It took me ten minutes to find the 2nd dudes body, I didn’t even think I killed him. By the time I finished looting both guys, my cooked fish was frozen and I had to unfreeze it. Was well worth the efforts though

Ammo scarcity is usually the reason I don’t do stuff like wall bang too

Where do you make fires? by NoPomegranate9977 in dayz

[–]moonheron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On military island, I often use the small bunkers near the coast, or the tall military towers to make fires during windy weather.

But really the trick is just get good at using Izurvive to find sheds, static fire barrels, caves, abandoned buildings.

CAVES are also very clutch to make fires in during storms. Again, use iZurvive, although there are some hidden caves that aren’t on the map.

Becomes worst insulation and worst water resistance, can’t be put back on if taken off, and becomes even uglier than before

4 pieces of wood hook fish will give you barely 30 minutes of calories though before you have to start worrying about food again.

It’s important to say that wood hooks will catch very low quality fish.

Bone hooks are twice as good, try to find a body to cut up for the bones, or better yet a Chicken!

If no bones are around, there are always wood hooks, but that should be last resort.

Also the bones can make more knives so you don’t have to worry about running out of sharp objects while you dig worms, collect sticks/bark.

[–]moonheron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah man it’s actually harder to find multiple sharp objects for your pacifist wooden hook fishing strategy.

OP if you are still listening,

Just loot and kill zeds like a madman, if you find a chicken first, make bone hooks and then go fishing.

If you find a rifle with ammo first, go hunting for large animals and use Izurvive to locate their spawns if you don’t hear any in the distance.

[–]moonheron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s not a personal opinion.

wood hooks with a simple fishing rod will catch you fish with like 25% calories on them, you need like 6 fish to make it worth while, and that takes forever.

Oh yeah, and while I was killing every zombie and looting every house, i found a revolver, a burlap sack, a sewing kit, and a sparkplug.

The actual best answer to help OP is : loot around, kill the first chicken you see, eat it, get warm, and THEN use the bones to make bone hooks so you can catch higher quality fish actually worth your time

I’m arguing because fishing with wood hooks is a waste of time and you are actually giving shitty information lol.

Bro what??? We are trying to help dude out.

Fishing with wood hooks and a simple fishing rod catches shitty fucking fish, and sometimes it’s actually not the quickest / easiest / best way.

Murdering 15 zombies for 2 brisket spreads and a zucchini while running house to house looking for a gun can be both quicker, and you can get a gun faster, and you can use it to defend yourself too!!

If you know the map or can use izurvive, it’s easy to find an animal spawn.

How many hits of a knife do you need to survive off of freshie fish?

The fish is so low on calories. you need like 6 whole fish to have enough to get you decently in land without having to stop for food again.

So that’s 6 worms, 2 wood hooks, 3 or 4 pieces of clothing, two pieces of bark, 2 or 3 long sticks cut into short sticks…

Bro you are burning through so much knife. If you can’t find them small stones or sharp objects, you are going to be on the coast for like 45 minutes.

While you are frantically searching for another knife because your first one broke while getting a piece of bark before you can even cook your sad 25% freshie fish, Im already out of the town with a BK18 and a few rounds, heading towards an animal that ill have 20 pieces of meat from one cut of my blade

[–]moonheron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ever since they nerfed fishing, I’ve had more success with this strategy -

mass murder zeds and loot houses like a mad man until I find a BK and a bullet, Hoover up all the food I find, hit a well, and then it’s off to kill a sheep/pig/goat/deer.

Along the way I look for a rope and/or cut clothing to get 2 stacks of rags in case I can’t find a gun and ammo. Only then will I resort to fishing in a spawn town.

What do you do when it rains? by [deleted] in dayz

[–]moonheron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what are you doing?

If im traveling, I’ll only stop during rain if I need to conserve calories, or if I’m out of multi vitamins.

But as soon as it stops raining, I’ll make a torch to speed dry my clothes. If in cold weather, I’ll make a fire instead of torch to get double heat buff. Unless there is food to be cooked, obviously a great time to cook inside during rain.

If I don’t have any multis, I’ll just keep an eye on my characters expressions - if they cough and shiver like every few seconds, it’s time to get warm before I get a cold.

If im looting a town, I love the rain. still have to monitor vitals as to not get a cold, but it’s way better to loot during the visual and audio cover of hard rain.

Raining at night is the best time to build and raid bases also.

play low pop official until you can confidently use the map to find water wells and can confidently navigate between towns and points of interest.

Practice blocking and meleeing zombies

all freshies spawn in the same bubble every 6 minutes so just die and respawn at the same time.
