Bone Fragments in Early Game Seem Helpful

[Maroliver]

You can double your armor from 2 to 4, the club can be upgraded twice if you have a tier 3 workstation, I'm not sure what the cape does but you can make a cape with bone fragments, etc. The bone fragments seem helpful. I haven't even fought the first boss yet. Too bad skeletons can be difficult, especially rancid skeletons. Some players told me before that you don't need bone fragments in early game, but doubling your armor rating seem useful.

well if you are a bit of a explorer and notice a certain landscape feature you can find a fair number of bone fragments in the meadows.

If you fully upgrade a club with bone frags you don't need a bronze mace and can jump straight to iron mace when you need it. Save your bronze for shield, pick and axe then move on.
It's a handy trade-off if you get plenty of frags.

As for armour, only do it if you have ample mats. Extra armour is always good but an extra 2 or 4 is still carp if you come across a 2* drauger archer and aren't wearing bronze anything.

also noteworthy is the fact you can build your Club skill upon crafting your first Torch, you can use it as a weapon, plus it provides a small bit of Fire Dmg. its usually how i gather my leather scraps while looking for a place to set up camp.

This is all good advice. I upgraded my club to level 2 and maybe will go to level 3 with it.

Indeed, blunt is underrated early game. Setting greylings on fire and watching them run around is great sport.
They fear fire is an understatement,

yeah. Doing my hardcore run with the expert mode mod and instead of raiding crypts( since id die fighting all the skeletons) im digging up the mass boat shaped graves for bones, to upgrade my stuff.

[Maroliver]

So level 2 club early game is a good idea? Maybe even level 3?

Yes

bone fragments are awesome. If only there were a way to get LOTS of them :P

kidding aside, the basic club fully upgraded can beat the 3rd boss. I had to do that when he camped my corpse.
