A creative way of decorating

[Sandman]

I learned this from a YouTuber named Rose, she is very creative when it comes to decoration in Medieval Dynasty.

You shoot a arrow or a spear in to a wall, and then you can use this to hang things on.

For example i have just shot a stone-arrow in to the wall inside my house, and then i filled a small basket full of flowers and then hang it up on that arrow.
It makes a cosy home with small detail like that. :-)

(Edited: It turns out that the arrow will disappear after about 1 day and the things you hang on them will fall to the ground..)

Issue is unless things have changed that arrow will despawn, dropping the basket on the floor

The arrows I shot into a target last week to hold up a deer skull despawned.
Do spears despawn, too?

[Morri]

Spears normally don't. Just arrows because the place would be littered with lost arrows otherwise (I guess).

I can not answer this, yesterday was the first time i tried it.
(Edited; yes, when i went in to day the arrow was gone and the basked was on the floor..)

We need hooks for the walls. We need lots of stuff but am going to wait for the new valley to see if any improvements to building and decorating have been made. One can only hope. There are so many cool items in the game that we could have that are not available like quivers, barrel lids, etc etc, a way to put things vertical easily like bows for hanging. It is such a terrible drag now to do anything but throw stuff around and hope it works. Makes me cranky.

There are hooks on the racks that can be used to hang stuff

And you don't have to drop and hope, you can drag items around using the mouse. Which is how you can hang items on the rack hooks https://youtu.be/ZM-6Lrx67z8?si=7QKfLWW0gAbRTDrE

I would really love it if, when you pick up an item, it shot out faint lines in all six directions -- up, down, and the 4 cardinal directions -- so you can see exactly where it's positioned in-world before you place that stone knife and knock over the rest of the table setting because it's not exactly where you thought it was!

I know Goldie can do anything but that is thousands of hours of concentration. I cannot pick up a bow and hang it on a wall hanger. It just does not work. The bow comes out horizontal and it will move around on the lateral plane but it does not go vertically. If one could pick it up at the top and have hang down, or pick up from the middle and have it be horizontal that would be an improvement.
My new favorite is dropping a scythe on the ground, it pops up into the air to about 5' level, twists around and flings itself back down on the ground about 6 feet from where I wanted it to go.
When placing items I am blind, am in the menu where I actually can't see the object or where it will go at all. I think I know where it should go but it's a total crap shoot. I guess that is how it was planned but sheesh, what a nightmare. And when you go to set something down like a cup, jug, plate, bowl, half the time it just falls on its side, or better yet, totally upside down. Not a good look.
But the very worst thing is that I can take a feather and push a pile of logs with it. Nothing has any weight. When you set an item down if anything gets even near it, it will fly off from where ever it was placed. This is nuts. When you place an object the damned thing should stay exactly where you put it until you move it. Period. I actually made a thimble push logs around. Does that make any kind of sense? Not a bit.

I love this game, I can do enough decorating to make my village look lived in but it is just such a time consuming process that works poorly or not at all that it really takes away from the game. I have completed thousands of hours and pretty high level building projects in ESO, have made big moated villages in Valheim, good sized bases in NMS so this is not my first rodeo. I shall continue to work on my building skills in this game but it is unnecessarily difficult, time consuming and frustrating as it currently stands.
Rant over.

Okay, so I went back and dropped a scythe and did manage to hang it on the side of a building, glory halleluiah, but it wasn't much fun and took a couple tries. I ain't no Goldie. Am going to work on the bow again. Scythe was easier than the last time I tried it so maybe I am just a klutz at heart but it is not an enjoyable process, which should be the goal for something so integral to the game...

Hi :-)
Thank you the tips about Goldie, i love to see as many different versions as possible to be able to get new ideas :-)

Seeing Goldie's builds will either inspire you or make you crazy. I see a great amount of lag with huge builds in this game so they do not come without consequences. It is really fun to see what folks can do that have a truly creative mind and massive skill level to match. One just needs to curb one's enthusiasm regarding some of the more complex stuff. Looking at you spear fencing... lol

Yea, it is to much for me, at least now, but i pick up some of the things i know i have the patience to do. :-)
