Evening everyone,

Thank you so much for this, Kichi!  Really helpful.

[miniboss (DayZ) 7]

maybe consider copying and pinning this entire thread over to the general discussion as well,

as all the unfiltered "omg kos" "omg dark" omg wipe" threads seem to amass there.

I wrote a more fleshed out Survivor's Guide for new players to DayZ SA here that I think would be useful to add to the list.  It's a bit of a read but it covers pretty much all the basics for beginners.

Thanks this helps. I was hoping to find a thread that explains items. For example, what can I do with/how do I use the following: hammer, wrench, screwdriver, duct tape, rope, handcuffs, cooking pot, etc etc. What are all the things gas can power? batteries? How do you start a fire? Is there a purpose to a fire? What is the pained clearing of the throat noise my character keeps making (I'm not getting any messages that something is wrong)?

 

Also I was wondering what is the point of a med kit? They have bandages, but you can tear up a shirt and make your own. Water purification tablets, I've never found dirty water unless you don't know and are just taking a risk when finding bottled water. Empty blood bag seems to help almost no one (requires a friend plus knowing their blood type and the person you give it to I believe). IV starter kit... not sure what it does. Would be nice if these had the anti bacterial spray, morphine, saline bag, something useful to go with the empty syringe, etc.

 

Also I joined a few different servers trying to find one that wasn't night, and then suddenly all of my gear vanished that I worked on all day the day before. I then joined the main one I played getting the gear to make sure I just didn't join a different type of save server and it was still all gone... not very happy.

Would you mind adding my threads with the movement and inventory tutorials I made? It pretty much covers the basic controls and inventory questions I noticed most of my friends who were new to the DayZ franchise had...
