adventure mode has me stumped, try as I may I cant make money. Especially as a marks dwarf, I practically have to go through 15 rounds average to fend off a wolf pack. I gain nothing but experience, all I can find are animals and things way to tough to kill.

How do you get anything of value in adventure mode (barring starting a fort up, building 20 masterpieces and leaving them in a lead bin outside.

Raid some kobold caves.
The loot they steal is usually scattered around the area.
You can easily find some nice metal jewelery and sell it.

how do you find kobolds. All I've been attacked by is leopards, cougars, and wolfs (oh my). I've never noticed anything on the travel map. Do the villagers tell you if you keep bothering them?

Check Caves

[Qjet]

how do you find those! T.T

[Phantom]

TRAVEL! GO FIND A SYMBOL THAT LOOKS LIKE A ROCK! THEN EXIT TRAVEL MODE!

Kill Human Shopkeepers then steal their money.

'So...How do I breath again?'

I had to check the keymap for the breath key... It wasn't mapped to a laptop friendly spot.

DF adventurer sure is complicated

alright seriously? wandering aimlessly in the travel map until i get killed by a pack of wolves. Look for a rock, go to it. No rocks on travel map. Went to the closest thing i could think of was possibly the rivers starting at the mountains, as that uses the wrong color but right character. Wandered around there for about an hour with no luck. I get the feeling you arn't, hey just for giggles, could point out a cave for me on this map:

now clearly this represents severe brain damage on my part, but I'm not seeing it. In fact nothing I've seen so far hints at caves, the only time I've ever found caves was on quests. All of which were in the middle of no where. Those are not nice caves. I've found no information on wikis or guides or anything that talks about locating geographic features. Though adventure mode is not as well documented.

I'm assuming finding a kobold camp is actually practical. Not just surveying an entire region for a tiny landmark.

Do you have always how caves enabled in init?
Also, make sure your caves are genning properly.
It also helps to boost kobolds during worldgen.
Making them bigger and faster should increase your chances of them stealing a lot of stuff.

Easier way to make money: Steal food from peoples homes then sell it to a shop. Got all masterwork iron with this.

There's a cave setting in the init file? How can I tell my caves are genning properly if I can't see them. Until I see them? I've genned like 30 or so worlds on multiple versions with various settings and never once saw any unidentified icons.

Also stealing food, hehe that I will do. Thanks. a little cheeky but good until I figure out how to make money legitimately.
