← All areas in this guide

After arriving past the Exchange Place beneath the magical barrier, you travel down the rugged wilderness road leading into the heart of the colony toward the Old Camp. Exploring the side trails, abandoned carts, and cliffs yields essential starter gear and weapons, though dangerous wildlife prowls just off the main path. You can take early guidance from camp hunters and scouts before committing to any faction or combat build.

Enemies

Scavenger
Steal / drop Raw Meat, feathers

Aggressive bird-like creatures roaming near ponds and trail clearings that lunge forward; best dealt with by baiting their first strike before counter-attacking.

Shops and people

  • Drax: Teaches hunting butchery skills (Extract Claws, Pull Teeth, Take Pelts, Take Reptile Skins) for LP and Ore after giving him a beer
  • Cavalorn: Sells hunting bows, arrows, and supplies, and provides Bow training

Tips

  • Do not spread Learning Points across multiple combat stats early; push Strength or Dexterity to clear the enemy armor threshold, and hold off on consuming permanent stat elixirs until base trainer caps are reached.
