They don’t “need” any of the items they will go to. They will go to any fire, but it doesn’t need to be on and if you don’t have one it doesn’t matter. Same with a well, bed, chairs, etc. They will sleep in your bed and sit in your tavern. Not sure about thrones. One nice touch is that some chairs have the “sitting on the throne” pose.
Main thing will be to make sure that campfires, beds, and probably chairs are not outside so your bench thralls won’t open your doors to let other players in your base. Otherwise, you can figure needs out after the update. They are calling them needs but the thralls “need” none of these things to continue existing.
It probably would be a good idea to take all of your bench thralls off of your benches before the update since Funcom updates aren’t perfect. This is just to make 100% sure that your thrall limit isn’t exceeded. When your thrall limit is exceeded, your thralls will be deleted until you are below the limit again. Not sure which ones will get deleted first but I assume it will be my most prized thrall and avoid the scenario.
I also have no idea which bench thralls will be placeable and count towards your thrall limit and which ones won’t. I am just gonna be safe and assume it is all of them.
Remove all your thralls from the benchs and hold they in your character , wood box chest or vault make sure it have 240 hour time.
Search a priest in real life doesnt matter your religion pray for your god aleast 7 times 1 week before the update ask he for big protection.
1 day before update buy some drinks.
In the day of update make love with your girlfriend ,boyfriend ,husband ,wife or your hands watch some comedian movie and drink so much log in game cross your fingers and maybe you dont get angry or saddly.
Last advise: wait 1 or 2 months to put your thralls in bench again.
They use stoves but not as a needs based requirement for all. Only Cooks will navigate to them.
The campfires act more like a rest spot, very much like the beds and chairs. They appear to prefer Bonfires as well, I haven’t witnessed one go to a campfire even through it was a choice.
Same here. I like the Large Campfire and the Vanir Hearth the most for a kind of centerpiece for the great hall (actually more like a mediocre hall tbh). Spit Roast campfire is also nice. The stoves are a bit boring looking, and the bonfire really just looks like it belongs outside.
