    Speaking as a private server and solo player, I adore #4. As a "starter base" I've used it nearly every playthrough.
    Though I usually graduate to the Highlands and Jungle for larger bases as I reach end game.
    It's a nice spot to get established, and it really delivers on the tropical island aesthetic; if you're like me and hate the desert aesthetic as a home.

    For a starter base, I like a spot anywhere close to Sinner's Refuge. It is one of the easiest places to get thralls, and one tier 4 is guaranteed there, all others can be tier 4 and all crafters are there. Most playthroughs I just start a base near there, start making my building materials and get my first couple of thralls and then move to my main base later on. For a main base, most important for me is proximity to high level fighter thralls and an obelisk. That's why I prefer to build my main base up north, near the mounds or near New Asgarth (materials are not much of a consideration, since wood, stone and iron are everywhere up north and all others like brimstone are easy to do with a maproom and bearer thrall).

    After living everywhere on the map I realized that most resources rarely matter, at endgame it is more advantageous if you are somewhere close to an obelisk since you travel a lot. If you are solo, you'll end up making a wheel of friendship + maproom combo near every major city.
    You'll need basically 2 things: Good thralls and building material for your base (mainly stone since wood is everywhere). The best source of stone is near Sepemeru where you can gather several thousand (~10+) with a bearer thrall at one go.
    I'd never choose a base based on the availability of caves or sulhur, or silk. since I personally never used sulphur since the early days.. And most caves are a 1 trick pony you visit them once that that's it. Since when Frozen north was added, skeletons in the frozen fort dropped a ton of steel, there was never a need to create. After they were nerfed FC introduced a lot if it in the Sepemeru chests, all your steel needs can be fulfilled via looting chests in Sepemeru daily.. or going a round in New Asgarth, the barbarian city. If you need iron, you can make a trip to the pirates or to the black hand ship.
    You also don't need access to Silk, since there's a whole area covered with them, 1 trip there solves silk for a few weeks, you only need to go back if you build a lot of flags. All in all, I think the best locations are near Sepemeru and near New Asgarth. i.imgur.com/VZo7ipc.png I personally liked the ones near Sepemeru better since the large cliffs there with flat tops provide the best views. I guess if you want raids, they are not ideal since mountaintop bases cannot be raided by NPCs.
    Some images of the view from the time I built on the mountain between Sepemeru and Kael's stronghold:
    i.imgur.com/a4tuwPk.png
    i.imgur.com/W4lrYPM.png
    i.imgur.com/X06BGZY.png
    I'd rate this the best spot to build, close to City, close to obelisk, protected from raids, has one of the best aloe areas just north of Sepemeru, steel comes from chests, thralls are close, stone is all around your mountain with close access to a farmable world boss scorpion). What is less convenient is Iron, but it still has ~2000 around when you gather stone..
    And when I built next to the Oasis north of Sepemeru. There's a good flat area there for bigger structures:

    i.imgur.com/eswuhHp.png
    #4 I've built there once, but the lack of obelisk nearby ruins it. It's a lot of run from any waypoint.
    #8 is the close to what I mentioned above but on a different top. * high five*

      I build at the plateau (Ironbreaker Ridge) as my second base before I moved to the Dragonmouth valley (for rpg-reasons). It's a good spot. Played on official server, and when it's busy, it's the one spot that is always taken.

    • @LaszloIvanyi

      @haribo836 3 года назад

      You can never have enough brimstone. I hardly use any brimstone for steel, except maybe in the beginning. I need it for the things that go boom and you need a lot of it. 10k brimstone will only make you 200 bombs, the bare minimum you need for a small base. So for you to say you never used brimstone since the early days, you're missing out on a lot of fun.

      The most important thing is access to obelisk because of teleporting. 2nd is enough flat space to build on.

    • @haribo836
      @haribo836 3 года назад +1

      @@ytdlder Enough flat space isn't a consideration at all. Depends on how many walls you want to stack, but the smaller the outer perimiter, the easier it is to defend. You need about 8x8 to fit everything (except animal pen, but who needs animals apart from a bunch of sabretooth). 8x8 is also the maximum span you can cover without using extra walls or pillars. So 8x8 plus the amount of stacks, don't often go over 14x14 for a base. With that size, even if it isn't flat, it's small enough that those foundations to leven don't cost a lot of performance.
      For me the priorities are strategic (hidden, easy to defend, etc) and travel (near obelisk). A third probably being the purge location.

