how to get food without money/trading
« on: February 19, 2012, 08:35:03 am »

so now that starting as demigod is like peasant in 2010 i guess i'll have to to the sneak/wrestling/dodge/armor grinding vs weak animals (which i can't find ANYWHERE but that's another topic)

the problem is (aside not finding animals to train vs) that all thet requires TIME which now means food and water, but since you can't take on anything thus not earning any loot how can you deal with it?

for water a river/well is easy to find, the problem is food

Wait, as a demigod you can still beat the shit out of most animals you may encounter in the wilderness. My character kills giant scorpions for breakfast. Just run into any animal you see, beat it to death, butcher it and drink its blood.

just go into a house with furniture open a sack and take 50 wild strawberries with you... if you are worried about drinking, take a bag sepereate form the strawberries and fill it with blood after you kill something.

Bah, just go into the wilds and kill the most harmless animal you can find, then butcher it, free food, and bones/skin to trade.
