Able to gather resoruces?

[Dreaguh]

Are we able to find wood/iron and such or are these things we have to buy? Also curious if we get a place to put our things safely. Soo many books weighing me down

[OlMaltelO]

there are definitely iron ores to mine, not quite sure about wood, but would assume so? and no, currently no character storage.

There are tons of ingredients to collect and lots of recipes for alchemy and cooking (and maybe crafting too?).

Yeah I've been playing a bit, and so far the only thing I gather are flowers/plants I wanted to try to work on an archer so need wood, but I can only buy a limited amount.

You... WOOD assume so.

Yes, for now you can gather for example Iron however we have to admit that the iron sources aren't exactly... well visible on the map. We'll address this in the future, but yeah, there are some iron sources.

You can't gather wood except for various containers and some pickups in the world - but it's something we will definitely address in the near future :)

Please do, I wanted to play an archer, but the lumber factor is making it extremely limited at least early on, arrows break wayyyy to much, and It doesn't seem like we can scrap broken arrows for wood or to just fix them. At this rate it doesn't feel like using the bow is very viable.

Yeah so we need wood to make arrows.... Why cant we gather wood from trees?

SO I have to search the map to get wood to make arrows? Really?

Please fix this asap... How can we play as a archer if we cant make arrows... This seems hugely broken.... Or am i missing something?

If you want to store items like crafting materials just sell them to any of the shops. They will stay in the buy back menu, so you can use them as storage. The buy back prices are the same as the sell prices, so no need to worry.

Because its early access and they didnt get a chance to implement it… would be my guess

How do you find iron tooth? For acts of kindness quotes? I need it too make a potion

[QuailLover]

There are several places where you can chop some wood. One of them is in the Horns's Castle.

Kill Red Caps, those little jumping bastards. I hate them. :-D

For a game that isn't crafting focused, I feel there are just too much "stuff". Sure, you can spend ages sorting it into storage to deal with the weight issue or use vendors as suggested above, but with so many different ingredients the inventory still becomes quite a mess.

It may be too late to do any drastic changes but I personally feel the entire thing can be streamlined somewhat. The different ales / meads / etc are already used as a single item type 'alcohol' and while it may lose some flavour, reducing ingredients to their categories in the inventory might make it less of a chore. (Doesn't help flicking through inventory seems to be a frequent cause of crashing for me).
