    I think starting tools is currently a dumb limit. I made a character I wanted, and without knowing what tools I'd get, I ended up with 3 different blades. The special blade, a combat knife and some skinners knife or whatever. I didn't even have a fishing pole. Without aid or looting other people, I have no idea how you can get started with that.

    That's why, unless I find another answer, I'm gonna use this exploit after the final wipe. I wanna be able to start doing some practical stuff right away (like cutting down trees and fishing).

    If you can't be bothered to make these tools and choose this method to get them quickly, why oh why are you playing this game? Set yourself a challenge for a change.

    yep me too but unfortunately people do and then the next person feels like they're at a dsiadvantage and so does the same and so on. Just fix the cause of the problem and we'll be fine. Just to make it clear though i play solo and have never rerolled for recipies or tools and i wont after final final wipe.

    Starting tools being non-lootable is a good idea, however, they still need to be tradeable. I have loaned a knife to someone for a little bit so that they could do a bit of crafting. I have given someone my starter fishing pole because I was able to make an "anglers rod" and didn't need my starter one any longer. Starter tools be tradeable is the base point to begin trading with others.

    24h reroll is a bad idea, like many have already stated, I reroll a few times to find that set of tool recipes that I know work well and that others will need early on in the game. I don't think that this practice goes against the lore or heart of the game.

    How do you make them? I looked at toolcraft, it didn't have anything like an axe or a fishing pole. If I don't want to kill people or use this method, how am I suppose to get started without forced to take certain crafting skills?

    I can't see the point in wanting everything straight away. I've rerolled whenever the server has wiped, and had varying success with the recipes provided, however, by working through what I could make, I have at worst been constrained over a lack of storage, and over time, become self sufficient, or found other players to trade with.
    There are people willing enough to exchange a tool for another, or for some recipes, or some nice bits of scavenged 'shiny stuff'

    My take on it, and it is purely for me, each to their own, is that it's like cheating at golf, where's the satisfaction in that?

    Of course I agree with you, but then, this is a PvP game and (with my apologies to the honest PvPers, I know you exist) any PvP game attracts a certain type of player that uses every cheat and exploit they can find.

    Yes, it's cheating, they call it "smart use of game mechanics". Frequently it's people that do not find enjoyment in playing but find enjoyment in winning instead.

    So you can't craft, don't wanna trade with ppl and don't wanna kill ppl and you feel the game should be tweaked to make this a successful playstyle. My angle is that the current system makes you interact with other pl either to cooperate or to pvp, which is a good thing imo.

    I actually met you ingame, we crafted a bit together and you were even offered to join our tribe i think? How is this not a solution to getting the tools you need?

    If you can't make something, craft things and discover new recipes, or have someone in the game craft it for you and repay them with either gathered resources or craft them something they can't. It's how the game works.