    What do you need easy access to in a starter base?
    1. Tier 1 building materials
    2. Water
    3. Thralls
    What don't you need access to in a starter base?
    1. Alchemical materials
    2. Obelisks
    3. Boss dungeons
    The big question is, "when should you move from a starter base to your main base?". Easy answer; "When the latter three become more important than the former three."

    long time in between feedback I know, but this video is as relevant today as it was when you made it, having only 191 hours on this (via Steam) since I bought it in 2019, I see myself as a rookie player even today, that said I found #4 early on and I loved how it was up high and no one would pursue you there,
    I am a solo player, at least for now, so I am building in many places for the fun of it, and I love the idea of #3 and have made that today's mission, I am also looking to build a keep in a nice green area, and found a flat area up north with the "Nords" but for now that cave base concept has my attention. thank you for sharing.
    I really must get into some of the DLC though, still on base game and Riddle of Steel.

    I love your "Real Estate Kiah" videos.
    #2 Also has great access to Brimstone in the cave with the Spiders and the Juju boys close to the secondary Blackhand camp (which itself gives you access to Thralls). And if you follow Mitra, there is always a priest near. In fact the first 3 are relatively close to great brimstone sources. And even a bunch of coal to kickstart your early industry.
    #7 Is brilliant...🤔 I need to mark that spot.

    Plus rich in Aloe and overly trusting deer.👍.

    G6 is a very good spot for defense. Meaning - there are _no_ entrances the mobs can attack through. You have to build the stairs/elevator to get up to the plateau. The site I'm thinking about is *Thugra's Stand.* I spent the majority of my first two characters on the official server up there. To get Ichor you could use the trick with the *Large Water-well* and use traps in it to get unappetizing fish, which you cook to get Ichor. Iron ore is all around as well, and not that far away either. Highly recommended. Edit. Ohh, and it very close to the Obelisk at the Sinkhole!

  • @JohnBrown-ix7rp
    @JohnBrown-ix7rp Год назад

    The one I used on PVE to learn the controls is in the Noob area. cross the wall from the spawn point, and turn left, cross under the bridge. Metal is a little scarce, but starting out you can't use much, but you are mostly safe from predators with several sources of food, easy access to water and plants. gives a place to gain levels for starter thralls.

  • @FriedrichVSS
    @FriedrichVSS 3 года назад +2

    There's a small plateau in G4 - one of my favorites. Near Sinner's Refuge, a short walk to tons of iron. Defensible. Only downside is it's also a short walk from water.
    Plenty of food, trees, fiber, and leather opportunities as well. For a starter base (or Base #1), it's fantastic.

  • @haribo836
    @haribo836 3 года назад

    When I build a starter base, which I rarely do, the only goal for that base is to produce tier 3 materials as quick as possible. Wood and stone are everywhere, so that leaves ichor, iron, brimstone and thralls. I love to build somewhere close to sinners refuge. The cave has brimstone, the chosen of asura spawn with good chances on t4 thralls, iron close to the tower of the bats and spiders for ichor around the corner. Once you are set to build a main base though, resources hardly matter, since you travel by obelisk. So access to an obelisk is my main priority. Next is a defendable spot and a good purge.

  • @eldritchedward
    @eldritchedward 3 года назад

    Me and my girlfriend just built a tower right in front of the Black Hands camp you mentioned as #4 and the iron output there is just bonkers.
    It was just supposed to be a temporary waystation to get from our first base to wherever our big one was going to end up in.
    We built it in the night, we didn't even realize all the metal that was nearby. Let alone a cave being nearby where you can harvest all the brimstone you would ever need, past the spiders in there.
    Now, having watched your video, we are very tempted to build our permanent base at your #8. It looks like we could go crazy building something really big.

    There's a place near New Asagarth that has a crazy NPC tower. It has, (count em!) -4- chests to loot AND has a bearer spawn. There's alot of rocks and iron, plus has a wolf den to snatch a wolf pup (located near a small water source.) The only downside is that trees take some travel and there's virtually NO aloe nearby, nor has any thick hide mobs close by.

  • @scottish785
    @scottish785 3 года назад

    I actually have a nice base near Conans's city there is a small 2 part lake with small land bridge dividing it on the map and I have my base on the north side of the lake. You have gazelle and kudo an shellbacks for food. You have trees, rock, metal, water, coal all handy as well as the animals for food and also plenty of bushes for various things and also aloe and some lupine trees. You also have easy access to thralls in the city. Also not to far from an obelisk and shattered springs and all the various chests around Sepermaru. On south side you also have access to Rhinos for thicker leather though a bit of a run it's doable. Also several bosses in the area for a challenge

    One other consideration is building near Bearers so you can farm Bearer III's for rare materials like Alchemical Base. I've actually built in spot 8 before because of that. Plus you have Aloe all throughout the oasis, which you might need if you're going through the Wine Cellar and fighting the undead horrors down there.

Though I obviously see why, I can't be the only one who actually extremely dislikes the obelisks existence. Or any kind of fast travel option in this case. That's the thing that keeps me from official servers as well. It kind of breaks the survival aspect.
