Help! How to get pelt EARLY GAME level 23?

[cool skill]

Island map (Footpaw) single player. I always have to stress early game when asking questions because I always get suggestions based on how easy it is to get at higher levels. Despite not needing to even ask here if at a higher level.

Level 23 can make fur armor. Which requires pelt. But from starting location, where is the best place to go hunting for it? I have a boat. And some land pets that can protect me if traversing land.

If you go to the edge of the north/cold region where you aren't freezing to death, you can scavenge some pelts.

Pelt is best harvested in the northern regions from mammals... Though beavers have a chance of dropping it too, so take a strong dinosaur and some good armor and hunt some of those

[Charcharodonto]

pelt is abundant in the snow biome from mammoths, wolves and rhinos or yutis. but freezing is a real problem there so scouring the edges is the best option

You can hervest small amounts from sheep, megaloceros, equus, beavers, megatherium or the kangaroo. which can be found in the redwoods.

However at your level both zones are rather dangerous so always be on guard and don't venture to far in.

Gathering pelt is best done with a hatchet

OK so those should be doable at my level? I'm 25 so I made a pike.

at 25 it is going to be a bit hard. You have to kill things that are tough like mammoths and wooly rhinos in the north.

OK so maybe I should wait till I get higher? I was just trying to craft the fur armor so I can travel up north. The armor recipe is available at 23 to unlock. But maybe the ingredients for it aren't practical for this level? I can spend points on other stuff and hold off.

You can also get it in the redwoods. Just look for the mammals, not lizards. Look for megaloceros, megatheriums, gigantopithicus, and the like.

If you have scissors you can substitute with human Hair, which you can harvest from yourself if your hair is long enough

[EmberStar]

Sheep wool works as pelt if you can find a sheep, but taming them needs sweet veggie cake. Which requires honey and sap, and probably isn't super easy to make at level 25. If you're really desperate and very patient, you can also harvest your own hair with scissors. (And with scissors, wool is a renewable resource from tamed sheep. Once you have access to sheep and scissors, obviously. )

There's an area just south of the edge of the snowy areas on the west coast. Some people refer to it as the "Mosh Pit," because absurd numbers of creatures spawn there and usually instantly begin to attack each other. I've very rarely seen wolves join in, either because they spawned in the Mosh Pit or because they wandered in from the snow just to the north. If you start there and work east, you might be able to find wolves near the edge of the snowy areas without going so far in you freeze and die. The area is easy to find, just go up the west coast and stop at the floating ice.

The Mosh Pit is also a place to tame argentavis, carnotaurs, sabertooths, scorpions and even hyenadons if you really want one (and can get it out of the rolling barfight before it gets killed. You'll need to look up a guide on taming one though, they're a weird passive tame and would rather freak out and run around in a panic until they starve unless you tame them *just so.*)

[EmberStar]

Oh, and if you can - tame an otter. Having an otter on your shoulders adds heat/cold protection. They're living scarfs. Any otter will help, but higher level ones might give more insulation. (If nothing else they have more health and are less likely to get shredded by piranhas if you let them go fishing for you.) They'll also collect small amounts of pearls and black pearls when they hunt a fish, which you're going to need lots of later.

No, the ingredients are not too practical for a low level. It takes a LOT of of pelts to make fur armor. And the animals don't give you very much, even with increased gather rates.

Just make short excursions into the cold for now for the necessities. Take a raft up there with lots of campfires. Then you can jump off, gather a bit and then run back and get warm before you take much damage from the cold.

This requires obsidian which is even worse than trying to get pelt. Which I'm not even going to attempt since it's only in dangerous areas that can't be accessed at such low level.

OK. But I don't get the scissors thing. Since that is even harder to get than pelt.

OK. Yes I noticed the insane amount needed to make the fur armor. I'll just make due with leather. I tried venturing into the red wood forest with raptors and trikes, but got pretty massacred. Multiple pets passed out. Then while watching them some giant cat beast killed everybody.

So aside from the southern shores like Footpaw to Southeast Coast and Herbie Island, what level is a good time to start venturing northward inland. And where is a good place to start? Or should I just stick to going up the east or west coastlines of the mainland?

get a tough argentavis and go kill stuff in the cold biome. all the way west of main map and just north as it turns into the cold area and there are all those little glaciers. lots of pelt to be had there. and u can fly back to the big rock out of the cold area if u need to heal. also tintoberries and narcotics are the recipe for heal potions. also if u pick up a wolf to kill it it can attack u while being carried and they hit hard! seems they mostly hit when flying str8 or up a bit but not when flying down. easy peasy. :)
