Vanilla Feats newbie question

[dr4296]

Greetings All!

Myself and two friends just started playing on our private PVE server last night. Needless to say, we all played with barely a bathroom break until exhaustion!

One of my friends seemed keen on grabbing every feat he could. I tried explaining what I think is probably true for the vanilla (fresh from Stream) game:

One person can't possibly learn all skills. You'd max out youravailable points first.

Am I right?

My thinking was: You obviously would have an easier time with this game grouping with friends anyways, so the game is probably set up this way to encourage specialization as a way of customizing your character.

Thanks!

You can get more feat points by consuming fragments of power, but you get those in the end game. You will want the end game armor and weapons feats and will not have the points for those if you have tried to learn everything at lower levels.

The optimal strategy is to find a couple weapons you like in the stone or iron age and learn only those as you level. Don't try and learn most decorations until level 60.

Your friend can reset his feats drinking a yellow lotus or natural learning potion.

There is a limit to how many attribute points, and by extension perks you can get.

However you can learn all recipes (I think this is what you mean by feats?), because you can get more feat points by consuming fragments of power which some of the endgame bosses (particularly unnamed city bosses) drop. There is no limit to how many of these you can collect, although you need to be strong enough to handle endgame enemies.

Most of the weapon/armor recipes are just cosmetic variants, there is little difference between them in terms of stats. What matters more is the type of item and what the item made out of. Better material = considerably better item. Especially in terms of tools which I recommend you max out as soon as you can.

Stone -> Iron -> steel -> hardened steel -> Star metal
(Obsidian is kinda pointless iirc)
(on Siptah there is eldarium I guess? Im not familiar with Siptah)

Style of weapon also gives you different combat animations and effects. Find one that you like.

Also: Dont sleep out on thralls. Get good quality crafter thralls for your crafting stations by breaking them on the wheel of pain. The thralls will turboboost your production by considerably lessening the time it takes to craft stuff, and in some cases the quality of the item. In particular armorer thrall will also improve your armor a lot. Some named crafter thralls will also grant you new recipes not available otherwise.

This game has a MASSIVE amount of hidden knowledge that helps you a lot if you know it. It certainly doesnt hold your hand. Speak with players, ask for tips.

(Its very thematic that the knowledge how to craft basic steel was a secret that you just had to know or experiment until you find it. The game didnt tell you, although Im not sure if the upcoming journey system change will change this.
