bit harder than you might think, as we don't have the built in tools to do that currently

#

the end of the tutorial already forces you to engage with the content book so im not sure this is needed

#

could definitely rewrite parts of the quest to make the cave stuff more clear

#

i just dont think it needs to force you to use the book

#

Doing a cave isn't going to fix the issue of lacking gear

#

You're taking one issue and associating it with an entirely different, unrelated issue

#

Chests do not have a disposition to give you better gear. You can get equipment from a whole lot of stuff

#

i already said we could change some of the quest stuff to emphasize the existence of caves more

still think we should remove the caves from the quest book entirely ... or maybe just reveal them in the book as you find them ... keep them in the world as cool exploration points with good lewt ... and boof it

#

tbh tho we might have way to much quantity in caves and not enough quality

#

expecially way too much in relation to how fast quests propel you through the leveling process

As someone who has extensively talked about this and single-handedly leveled more than one class the past few months to test this out I can say with absolute certainty that doing caves as part of the gameplay loop absolutely sustains you from 1-100

#

It definitely fixes the issue of lacking gear

#

If you don't have the gear to fight mobs then doing a cave which requires you to fight mobs isn't really a viable solution

#

anyways that's not the real issue. I'm not opposed to this, just the idea that this is some magic healing elixir type shit

You either get this or new players who either get stuck at an impossible boss with gear twenty levels below them or spending emeralds on overpriced gear on the market thinking that there isn’t an easier way to get them

Idk it kinda solved it for me

#

Consistently, several times, without fail

#

The player needs to constantly do caves alongside leveling up to upgrade their armor

#

I have directly proven that this works
Really well, actually

#

If I had free time I could level up another new class right now and document the results more extensively

#

But this is just me describing my recent experiences, caves are a physical manifestation of a lifesaver when it comes to obtaining gear for the average new player

#

To be honest I’m actually convinced that caves are part of the regular gameplay loop because I have no idea how people survive without them

#

Sorry, that was a loaded assumption
They don’t.

#

If I see one more player here asking for help for a boss while using a level 15 weapon in midgame I’m going to lose it
