Cant unlock iron ingots

[Grim]

Im on the quest to build the castle throne but it requires Iron ingots I have over 900 iron in the furnace but it says unknown recipe so WTF do i do now?

[Jubblator]

Hunt the V that unlocks the Iron ingot recepie, its a Bandit king about lvl 38

[Grim]

hm i thought it was a hunting unlock, but i have an other problem, i hunted all i can, and have all "best" armor i can craft, but i'm stuck at lv29 gear, and so that dude is blacked out and i can't track him. em confused what i missed, i really think i did all i needed to do... ohwell EA eh :D

Yea the progression will kill the game if it remains gating things like this.

It's how you progress otherwise if you could simply craft anything you want at any time people could skip early game content to get high level gear and then go back with it on earlier content at no risk.

You can get to at least ~35 gear level, just need to collect some research books with "merciless" variants of your current gear (they drop randomly from previous bosses/chests/even mobs AFAIK). But yeah, I'm kinda in the same place and the game gets noticeably slower at this point, at least until you can get iron weapons + new armor (I hope).

First hunt the one that unlocks explosives , the bandit camp is closed with doors , took me 2 hours to do it .

You can already skip content by beating bosses. Gating the servants and building behind a long tutorial is a bad idea and terrible for replayablity.

Where did I say build anything anytime? I simply said the current progression gating is not fun, and makes replaying extremely painful.

I'm at 27th level and once I realized I have to grind rare random drops of all things to progress to iron gear I went "no". After roaming for all that time I only got 1 recipe for a chest. Comically, it easily goes over 2 hour steam refund playtime because of 1.5 hour servant rising time.

btw you can break the doors with the Bear transformation

I'm kinda confused. I've done no real grinding at all and I managed to get to and beyond the Bandit King no issue. Are yall like not using the research table or something? Just following the V people you unlock tons of stuff, and a lot of humans drop papers too.

THIS

i go a couple of ingame nights into the bandit camps for the paper and turn them into recepies on the research table and hunt down the low level bosses again because their higher drop chance for books. its not that grindy.

[Dead Goat]

What do you have your loot settings at. Ive spent hours kiling bandits and farming all of the paper zones and have managed to get 200-130 paper. These recipes are not really useful considering they are not iron.

The biggest thing that will help new players is to not build your castle right at the entrance but go much muh further north before building.

i mean i have the best "what i can craft" not the best in this game ^^ should have stated that better. and i found the dude i needed to kill for iron ingots and sort, was not even looking, just by exploring. so i have iron ingots now.

just kill the bandit king man ffs
