Underwater Breathing

[Karr]

would it be possible to add an item that acts like a Water skin but for air?

This would give us another option to access the water areas a bit earlier, it could be refilled the same way as a water Jug/skin by using it while out of the water (IE while not swimming)

Also give it a max of oxygen it replenishes? 50? 75? so you would need to make multiples to stay underwater as to not make the food useless. (also works as an O crap button if your food runs out at the bottom of the ocean)

and as a Late tier item possibly a diving helmet that would boost your max oxy by a few hundred? 100?200? again as to not make the food uselss

nope not till scuba gear

[Luminia]

until then you gotta make lasarus chowder to increase your oxygen by 300%

There is already an item for diving ingame...its called Lazarus Chowder...and can be made fairly early in game progression, as soon as you unlock the cooking pot.

And the large farming plots.... So not very early game, right about the time you start needing pearls and oil

soto go into the water a sandbox game has to pigeon hole you into farming? that would seems to be poor decision imo

[stunner]

Ichythasaurus is early game water mount, you dont even need to knock it out to tame it. Use that to get to caves fast, no need for more oxygen.

this should never happen and neither should any type of scuba gear, makes the oxygen stat in game pointless and gives less diversity in character customization among tribes. You have lkazerus chowder nothing more is needed...

oh there will be scuba gear they are already working on it. They might even make something like this for lower tier people as well.

Longrass and Savroot require a medium crop plot, FYI, which you can get at level 25 (and from every other blue supply crate drop, apparently).

Not accurate...or very creative thinking either.

Anything that can be grown on Large plots will grow on Med Plots......

Also growing/farming materials needed is not the only way to get things ya need. The items could be traded for by a person of any level......

nobody has given a real reason why this wouldnt be a good idea.

what if you dont want to make farms? what if nobody wants to trade? you should just be denied acess to entire content? I dont play on PvP servers but I bet getting chowder from farming has its own problems.

Its not like I sugested a item that makes the water a joke, an item like a water skin that gives some oxy, and if you want to make 100 of them thats your choice, but its a choice and restricting choices is not really something that should be the sole factor in a sandbox game.

Also if each one weighed 5-10lbs you couldnt have that many. Plus at 200 oxy I know that only gives me a short amount of time in water so asking for it to give 50-100 oxy isnt gamebreaking

You are missing the point. No one is saying it is a bad idea, they are saying you can already do it!

And stop and think for a second, you think that scuba gear is going to be a low level item? No it is going to be lvl 50+ most likely.

Just cook the damn food like everyone is suggesting.

[Karr]

I guess there is no reason to add anything new to the game because everybody already does stuff a certain way?

Im glad you arnt developers

[behemoth227]

You've been given multiple, workable, and currently available solutions, as well as information regarding others that are coming. This is a poor idea because it is completely unnecessary. Don't want to farm to make the chowder? Fine, tame a icthy. Don't want to tame an icthy? Make the chowder. Don't want to do both? Thats fine too, dump all your level points into oxygen. Still not good enough? Then you get to wait for the scuba gear.

You have solutions, you have answers, refusing to take advantage of those answers and stick to your precious air sack idea is your own hangup. The only thing keeping you from those deep water resources is yourself, and your refusal to adapt.
