We started fresh with enhanced resources, exp, food, stamina, and carrying capacity. I had built a base for everyone near the bat tower that had access to iron, all crafting stations, and fish traps for food. By the end of 7 or 8 hours two of my friends were off exploring the desert on their own and I was up in the nords village building a second base thanks to all the steel I got off of killing them.

Im farming for named slaves in the big noredic town but I have yet to come across any. I found a named cook and named fighter in the desert as well as a few named archers (I might get those later). Im using an ancient warhammer as my weapon. If I line them up I can take out 2 nords with 2 swings. Its kind of fun going into a group of guys and swinging the hammer to see them splatter apart after 2-4 swings and all just fall over. I get about 200-230 steel per run. The combat and crafting from this has leveled me to 50 where I can make my own vanir armor.

Endgame wise...

  • How do I level my fighter slave? I see him killing wolves around my house to keep it clean but he has never gained experiance.

  • How many combat slaves can I have at once following me around?

  • Should I farm other places for named slaves other then the vanir town? With my friends settings I can make a loop around the outer houses of the village and everything will be back by the time Im done.

  • If Im going solo without other players and no thrall, what weapon style should I use?

  • If I do end up trying to take down bosses with just a thrall, what gear should I give him and what kind of weapon should I use?

My plan is to get geared and then go back to kill any off the bosses for the achievements. We downed the spider boss and got her key. I want to take revenge on the tiger boss that killed me a few times. So far its tons of fun and Im enjoying myself.

Hey NickeKass,

Glad to hear you're enjoying the game! I'll give you my input on the questions you posted:

How do I level my fighter slave? I see him killing wolves around my house to keep it clean but he has never gained experiance.

  • He has to follow you to gain experience. Thralls who don't follow you won't gain experience, no matter how many enemies they kill.

How many combat slaves can I have at once following me around?

  • You can only have 1 follower at a time.

Should I farm other places for named slaves other then the vanir town? With my friends settings I can make a loop around the outer houses of the village and everything will be back by the time Im done.

  • There might be stronger NPCs elsewhere. Just sayin'

If Im going solo without other players and no thrall, what weapon style should I use?

  • That's really up to you. Play around with what you like. I like hammers for group fighting, because you can do a lot of really big swings. For single-combat I tend to go with a mace for armor penetration or the daggers to cause a lot of bleed.

If I do end up trying to take down bosses with just a thrall, what gear should I give him and what kind of weapon should I use?

  • Also up to you, but the stronger gear the better, usually.
