Currently the only biomes that have unique resources are the Highlands and the Volcano. I’d like to see the Desert and Jungle get some love to.
How about some exotic hardwoods in the jungle? There should also be a wealth of alchemical and cooking supplies not found elsewhere.
The Desert could offer up some mid level mineral resources. A few salt mines might be nice. Heck follow through on the silver mine idea in the western Desert. A couple more exclusive plant types would also be fun. Heck have glass come from sand pits instead of rock.
I think the desert being a starting area is pretty fair. I agree that the jungle seems pretty empty though and needs more appeal. It just feels far away from everything that you would want to do endgame
removing stuff from places would suck, itd be cool if new resources came with new recipes. more things along the lines of thorgars armor for all the biomes.
jungle scent: komodo gland, fern, compost. renders player nearly invisible to jungle creatures.
(ferns already in game)
spirit of the forest: npc shaman sends you after- ayahuasca vine and bark, amanita. effect, x ray or heat vision. (ayahuasca tree already ingame, with vines hangin from way high up)
To be fair, the silver mine is technically functioning, it’s just overrun by scorpions. So, they have followed through on that idea, it just also has coal, iron and stone. Actually a decent place to get a lot of things.
The logick of the game is complete for me which means i like it the way it is. If a biome provide you everything then you have no reason to travel, so i like it the way it is. And for the record jungle provides you almost everything and you can start your game from there. Imagine that i take my first scales for special fish traps with stone daggers.
I agree ElderDays. A long time ago now, I suggested that the main thing that a new biome would need (hypothetically speaking) is some unique resources and enemies to keep players coming back there. One such biome without any unique resources is the Jungle, and as a result, I dont frequent it often. Another suggestion I made long ago now is that we should create a new T2 building type…Mudbrick. Now let us suppose that the only biome where we can obtsin Mud for our Mudbricks is the Jungle. Can you imagine how much more we would frequent it, or for that matter any biome? Just look how often we go to the Frozen North and Volcano by comparison, due to them having unique resources. In other words +1 from me.
realstic yes, Certain biomes would grow or have something in them thats really only there do to temperature and other big word reasons I’m to lazy to type… but its a video game.
Jungle has few of its own plants, you’ll find them else were mostly do to chest or loot drop. Or there fairly uncommon in another zone.
Same with Volcano, granted there limited use. Which I think is abit fair for video game play wise. If I had walk to Vol everytime i need some of those plants… i’d admin panel them and be done with it, or hoard so many in 1 trip, It be wasted effort for devs to force me back up there. I’d find a way around it, LOL plants now spoil
OH GOD NO!!!
Snow has Frost ones… also limited to pretty much dyes.
If you play pvp then you will understand that jungle is a great biome, it has the best hide outs, deep waters to place your vaults and the easiest armorer. Plus ebony silk, payed thralls and pets, pearls, easy gold and silver, dagoon scales and endless materials easy accessible. If it had aloe too then you realy wouldn’t go away from jungle. How ever i have to mention that thow i build in three diferent places in jungle i never had human purges and this is minus.
Eastern barracks (east of it) Along island, I had one base. Got mostly NPC purges.
Its kinda trouble area thou, as some spawn in deeper water…and float down there till you archer them. XD
I got Imps a few times, (which makes sense since there at barracks)
My slave camp was in tree just left of padoga of boundless lust, I had small fort in tree ramps and wheel of pain at bottom, Not far from camp were t4 cook spawns.
That so far has always been derkito related purges. (I havnt had that slave camp in few updates)
