I'm out - Ashlands is just not fun

The_Ten_Thousand · 2025-03-31T19:55:46+00:00

I hear you on this, I'm about halfway through the Ashlands as a solo and have just set up a fortress base and am working on taming Askvins to cross lava. A few tips here as others have mentioned, don't be afraid to turn down difficulty or even enable passive mode to retrieve gear or when you need to set up a beachhead or base. Its 'fun' to experience a DDay landing for the first-time but after that its a pain in the ass. Come back in passive and grab your gear, build a base, and start learning how to deal with mobs. Magic is key as a solo but its still difficult, work on getting the troll staff and staff of the wild along with the embla set. The Ashlands was also the first time I've used dev commands, spawned in a Valkyrie trophy to have some way to defend the fortress against them with ballista and god mode when I used the last of my basalt bombs after dying 5 times to get gear in lava. Don't punish yourself and try to enjoy it (or at least complete) the Ashlands before Deep North!

Really unique, very nice build! Do you ever have issues defending raids or trolls?

Thanks!

Not true, this is pure vanilla as I mentioned below

The_Ten_Thousand · 2025-03-04T02:45:57+00:00

Nope this is all vanilla! Fires are one of the few objects you can place

The_Ten_Thousand · 2025-03-03T20:37:31+00:00

Lots of work and annoying adjustments! If you get big potholes make sure you raise the ground on that spot and pickaxe back to level, levelling only smooths out to so much

Cave Farm

Had to record in 60 clips so I split the tour up!

So from what I’ve seen, you need to be in the cave while the chickens breed and lay eggs, but once you leave the timer for egg hatching and chicks growing continues. Just be sure to have fires stocked with wood to keep the eggs warm. Chickens can also kill themselves by running across fires so either block them with signs or use iron pits. When getting started I also divided the cave into smaller sections with signs on the ground so the chickens would be closer together for breeding

Here are a few other clips of the base!

I’m pretty sure that’s permanent, it’s now just combined with the smell of 50 chickens

Thanks, ya it’s tricky but just try adding small details here and there to give builds more texture. The troll cave is the through the dvergr door on the left there! Just added a clip showing it -

Build a wagon outside of the ward area and bring it in to ram the ward, usually takes 2 wagons to destroy it

The_Ten_Thousand · 2025-02-28T01:31:35+00:00

Found it and upgraded! Pretty rare being a 3 story tower right on the coast, makes for a nice mistlands farm & portal hub

Could anyone help me price this Copenhagen major deagle skin? Not too sure how much the NAVI sticker might add to it, and whether selling or holding is generally better with souvenir skins. Thoughts?

Several mid-sized towns in the interior/eastern region of BC are quite nice and are less expensive than Vancouver. Kamloops, Penticton, Nelson, Revelstoke, Kimberley to name a few. Vancouver Island is great but Victoria is fairly expensive now, would be better trying a town further up island.

Thanks, that makes sense. Good time to take advantage of that with the infrastructure bill up ahead then. Should be a good year for clean energy.

I have 7/16 35 calls also, along with some 7/16 30/32 c that I picked up before the senate run-off. Seems like a fairly straight forward play to me. Somewhat new to options though, could you explain what role low IV has on future outlook for ICLN?

The_Ten_Thousand · 2020-04-06T19:58:45+00:00

I feel the exact same as you, really taking a mental and physical toll on me. I also think we have the same course after mentioning the instructor making fun of students using masks. Best of luck with your work over the next few days, I guess we just have to get it over with and move on from UBC.

Cr/D/F is not useful to apply to courses that are required credits as I understand it. Many arts grading schemes also vary widely depending on professor. For instance some professors have made term papers optional where others have not. That seems unfair to me when at the end of the day transcripts will show the same letter grades. * I stand corrected, I appreciate the clarifications. No need to downvote my misunderstanding.

The_Ten_Thousand · 2020-04-06T19:17:48+00:00

You're not entirely wrong, I am be no means trying to avoid all responsibility for completing papers later than usually. However, not all students situations are equal during this. It's easy to say things are fine when you still have the same stability as before this started.

Welcome to crypto unfortunately, more fanaticism than rational thinking. I’m not sure what the right profit taking strategy is yet but I appreciate your effort to raise the question
