Bunch of Qs

Shovel
Is the only way to get one waiting until you reach level 6-8 and have it randomly spawn in one of the general merchant inventory ? So far, that's the only way I've found one. Wish you could get one early (level 1-4) instead.

Item despawn
Does items ever despawn when dropped elsewhere than in a city ? Man, there's dead animal everywhere (plague death) and they seems to stay forever. Also, stuff you can't sell like recipes seems to stay on the ground forever. I also think dead highway thugs gear that the player haven't touched seems to stay there.... I'm getting worried about memory leaks / hog here.

Recipe
Yeah, devs should make recipe sellable. Like 1 gold in the same town. Maybe a few more gold in the next town over.

Fishing...?
Is it even possible ? There's some recipe that ask for fish yet I've never seen one ever...?

[Včelí medvídek]

Yoiu can buy fishes at Brynn fisherman and iirc in Denbrie too. No Idea if there is some freee source btu I do not think so.

Item despawning seems be bit mess indeed. in cities everything is gone overnight and in many locations I still see stuff that was there weeks or months ago.

I saw plenty Shovels for buy, can not say much about it.

And yeah all recpies and notes... My solution would be not even make them as items at first place, jsut put them directly to journal and that would be it. Atm just ditch them.

Crabs by the coast a long with sea gulls, sticks and shells (rare chance for pearls though when you open it)

Yeah about the shovel.... an hour after I made this post I got a random drop in a dungeon. Man, I must be the unluckiest guy ever. It took a long long time for me to drop one. So it's actually possible to get it as loot it's just super rare. There's also some for sale at some point in some vendors.... but again, it's the first time I see one and never saw one below level 6. Anyway, it might just be rare and I'm just unlucky i guess.

Fish.... thanks for the info. Maybe we'll get a fishing minigame at some point.

Item clean up - Ya, it's all over the place. I lost some useful stuff because it's so inconsistent.

Recipes / Notes - Agreed. What a great idea. I hate to pollute my environment.

Man speaking of Crabs, the minigame of them moving regardless of the turns is hilarious and third wall stuff xD

to answer all of your questions.

There are some random POI's that spawn with shovels, but thats pretty much just rng, besides rng the only real way to get shovels is just getting lucky from looting dungeons, i've seen them spawn in all 3 types and even in higher tiered dungeons, they're pretty much just a random spawn.

items will eventually despawn, i believe in past versions items never really despawned but in this versions i believe after i think a week of in game time stuff left on the floor will eventually despawn if you dont go near where the items were for roughly a week.

Recipes can be found from NPC's just from talking to them or eventually when you unlock the reputation level for a town in which you unlock their unique goods since usually alot of npc's, mainly from places that sell food sell a recipe to one of their shop specific foods. Though you can also find recipes from dungeons, usually in bookshelf rooms in vamp dungeons and also in random POI's like the Leprosarium with the healing salve recipe and the stone quarry with the repair kit recipe (tho ngl both of these are worthless recipes since they're so complex). For pretty much all recipes i dont believe selling them should be a thing since they're pretty much a gameplay device to make only your life easier, maybe you could sell them to the random treasure merchant in osbrook since he likes books but thats about it.

In the current build for the game there is no fishing, the most you can really do is go to the coast and then pick up and butcher crabs for crab meat BUT there is now 10000% proof that next update will include fishing, through data miners we have evidence that fishing will be coming to the game with different tiers of fishing rods and multiple different kinds of fish to catch, i believe this update will also come with the update that will be adding alchemy.

Hahahaha.... oh boy. I knew the game would add it. With all the changes the current patch added that subtly pointed toward it.....

Looking at the current balancing of the different crafting / cooking recipes I'd say I'm not looking forward to more crafting. The prices are all over the place and mostly make no sense. What's the point of a crafting system if not to make your life easier ? But then, why does it cost so much to make pretty much anything ?

Main issue is that alot of the really important recipes are hidden in secret poi's or hidden behind rng in dungeons, like i found a recipe for lockpicks in a dungeon when i was like level 25 and the recipe is extremely easy but i had so much money that it didnt really matter.

if i were to guess i'd say that devs are gonna expand on the caravan system with a settlement system so that you can do farming to get any crops or herbs you want, you can get more cattle besides just chickens so you can get good access to milk and other meats and likely other different types of things to make life easier since rn most of the recipes have way too big of an ask for the buffs they give.

Not so sure about that..
Sounds way too convenient for Stoneshard. Remember, you still have to choose between wearing a backpack or a cloak. Breaking random boxes take durability out of your weapon. Shouting cost you water. Etc.

Hold on. I think he has a point. Maybe we can have a backpack that is basically a rudimentary icebox. Like as long as you have ice, it greatly slows down the decay of any other food item inside it.

Cryomancy is a thing, so cold storage could be an idea.

Farming/settlement is a hard no. The Developers have been really clear that you will never have any kind of permanent land/house/farm. The caravan is as close as we will get. We may not like that answer, but they have been crystal clear about it.

if only we had sheeps or Goats too for Milk not just reliant on towns then Caravan life is Great. Might be expensive but Milk pretty in use too on good recipes.

There should be a guranteed shovel in front of brans cabin and possible alos the leposarium.
