Completed NOMAD Challenge!

[earthmom]

This is really a fun one. You learn a good deal about the regions - I visited a couple of areas I'd never seen before and learned much more about how the regions connect. BUT I got side tracked :D

I killed a bear for the first time ever (SO MUCH MEAT!!) and then stuck around to harvest and cook it all and gorged myself for days with a full food bar (unheard of, but then again I usually play Interloper Mode and that food bar is never full!).

That led to killing a couple of wolves, and then I actually got my fourth and hung around to wait for the hides to cure and took 25 hours to craft my first ever Wolf Coat! Wooooot - these are the BEST! You are so much warmer and drier, and the coat deters wolf attacks (not entirely, but a percentage of the time).

So after all of that fun I realized I was still on a challenge and I got it finished. :D I think I may have the record for the LONGEST time to do this challenge - 93 Days 10 Hours and 7 MInutes :D lol

Took my sweet time but oh I did have so much fun!!

:D

This was a tough challenge for be because I got a little bored. Nice work in persevering and completing it! I want to go back but I'm trying for my 200 day achievement first.

(Also - yeah, bears really do give an unbelievable amount of meat!)

Congratulations! We're glad you had fun.

Nice Job!! I died the first two times I tried a challange. You are obviously doing better me. LOL. I need to try the Nomad challenge. Sounds like fun.

I had no internet today so I restarted the Nomad Challenge and I'm definitely enjoying it more now that I know the PV map a little better.

EDIT: I expected my offline saved game to be synced up with the cloud...but that hasn't happened. Is there something I need to do to force the sync? Or am I just confused about how saved games work for TLD?

EDIT2: I found the saved games folder, and there *is* a sub-folder for my offline challenge...but it's empty. I don't quite understand how saved games work, I guess. Why would there be a sub-folder, but no files inside?

Gratz! I got my run in 50 days (not sure how manny hours/minutes.) I got reallllyyy boooreedd sitting there, eating, drinking, passing time, sleeping, and repeating.

You always spawn in the PV farmstead? (that's where I spawned anyway, LOL) I started with the radio tower, from there I went to the barn, then to the Rural crossroads. I had NO Idea how to get to skeeter's ridge, so I went to coastal highway. stayed at the abandoned lookout, then quonset, then crumbling highway basement, then the church, then the lighthouse, (that's all the DP locations for that challange, right? XD) then I went to Mystery Lake, I hit the dam, then the forestry lookout, then the trapper's cabin, then the camp office. then I was off to Pleasant Valley for Skeeter's Ridge. I stayed at the barn then made my way through the birch forest (no idea where I was.) and got my way to the car crashsite thing, so I knew where I was so I dicided to find the rope to TWM and then go to skeeter's ridge from there. (from the rope it's pretty easy to find skeeter's ridge.) so I found it at about 2 hours of daylight left. then I was off to TWM, the climb to TWM was rough because I was 20 pounds overweight. I finally made it up (after resting at the ledge) and then once I entered TWM I got tackled by a wolf, I didn't have a knife (yeah ikr, worst luck ever >.<) so the wolf won the fight and walked off with me at about 10% condition, popped a stim and made a mad dash to the mountaineer's hut. finally got there and then won the challange

Hope you liked my little 'story'? xD

I like your story! TWM was my last stop as well.

It is a little boring when you're just passing the time, but I found it to be relaxing, and the push to keep moving on was great. I was amazed by how much loot I found all over that I just passed up. Well except for that huge bear! :D Wow - meat meat meat meat meat. Sad that this is the only time I left a bear hide to cure so far, and I didn't get back to use it because I kept on with the Challenge.

I just really loved this whole challenge.

OH - here's another little bit of my story - I have NO Idea how I managed to do this, I was sleeping and passing time in the Quonset and took off. After leaving that region entirely, I looked at my journal and I was at 2.7 instead of 3 days back at the Quonset!!! :o :o :o

I couldn't even believe I had taken off without one last look at the journal but sure enough, I screwed that up. :D Had to backtrack all the way back and stay a bit longer there (shaking my head).

That's why they call it a Challenge :D

Lol! I did the same thing twice, I left the barn then I looked at my journal and then realized it said 2.9 days survived at that location. the same thing happened at the rural store. I left and crossed the bridge then realized I only had 2.7. xD
