Too hard to find soft tissues

[Enzo]

I've been walking around mistylands a lot, but for me it seems like there is skulls so few. Its like everybody is telling that almost every ribbones got skull also, but not for me. I feel like its 1/10 of them have :D.
And trust me, ive been diggin both ends of those ribbones XD

That one i found, it was buried under mountain, but it surely was there ;)

I really feel it is little bit too complicated to find those, for real. Maybe they could make wishbone to reveal also soft tissues

You can also find them from the dvergr, though you may have to fight them for it or find abandoned outposts.

Yah, just kite baddies back to a Dverger spot.

Ooh, having the wishbone work for locating soft tissue would be rather nice.

The problem with wishbone is that it's an accessory, meaning you'd need to constantly hotswap it and wisplight.

or just use the mistblade, which duplicates the wisp effect.

I have the worst luck. I am averaging 4 ribs per 1 skull.

Roming Dverger also drop them sometimes, as well as Marble. (% drop chance unknown)

check thoroughly for the skull. it can partially clip through terrain and rock.

but i agree, not all ribs have skulls. i would say its maybe 25-50%, though, not 10%.

Yeah, high possibility for that %. Ive been just extremely unlucky with those :D

That doesn't really solve the progression problem though, since you need refined eitr to make it, and if the player is short on refined eitr, they should probably make the feather cape to be better able to find more. But Mistwalker is still on top of the priority list of course.

Just in case someone doesn't know, it's not a consumable resource so the limited availability shouldn't be a huge concern. Most of the new gear is not actually necessary to progress in the biome. Focus on the cape first. :)

Tbh until i got magic i used frostner, even after making most of the weapons. The only one i actually use is Demolisher and thats mostly to kill ticks, although it works good on seekers and gjalls if you land on them.

keep trying, and move swift. the entire outside of the map is mistlands. very doubtful youve completed more than 5-10% of it.

It's actually not that much. Far North and Ashlands wrap around the western and eastern edges almost a third of the way up (it might depend on world seed, but i suspect not).

If your playing on a long term world (which solo players usually are) I'd recommend only exploring one side, east or west, incase mistlands gets new content added like the other biomes did.

I've got stacks of the stuff. No idea what it's for, I've found a total of 3 black cores. Started on the ribs of my fourth giant (my experience so far 100% all have heads) because I care more about black marble, keen on getting a new build going.

Take 2 iron bars with you when you go exploring mistlands.

That way when you find a tower, dungeon or rampart you can put down a stonecrafting bench and simply dismantle the entire thing getting 500-1000 marble in just a few minutes.

It's the main reason i ignored ribs/skulls as i thought they were only for marble, and spent days hunting dwarves for flesh.
