Finally found a palladium node in Cierzo:) time to farm the rare materials to craft better weapons

So it was worth to search all dungeons after all, i already had palladium from other regions and had some extra palladium spikes in my stash from buying them in Levant but this changed things a bit.
It's the blue chamber conflux path near the caves with lots of mana stone and near the exit to the main chamber with the ley line. It's at 12:20 in my video but it exists!
It's also a good idea to bring a plant tent, wait in the main chamber with the guardians and even cook in their kitcken:) and then farm again the node, this should spawn after 7 days of waiting.

The devs really put a lot of content in Cierzo

There's several more.

For example, Ghost Pass, it is located left down the 2nd main passage with x2 small horrors run through the water then up the ramp.

Wasting 7 days in one spot just to farm Palladium seems kind of... counterproductive.

Yeah palladium seems easy to come by, anytime I pick up spikes and I’d rather the scraps I just deconstruct it. Weights the same actually.

It's not as interesting for item crafting, you craft a weapon once for the weapon of choice and you lose interest.

Also it's actually a better idea to not hoard items because progressing too deep into the stash system before beating the game and you hard lock your game because the game can't load (too many items or data and it freezes).

Lol wtf, why would you waste so much time crafting garbage when you can just get the Wolf Armor or Golden Lich set?

Because of gamer mentality thinking that they need every little thing for the next thing ahead.

They dont.

This game drops items plenty enough and better armor require specific resources only found late game... Any resources you find in the 1st region is generally useless and only goes up to mid-tier grade.

But the master trader set with pearlbird mask is god.

This entire thread missed the point by a mile. Of course there are better items out there; of course you don't want to farm palladium for silver; of course there are nodes all over the place in the later zones.

I have a character on day 3 legitimately using a crescent greataxe.

Cost? 120 silver from the merchant in the starter town due to RNG spawning him with x2 shark bits, and knowing where palladium nodes are to blitz.

And that will take you a long way in the game, as well as allowing you to breeze through most of the starting zone.

And this is the problem with gamers today, no offence but if you use the best weapon, the best armor, the best back, make a ton of silver....all these using exploits, glitches, oversight from devs, really unbalanced mechanics (like caravan merchant) the game won't be very enjoyable and it will be very short.
I mostly did that for the recipies and i tried to find out how to craft most of them.

This is a RPG, exploration is one of it's main element because it's a sandbox RPG, still story driven but we never got a game like this and we won't get anything similar for a good amount of years.

If you ask me how fast i can finish the game i will probably say 10 hours
If you ask me how long i want to play the game....my answer would be .... Until i explore almost every map and every mechanic(crafting, cooking, alchemy etc).

Boink, thanks for the reply, that's the only place i didn't explore and i know exactly where it is:)
