Gear - What Gear and Where

[selmack 7]

Found the link below when looking to see what larger backpack were available. I think I have avoided better ones because the names were similar and I thought there were the same. I located Backpacks under the Tools heading. Seems to talk about many items and where you might locate them.

I just thought this might help someone as much as it helped me.

The is a building in the city that is just one small room and stairs. Three floors I think - there is always a backpack on the third floor with the same name as the backpack you start with. I am wondering if it is really the backpack with 24 slots. Hope I can locate it again to check.

It there are beter links or more up to date information, please share them. Thanks!!!

The wiki link and DayZ DB map are the main two I think most people use.

If you havn't seen the DayZ DB map before you can click on the icons on the map and it shows you what loot could potentially spawn there. It's pretty handy for new players.

The only 24 slot backpack I know of is the Coyote backpack and I think that spawns only in military buildings, it looks very different to the starting pack too (its like a small building... FOR YOUR BACK!!).

Still can not locate a good weapon - or even an axe at the moment - I usually locate axes everywhere. But as far as supplies, I decide to quit going in to the two major cities. On a small server I figured most if not all would be in them. So I hit the road. Finally figured out how to use the legend on the map I use and posted in another thread and realized other towns have store also. Thought I got lost but found a city north with a store and so many supplies - an Alice Pack. So many things. This store did not have a weapon though. Map says town has church but I have not located it yet. Smaller server - was from large cities is nice - I will mess it up somehow.

Love the way the sun shine properly to help you keep your direction without a compass. I still feel so lost without it but hiding under a bush in woods, using CTRL-ESC to look at map, then going back in - over and over - has really added to the game. I get lost less with it.

Lastly, I know players in the game are a good thing but with everyone so easy to shoot and being so new, I am really enjoying running zombies in a circle and losing them.

Lastly, I know this is in another thread - but I don't want to argue - the thing about "Item Spawning". I am in a small town now with one store, only one house I have been able entire, what is the problem with picking up more than I need, moving it, to increase the spawning time. I don't like players shooting on site, snipers, etc - but I really don't get the reason to argue on this issue. You need the supplies - don't you?

If you want me to post my map page here let me know, I downloaded the 3 maps so I will have to look for the site again. There is one main map and two overviews of two main cities. Map has wonderful legend to you know what is in each place before you go - and so far it has been completely up to date.

Thank you for all the advice and assistance!!!! It is been so helpful!!!

If you have a smart phone and android or apple you can download an app with the map on, I used both iPad and galaxy phone for info, but after the hours I put in, I don't need to use the things anymore unless there are new maps and contents!

Try it, it will save you time and effort!
