Question about Tech Points

[Wanderlust]

My wife and I play on our own dedicated server. Are there enough tech points so that the two of us individually can pick up every tech, or should we strategically split the tasks so that she has enough points to make armor, and I have enough to make weapons, for example?

No, you can't get enough points to unlock everything at once, you have to pick and chose which ones are important to you. You can reset your tech points and leave some lower level stuff locked to save some points when you are higher level and want to unlock more high end recipes.

There's plentyyyy but they need to make The use of Q so we can spot the darn tablet/ steeles.

I'm lvl 60 and only found:

I made more than 30 attempts at one, and still fail due to the jankiness of how your character jump and stay put on tiny tiny brick footholds. In the end I had to abandon as it's located in a deadly zone...

At L60, with all tablets unlocked, you can have most stuff unlocked. I hate the jumping puzzle ones tho that has the birds that pull you off and drop you. That tech point sucked

Yuck, I hate jumping puzzles. I didn't know this game had any, I haven't encountered one yet. As a recovering GW2 player, I hate jumping puzzles, I have always hated jumping puzzles, they reward skills I didn't sign up for when I paid money for a game. I also hate spiders and heights. If I had to do a jumping puzzle over 1000 foot spiders, I'm sure I would die of immediate cardiac arrest.

I'm surprised that a game like this, where standing still on the same spot on any surface and fighting the inherent jankiness is already a challenge worthy of an Achievement, they would gate character progression behind jumping puzzles. Did I mention I hate jumping puzzles?

What I did was reset my knowledge and I didn't chose to learn things like individual stone/bone weapons/tools/etc. It will auto force you to learn some old things you don't need anymore, but you will have enough points left over to choose all the new things you need to learn in the current tier.

Reset tech points, then only select what you need, e.g. if using bronze you don't need bone tools, armour or weapons, etc. You can save quite a few points on not wasting tech you don't use anymore.

Also, there's a user friendly feature, if you select bronze first (once initially unlocked), the tech tree will unlock all the needed predecessors for you and you don't waste any points.

so, at each tier of the game....ie. leather/bone, bronze, iron, etc., you'll likely want to buy all of the relevant tools/armors/weapons you might use. But once you get to the NEXT tier, you don't need ANY of those.

- So I recommend each time you really unlock a new tier (tools/armor/weapons, and maybe base building material), you should spend the very cheap point reset cost and reset your tech tree and skip over the lower tiers.

- you can also use the tech tree reset to skip past some building buys. Granary, beehive, well, rain collector, etc. You could just craft like 15 of each of those (MORE than you'll ever need), and then reset the tech tree and don't buy them.

- Finally, you can coordinate with people you play with to skip certain techs. My friends bought the mask decoration table, so I just use theirs. If you share a base and share tribesmen, you just need to have the recipe to queue up the crafting, and your friend's tribesman could actually start crafting the item, even if they don't have the recipe....so you can absolutely split the tech costs.

- And a warning, you need to have a recipe in order to repair the item. So if your friend has armor, but you don't, and they gave you iron armor - you can't repair it. You could hand it to them, they could repair it, and give it back though....depending on how much you play together with the people you play with, that might be worth it, or it might not.
