Current players - a word to the wise from a player who wishes they were wiser faster

Take notes of where/how you acquire special items as you come across them. If I read the last developers notes correctly, once again our savegame files will become invalid upon the next update. So take note of where the goodies are so you can streamline your next play through. This would allow you to only do those quests needed to get desired weapons, armor, items, spells, recipes and relics before jumping into new awesome content. It's too late for me, save yourselves! :)

Locations of most important items in the EA are on the wiki already.

The main thing about items such as weapons, armor, spells, and recipes is not finding them, but fulfilling their prerequisites.

For example, the best bow in EA requires 15 Dex, so you'll need to reach Level 15 before being able to wield it effectively.

The second important thing is that a significant source of items such as jewelry and potions is random drops from night-time Wyrded enemies. Which are by definition unpredictable.

Thank you, that's comforting news as I look forward to the next release. Very good point about items and such having experience prereqs. Also, I hadn't realized the potential of farming night-time Wyrded enemies. Am going to slap on my low light goggles and go hunting.

Follow on - does anyone know of a good farming spot for Ethereal Cobwebs? I now have way many more Unidentified items than I can unwrap...
