Coldlandlord 6 Posted November 29, 2018 So after a few hours of playing, i have acquired a fair bit of gear, i have moved inland, looted an army camp and navigated out of that area to a remote village where I am currently held up. This village has everything i need to survive and is an easy/safe woodland hike back into the bigger towns and the areas i want to go to next but i have encountered some other players who i had to kill so I want to move out of the village a little bit so that i can keep my eye on the surroundings. I like to have a clear line of sight to the horizon rather than being in a village where i can't see people coming in and out. I am thinking about making this area my base location for a while, while i explore and loot the surrounding area. So what do i do with all the stuff i have already? Can i safely stash it somewhere without it disappearing next time i log in? I need to go on some more looting missions but i have no room in my pack for anything else. Can you leave stuff under trees etc which will stay there unless another player finds it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coldlandlord 6 Posted November 29, 2018 sorry, forgot to ask. assuming that if i leave some of my gear hidden under a tree for example and it stays there for the next time i log in, does it matter if i have to log into another server the next time. Will my stuff still be there or will it just be on that server? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you leave stuff under trees etc which will stay there unless another player finds it? To stash stuff you need a tent or a barrel, otherwise it will depop. If I remember corretly, it's like half an hour for stuff put on the ground, 4 hours for a bag. Then it disappears. 1 hour ago, Coldlandlord said: sorry, forgot to ask. assuming that if i leave some of my gear hidden under a tree for example and it stays there for the next time i log in, does it matter if i have to log into another server the next time.

If you login into another server, your tent/barrel will not be on this new server but still on the old one. (if I correctly understood your question ^^) That being said, there are issues with persistence right now as I understand it. So everything could disappear anyway, tents/barrels included... Perhaps you should ask yourself : what is in my bags and do I really need that ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilgrim* 3514 Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) My answer is get a barrel - stash it somewhere in the trees in a good place out of sight where it's unlikely to be found.. maybe not in a wolf area (your choice)..

Then go do whatever you're going to do - explore, hunt, get into trouble, loot, eat, get to know the map, survive, PVP, basebuild, paint the town red, rebuild a car .. But all that stuff, do it AWAY from your barrel.. even on another server .. if you want to put up tents or a base, do that somewhere else - just us the barrel as a fallback. Visit it from time to time (every two or three days) just move items so it doesn't think it's abandoned and wont despawn after a week or so (barrels and tents stay around for well more than a week without you going near them, when persistence is working as it should) .. You can go play on other servers and log back to your "barrel" server in an emergency or to add something to your stash.. a gun, some spare ammo, some food, meat, skins, spare cooking pot, fishing hooks, gas heater, cloths.. anything you might need but you don't need to carry with you.. Generally travel as light as you can.. live off the land - then you don't lose ALL your "best gear" when the wolves eat you or someone shoots you in the back First thing to do is find a good barrel and place it somewhere smart, where it will be unlikely for others to come across it .. Enjoy. Edited December 6, 2018 by pilgrim* 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buakaw 274 Posted December 10, 2018 imo no need to hoard anything on current stable patch, everything is available plentiful. doubt it will change with "1.0" either unless they surprise add a ton of stuff back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
