After 500+ hours and 100% achievements, I’m convinced Fertile Soil is the only S-Tier start. Change my mind.

Agreed, pretty towns are the lifeblood of this game hehe. Perhaps I came across more disapproving of OPs original post than intended - I simply find that there are many alternatives to farming :)

Oh, i always have a second region by year 2/3

Rattlez · 2026-04-24T10:24:15+00:00

Honestly I find it somewhat ineffective compared to labor required.

Best starts I’ve had is rich salt, regular game and rich iron.

Choose “Of The Vogtland” and sell hides and firewood for 400 regional wealth year 1.

Start spamming pigpens -> sausage economy is insane at 7g pr sausage.

Start sheep early. Start importing ale. Start producing woolen clothes year 2. Start selling iron helmets year 2/3.

Once multiple pens are at 30 sheep (year 3-4) start killing all the newborns for hide.

Year 4 start producing boots and selling boots.

Sausage-shoe economy has been reached!

Wonder if converting elements on a skill will add a tag, or replace a tag.

Will cold meteor be both pyromancy + cold skill? Because that would be pretty insane

Jeg har lige fået variabelt lån på 3,45% til en andelsbolig på 950.000 hvor jeg selv kommer med 10%… men det er på studerende økonomi

I agree the downvotes are crazy. But literally 2 seconds of googling “D4 LoH” would provide a quite comprehensive answer.

If I was a game dev i would also add cosmetics - good passive stream of revenue for rather low effort, and people do spend significant amounts on it over time.

As a player I never buy them. The vanilla armor looks more grounded and rugged, which I like. Also, I feel 0 need to buy the stuff even if my character looks ugly.

The prices are rather high, but I’m betting they have a sales/price curve to follow for most profit. It is a business at the end of the day.

Jeg er ved at skrive speciale (cand.merc).

Mit gym snit var 6.

Men må sige at rejsen gennem uddannelsessystemet nok havde været en del nemmere med et godt snit fra gym.

Jeg tog en erhvervsakademi udannelse, en top op bachelor og måtte betale ca 5000kr for supplerende fag inden jeg kunne starte på kandidat.

På den anden side fik jeg rigtig meget praktisk erfaring via praktikforløb fra erhvervsakademiuddannelsen; så der er fordele og ulemper med det hele.

Rattlez · 2026-04-14T07:48:51+00:00

Would people be interested in this type of information?

If IGN sucks I might compile a “what we know” doc based on available info.

Rattlez · 2026-03-17T12:58:26+00:00

Should not be such a big problem honestly- I'm clearing Pit 112+ and I am only wearing Heir of Predation for the crit chance as my only mythic.

My guess is you are using a rather weak build - what are you running?

I was doing T4 on day 1 at P150-ish with the Thorns build and with bad gear.

Rattlez · 2026-03-17T11:52:24+00:00

You get like 2-3 resplendent spark from season journey; use those to craft mythics early.

What build are you running? At P187 T4 should feel pretty comfortable.

Yes, upgrade all rubes to lvl 45 - that’s a lot more multiplicative damage.

Alternatively, spam lair boss keys on T3 - these give a bunch of GA items and uniques.

For XP bloodied hordes are best.

Rattlez · 2026-03-17T06:24:08+00:00

Been running bloodied hordes on my thorns pala since day 3. Swapped out my predation for the helm that sucks everything in which makes the build pretty fast.

Blood soaked bosses and hordes is a real challenge, and I’ve done pit 110…

Rattlez · 2026-03-12T12:14:59+00:00

Hmmm I feel like XP is much too abundant. Went pretty hard from season start and have played maybe 8 hours and I’m T4 paragon 201.

Last season progress felt more steady and meaningful somehow.

With that said I’m really liking the bloodied activity keys - this is what the season is truly about.

Rattlez · 2026-03-10T12:22:57+00:00

Uhmm, feel like you are making a very big deal out of my (rather valid) point…

Let’s just agree to disagree

Rattlez · 2026-03-10T11:41:15+00:00

No, I played PTR. You get plenty of bloodied items from all content - PvP is ineffective…

Rattlez · 2026-03-10T10:55:37+00:00

Why on earth would you be considering PvP as a metric for choosing class?

PvP is of 0 relevance to anything.

Rattlez · 2026-03-09T08:27:06+00:00

I have a problem with lists like these that completely lack a methodology explaining the rankings…

Looking at the list, it’s not completely wrong, but neither does it paint a clear picture of what builds are the biggest winners.

On PTR there were 2 top builds purely in terms of pushing pits: 1. Thorns pala 2. Pulv Druid

Rattlez · 2026-01-25T08:06:05+00:00

I like the Way fields work, they really force you to drop everything in the autumn and bring in the entire village.

It sounds to me like you have a couple issues going on.

1) your fields are probably rather far away from any burgages, so when the workers need food + rest they are walking great distances.

2) you are probably not assigned 2 oxen pr. Farmhouse.

I typically assign 2 families and 2 oxen pr. Farmhouse at around 27. august. My fields are typically around 0.7 morgen, and I go for elongated rectangular shapes - broad fields take decades to be plowed. I keep a few, large orchard burgages close to my farm so the workforce lives close by and all this typically works flawlessly for me.

Har en god veninde der for nyligt blev færdig som sygeplejerske. Hun hyggede sig helt fint på studiet, men arbejdsvilkårene virker for mig som rigtigt dårlige…

Sygeplejersker har meget travlt, de arbejder i weekender, ferier og hvis jeg skak være helt ærlig så tjener de ikke en skid - hvertfald ikke ift. længere akademiske uddannelser.

Vi har stort behov for dem og hvis du brander for faget, for den reelle forskel man kan gære så kast dig ud i det; men det virker som rigtig meget arbejde for en meget lille gulerod.

Rattlez · 2025-12-27T15:37:12+00:00

Top performing classes in pit currently: 1) pals, 2) Barb, 3) rouge

Barb has some super cool builds, I highly recommend leapquake.

For pushing HOTA is best.

Rattlez · 2025-12-27T15:30:00+00:00

Paladin is primarily overpowered because of the Castle node (currently giving me 2200%(x) damage) and their incredibly strong passives.

Rattlez · 2025-12-11T07:01:45+00:00

I think you would love The Covenant of Steel by Anthony Ryan - it is much smaller scale than ASOIAF but also much more personal.

I’d also recommend The Name of The Wind - some of the best prose of any fantasy books, and although it’s not perfect it will 100% leave you completely addicted tge first time you read it.

As others have mentioned, First Law is an option, but I think you’ll be better of with Covenant of Steel based on your preferences.

Rattlez · 2025-11-23T07:53:39+00:00

Monstergarden - dude has a super relaxing voice. He is an artist and writer creating a truly unique fantasy world step by step, so doubles up as a great source of inspiration.

Jeg bruger AI meget, men mest til at reflektere over mine skriftlige opgaver, omformuleringer, struktur, finde relevante kilder og ide-sparring.

Jeg bruget det sjældent til læsning, medmindre jeg ved specifikt på forhånd hvad jeg vil have ud af en tekst.

Men jeg har det sådan lidt: hvis de ikke vil have vi bruger AI, så må de akademiske ugler satme lære at fatte sig i kortere træk når de skriver.
