficient Torches or expired Land Claims. The risk of getting lost is high, so consider using the Eagle Eye perk.
* Avoid Overpowered Bosses: Steer clear of battling bosses significantly stronger than you. These encounters can lead to heavy health loss or even death. Exception: lure bosses away for quick loot retrieval or escape.
* Utilize Companions Wisely: Do not neglect high-level companions by leaving them idle. They offer valuable assistance and can be ridden in future updates.
* Spending Wisely: Refrain from spending all your coins on uncertain purchases. For example, avoid buying a Mansion if you lack a suitable location. Prioritize practicality.

## Leveling Up Your Companion Tips

**Leveling Up Your Companion Strategically:**

***This method for leveling up your companion should be employed only after they reach level 10. And, for aiming to maximize experience gains, it's best to implement it when they've hit level 15. Prior to that, their survival might be at risk.***

The way experience is distributed between you and your companions hinges on the final blow— whoever lands the decisive hit obtains the experience. Let's dive into why this mechanism is valuable. As you're likely aware, the experience you earn from defeating enemies is proportionate to the difference in levels between the enemy and yourself. This principle extends to your companion's level as well. Even if your companion inflicts just a single point of damage as the last hit, they'll acquire all the experience from that kill. The highest amount of experience a companion can garner is 90, achievable when they eliminate an enemy at least 15 levels higher. Considering that companions require just 30 experience points to level up (note that this requirement gradually increases), you can now see the potential. By reducing an enemy's health to a minimal level, you can let your companion land the finishing blow, securing them three levels in a single stroke.

Now, a few recommendations for safety and efficiency:

* Exercise Caution: Limit your companion's engagement to enemies no more than 20 levels above them unless their gear is adequately robust. It's crucial to protect their well-being to prevent unfortunate outcomes.
* Gear Restrictions: Remember that companions can only equip items suitable for their level. The required level for an item on your character is thrice that for your companion. For instance, if you need to be level 12 to equip metal gear, your companion should be at least level 36.
* Healing Mechanisms: Unlike characters, companions can't be healed using items. Their healing relies on leveling up or natural regeneration. Approach caution when having them engage much stronger foes. Note that once a companion dies, they won't respawn.
* Isolation Strategy: When employing the leveling technique described earlier, keep your other companion at home. This ensures that they won't siphon off the experience gains.
* Swift Health Restoration: In case your companion requires health urgently, you can temporarily recall them to the companion screen—where you equip them—and instruct them to wait beside you. Swiftly summon them again, and they'll reappear with their health fully restored.

***Employing these strategies smartly will aid in efficiently boosting your companion's prowess while safeguarding their survival and your overall gameplay experience.***

## Multiplayer Tips

**Creating a Strong Foundation for Multiplayer:**

***Before you embark on your multiplayer journey, it's crucial to lay the groundwork properly. Here's how:***

* Establish a Secure Base: Build a robust base that serves as your central hub for activities. Ensure you have land claims and a teleportation mechanism unlocked before constructing your base. This not only secures your belongings but also facilitates easy movement.
* Spread Kindness: In the realm of multiplayer, kindness goes a long way. Uphold a respectful and friendly attitude towards fellow players. Avoid engaging in scamming or using inappropriate language.
* Promote Fair Trades: Instead of exploiting others, aim for fair trades. Treat others as you would want to be treated, ensuring that every exchange benefits all parties involved.
* Lend a Helping Hand: If you notice someone in need of assistance, step up and help them out. Whether it's guiding them through gameplay mechanics or supporting them in challenges, your support can foster a positive community atmosphere.
* Prioritize Privacy: Keep your personal information confidential. In an online environment, safeguarding your private details is paramount for your security.
* Prioritize Safety: When engaging in multiplayer activities, prioritize safety. Be cautious about sharing personal information, and if something feels off, trust your instincts and take necessary precautions.
* By adopting these principles, you contribute to a welcoming, secure, and respectful multiplayer environment. Your actions can shape a positive community where players can enjoy the game to the fullest.

## Things to Remember

This is a list of things you should NEVER, EVER FORGET.

1. You need levels in Health to wear better armor. It works the same for swords, except for the fact you need levels in Attack to have a good sword.
2. If you need anything rare, venturing to the multiplayer servers might not be a bad choice. Just remember, if you want to go hunting, wear your backup armor. You might easily die and respawn without the stuff you had.
3. Do not EVER, EVER, EVER use swear words or steal on the multiplayer servers. Hopefully, nothing will happen if you do it ONCE, but doing it multiple times might result in someone reporting you and the staff getting you banned.
