• Survive

You can search through every other container and I recommend you do since you'll need to buy a money sack, map, and more.

Well now that you are as free as the day you were placed on this planet. Host be praised. You will need food, shoes, weapons, and basic starting equipment like a map and waterskin.

Get familiar with the town and all the containers and search them for anything u can sell or use. Pelts are a nice find. Maybe a linen shirt if rng is on your side. I try and go through town in one path so i can search every container and not double back to miss a chance at a sale before they head to the tavern.

If you find 33 crowns, then you could check out the blacksmith if you need a stabby tool, or maybe a cudgel from the carpenter. If no one has any decent enough weapons for sale, a map and waterskin are so useful for planning on what to do while everyone else is drinking and you are cold and afraid.

Maps at current moment are 12 crowns and waterskin is 23 crowns so that's reasonable. If you aren't wearing shoes, u will take some damage from walking around but it wasn't enough to be crippling with natural healing.

Generally I look for a field so I can get the herbs out of the way and maybe I'll find a grave or some fight between the locals to capitalize on.

Learn where the natural wildlife is, avoid them while you are naked, and lure brigands onto them. Now you may have some success, at first many failures, but soon you too will be the princess in the woods you've always dreamed of while watching movies as a kid. Jogrim is the best princess don't at me.

If you get 3 cleavers of falchions, that's 200 crowns or potentially a nice sword u didn't have to pay for. The repair cost will always be less than buying it out, so thank the Host for your luck. If fortune smiles upon you and you've gotten some Thyme and Spearmint, then you can find agrimony and fleawort at the mill reliably enough. EZ turnin for leeches and pocket lint.

If you don't have basic equipment and feel comfortable raiding the lowest level human dungeon then points of interest may have just what you need. Even if it is a camp there's a chance at a chest and you could find maybe some hay or something better. Still fear those at the camp, but it's still worth a shot.

When it's a matter of survival, everything helps.

The skills with no items or money can be quite the choice ahead of you. You could build into your dream setup but what if you don't get the books to unlock it before u find shoes?

Combat mastery is great to explore since the first ability 'Seize the initiative' is an attack that makes u better, and your enemies worse.

Don't feel bad about saving your points til you find a weapon u want to use. It's a risky play but if you are Arna for example, and you think you'll go sword and anything else, then that's a safe bet early game for 1 point.

Ok so now you've gotten some crowns, you aren't naked, and you have a set of lockpicks. Time to start poking into the average dungeon that is pissing off the town's elder. Darn grain thieves.

If you defeat the dungeon boss but don't turn it in with the elder or accept it as a contract then you could sleep at the inn to save and reload the game. The reason to load is so that merchants will reset their goods and the dungeon will repopulate with baddies. You don't accept it as a contract (or rather I don't personally) since it gives you a 4 in game day window to turn it in. You may want to run it for a week, so that timeline could mess with your plans.

I feel that after a few runs you should have some nice pocket change, maybe a bow, and some other food and first aid to help you out.

By around level 3-4 I feel the first dungeon has provided what it can and then I have 2 options before me.

I can then start to raid the 2nd human camp, or explore more points of interests. Depending on your character both will be fun options, but depending on what you want, that will guide your path.

I won't spoil whats to look for at different points of interest but now you are well on your way to conquering the world, or dying beaten to death by clubs naked in a field.

Well that's it. Enjoy taking this game and making it even harder for those wanting to explore and appreciate every bit of grace the Host gives you.

I have a ton of fun doing this, and with any luck, you will too.
