South

[covert sand]

The other week, I opened the south.

I visited Shallow Lake once. And it'd be great to venture there and daringly to other locations.

Whats a good character build to survive and gather? Is Gunslinger armor (bp3 lv) good enough?
I have only a couple T5 guns but no bench to craft and only t4 repair table. I have some t4 guns but no lemat.

my spirit is 86 I think and only had issue with big bear at shallow lake. ofc my spirit was lower then around 79.

Ideally, I want to go to Ash location and maybe chromite mine.

Yeah gunslinger lvl3 is great armor for South

[quiet forge]

So thats the only armor we could use for south now

[covert sand]

Probably can use others. But I asked if that armor was good for me to use because i have it.

Just be aware now with temperatured environments appropriate armor is necessary as well as certain food/beverages too.

The constant swarm of attacking animals can drain you in the south-west territories if you don't bring proper weapons and clothing. Bandits, piasas, and player bots along with these animals will drop you if unprepared. From what I've observed rare Gunslinger or epic clothings look like the best to use. Cowboy and ranger clothes can also be used. Usually I take trench gun or winchester 1892, schofield pistol prob fine also. Don't forget you can eat food and drink to survive also.

Thanks. I have high spirit.
And even higher now. Soon will be level 90 spirit.

Do you mean the random animal attacks? When I went to Shallow Lake wasnt too bad, if i recall right.

Not sure what the location will be now with update. ofc i can bring special food for animal attack if need be.

85 spirit is plenty
yeah the black Wolves and jaguars @covert sand

[covert sand]

thx yeah

[woven robin]

I think 90 is needed in the south now

[storm ravine]

just went there w/my winchester 1892 @woven robin that gun makes 50 or 60 possible

[woven robin]

Didn’t say you have to have 90. What I mean is that 90 spirit will keep all the animals from attacking you. It used to be 85 but they raised it to 90

[storm ravine]

Oh kk gotcha 👌

[covert sand]

I cleared Shallow Lake no sweat with Rev carbine and prob a colt oh and eng saber. Likely taking just saber and Rcarb with me. to save slots for resets. The rss and loot is delicious!

wearing gunslinger armor

[hardy haven]

I'm going to the south. Is there storage available in the south, like at Rocky Pass or the Indigenous tribe? If so, where?

[naive axle]

You can use interfluve after you've cleared it... Just like stone outpost...

Learnt this today...

[hardy haven]

yeah same here. thanx

[kindred badger]

Like the other bandit outpost you dont need to completely clear it. Just so far you can safely walk to the first chest

[naive axle]

I love to clear outposts... It's fun.. and the loots ofc
