Tips and Tricks

This article is gathers tips and tricks from the official Discord server. Those are all quotes from it.

* Multiplayer / Inviting a friend  -  Once you start the game you'll have to go through your first raid and finish it before it'll say multiplayer is enabled.  Once you enable Multiplayer hit the back button and you can invite friends from this menu.  You'll also have to make sure your on the newest version of the game (at the time of writing is 1.0.5.0)
* You can spirit grind back to your body.
* Many times you will see something out of reach like a chest or schematic. Use two waypoints, place one at your feet and place another on the area you need to land. Boom. Loot.
* Need shiny stuff? Got a crap ton of twigs/grass/cat tails? Trade them 1 for 1 at the bird. Very handy early game when seeds are hard to come by.
* 'How do I invite a friend?' When you start your game, you'll be put into the tutorial, you need to finish this first  before you can invite friends. It'll be shown on your screen when you have unlocked multiplayer, no way of missing it.
* Don't put a waypoint in an aether bramble..yikes
* You can drop your damaged weapons in camp, the drakes will pick them up and put them in the depot.  When you take them out of the depot they will be fully repaired.
* Waypoints can be built in a circle around your base and used to find mobs and move faster during raids.  In inspect mode, this can also be used to check for damaged fence panels.
* Check your depot now and then.  Drakes will pick things up and put them in there like arrows or crystals from raids.
* When you find a supply truck, click E right away and look around.  You might find other trucks or discover that you can connect to a waypoint.  If nothing else, it creates a marker on your map to find it again later.
* If your drakes haven't slept because of a night raid or trouble with their beds, you can put them to bed with a crafted moon call.
* Use a dowsing rod to find missing aether vines or just to make sure the island is completely clear.  This is especially helpful when it's tough to see things in the snow.
* Check your base after a raid.  Even though the counter is finished and you've gotten a chest, there might be leftover mobs.  The counter doesn't count mobs spawned from mobs (grunts spawned from fangs).  This is a mess if you go hunting immediately after and don't discover until you come home.
* If you leave an aether vine on an island, it will spawn more aether vines nearby.  This is a great opportunity to let it "steep" then use St Elmo's fire.
* I take a picture of the map and have it open on another monitor.  It's not the best solution, but sure beats trying to remember my waypoint paths "Make a left at the ambush, a right at the ballfields, if you get to the creepy house you've gone too far."
* The magpie won't buy what you have equipped; it's not even in the list to sell.  This is useful if you have more than one item level of the same weapon and only want to sell the lower one.  Equip the higher one and it's safe to sell.
