General tips I give to new players on the server where I play:
-
make a shelter: having a shelter prevent you from dying by sandstorms, could not be so easy to find a refuge from them while into the wilds.
-
follow journey step: second thing you need is level up, faster way is to follow journey steps until the game will ask you to defeat the kinscourge or the witch queen.
Not because they are task you cannot complete at level 40… but because the recipe you learn as reward requires you to be level 60
-
Explore: third tip is you gain a lot of experience by exploring and finding new locations of the map.
General tips:
-
When you’ll find a boss in the wild (3 skulls on its health bar) don’t fight it if you don’t know what are ou doing. They’re really strong and the reward is the key for their legendary chest with a (radom) legendary weapon or shield in it… BUT you can use those Keys only if you are level 60.
-
Feats and recipes: when you level up you’ll gain attributes points and feats points. Feats allow you to craft new things. But there are also a LOT of recipes in the Wilderness to be found or acquired, they work like a feat.
-
Thrall and pets: acquiring the feats to enslave people and taming aniamls use them: thralls in crafting stations reduce time and/or resource needed to craft things, best thralls have also their own recipes.
Pet, fighters and archers can follow you and helping you fighting or just be placed to watch your base against enemies.
Bearers and some pets also have a lot of slot in their inventories to help you to transport your loot.
- Purges: under your character in inventory screen you’ll see a bar with a marker more or less at 75% of it. when the bar fills up to that marker you’ll be elegible for a purge. A purge is an event of 1 up to 7 waves of enemies attacking one of your bases.
It’s also a rare chance to capture almost uniques thralls with unique recipes.

The game don’t tell you all the things you can do, for example when you’ll place your first campfire nothing will tell you what you can cook on it.
It’s a try-fail-retry process to learn all things… but if you want just check
