I just think its kinda fun. When Im not grinding up on my other challenge slot [beat the entire game with no stat build] I’ve decided that I wanna just. Get to level 125 without actually ever leaving Dawn island.
Ill post my progress here, but heres the general rules.
I can’t leave dawn island and must remain near it in some form. Meaning I can hunt any ships nearby Dawn island but I must remain NEAR dawn island. I cannot go near any other islands such as Frostmill.
If I ‘discover’ another island the run is over.
I also can’t employ friends for easy XP grinding [so no player-kill farming]
Deaths by lightning: 6
Day 1 [15/03/23]
I started by collecting a ton of stuff around the island from chests and drops. This run would be VERY easy if there was a cooking pot on Dawn Island, but there isn’t. The closest is Elm Island and, well, Im not allowed to go there.I’ve found that pissing off the Navy or any other ship for that matter can garner me a lot of XP, and dying has no consequence. Between fishing and terrorizing 3 total ships that crossed paths with me, I’ve gotten to level 8!
I might start trying to terrorize sharks? But I don’t have enough HP for that yet!
Level at the end of the day : 10
Day 2 [16/03/23]
Fishing serves me well, and I obtained a hefty amount of XP from it. Turns out, fishing gives you 10% XP no matter your level, so Im saving the last of my possible catches for later down the line.
I reached level 16 almost 17 so far and have done very well in murderising passing pirate ships and assassin ships.
Its a steady gain but somewhat tedious with how ships wander off often or dont get close enough to the island, though pirates have a tendancy to beach each other !
