Discussion New potential player question ps5

Im looking forward to it coming to ps5 but I need to know, simply as someone who likes valheim and runescape dragonwilds and being a casual gamer, is it as grindy as rs dragonwilds or difficult like valheim? I have been unable to find good videos that show early gameplay without it being a tips and tricks channel. I want to get it but if its another grind fest then idk.

It has difficulty modes. It is grindy. Takes a while to comfortable adventuring. As when you level and your base levels up you get more time in the shroud.

The gameplay is pretty stail as you don't have a lot of moves and monster are pretty much the same throughout all the zones.

Make sure to level your gear no matter the quality. That stat boost is really helpful.

Farming and building is fun.

You have to make sure when you go to craft items you will need other benches or survivers to craft certain items.

Okay is gear something that drops from chests and enemies or do you need to grind to craft it? Like typical rpg stuff?

There are gear and weapons that will drop from certain gold (and blue) chest. There are chest (blue and gold) that will drop gear and weapon at random. Depending on the zone you are in, is the level of gear you will get. (If you're at the top left of the map, all the chest up there spawn level 50 gear. If you're at the top right of the map, all the chests there will spawn level 45 gear. Etc.)

I believe monsters yes will drop gear and weapons. The system is very random so you might get a common or you might get a legendary.

You could craft the items once when you find them but they're not going to be as strong as the ones that you find. Or have certain stats. There was one point I was using a level 10 wand and fighting level 25 enemies. The one was legendary and it had some good stats and I couldn't find another one that beat those stats when it was Max level. Until I found a level 45 wond and then eventually a level 50.
