Isn’t that a somewhat easy thing to do? I mean, there’s a reason the Dukes of Ireland are recommended as a beginner start and/or are used for the tutorial. At least for the earliest standard date available without DLC.

Finally nabbed Suicune, after several attempts. This attempt took 32 Ultra Balls, half my team knocked out, a couple of Fresh Waters*, and one (unnecessary) Revive. That's a Lv.40 legendary when my party ranges from 29-34.

Tutorial is actually set in... Leon, I think? Northern Spain. At least the last time I played it, which was a good few years ago.

But yeah, Ireland is referred to as beginner’s island, ‘cause it’s an easy enough place to learn the game. Marry your nearest rivals, get non-aggression pacts and alliances, steamroll everyone else, betray your allies, etc.

Difference between tutorial Spain and Ireland is the fact that the Muslim states are deliberately coded not to declare war on you. In a normal game, Spain can actually be kind of hard to play, especially in the early game since you might just get Holy warred to death.

First floor secret room had an open black chest, got the Yari Launcher from it (other chests on the floor got me two pieces of the gunknight armor and a winchester), the rest of the run was pretty much spent bullshiting my way trough regular rooms with decent to crappy weapons (bow, skull spitter, helix gun, crown of guns and the devolver) and then simply deleting the boss nearly instantly with the Yari+gun potion combo. Got the +1 bullet on the 5th floor which gave even more synergies and at that point i had about 6-7hp and some armor to boot. Think I phased the dragun within two clips, which took a whole of 5 seconds or so. By far the most bullshit and easy run I've had to date, made the pilot actually enjoyable, tho in the end the class only factored in with the higher ammo capacity I think since I ditched the lockpick after two floors because I kept dropping keys like mad :V

Managed to consistently score in the top 5 or even top 3 of the scoreboard on Team Shootout.

Some players got upset, and others were using tactics that annoy me (brass knuckles in particular is unpleasant for me to deal with because I'm bad at melee), but all in all I had fun and did more killing than dying.

I was hunting for hours, yet could not find any prey out of a pine-marten that escaped with so much speed in the forest leaving me no chance to find a track.

I moved through the ground that was separated a river in two and spotted at some distance a bear on the other side.
Despite not being much confident in my current abilities and having only a staff and a bunch of rocks, there was a little voice telling me that it was probably going to be the only prey i would find this whole week.

So i decided to go all in and moved toward the beast, managing to get in range without losing it.

I adjusted my aim and threw a rock with some hope it could at least wound the monster somehow.
It missed unfortunately, but it attracted the attention of the bear that turned immediately toward me starting his angry rush.

I wielded my staff that my character was very competent with (it uses the spear skill) and proceeded to try to hit the skull of the raging bear as much as i could, i was a bit surprised that i was managing to dodge all the attempts of the beast to crush, claw or bite me, i checked my stats and my dodge skill was quite nice.

But it's a simple staff and despite my great strength wasn't going to have a kill that easily, but having great strength allowed me to hurt the bear with each of my strikes even if they were glancing off, though the beast moving around didn't allowed most of my strikes to hit their skully target.
Still the bear was hurting a lot with most of his body bruised.
And more importantly when i decided to check his body condition, he was limping !

Ah great new and time for a change of fighting strategy, i started to run away to put some distance as the angry beast was unable to really follow.
And the rain of rocks started.

*sister bear

I... well, I set up a listening post along a cluster of trade guild bases, so I'm often able to intercept their supply ships.  Sometimes their Marsec escorts drive me off, but my best gals have some serious if quirky weapons to deal with armor.  Like a "rail rifle" which is basically the crossbow from Half Life 2, our best attempt at Gauss technology so far.  Also the good old boat anchor.  And a few UAC chainguns, literally from Doom.

But what's actually changed the whole meta?  We've finally broken the global lingerie market.  No longer will people have to suffice with flimsy, made-to-fail underwear.  Everyone wants our durable underpants (I'm not making this up).  Stylish, too!  Every batch requires ummm inspirational material to design.

This is a much better income source than selling off refined FEV Hellerium from our "basement".  Even better than our alcohol industry, which suffers from a shortage of fruit in this dystopian world.

Oops, didn't noticed the bear was female.
Was surprised my character managed to carry back all the meat cut, he fell asleep when he reached his shelter though.

Doing Lokk'Nar defenses (Titled "Help the Lokk'Nars" If memory serves) will provide you with apples.

Alternatively, you could raid Ratmen villages.

Alternatively alternatively, you can get a bounty badge of D (I think) and do Lokk'Nar farm missions, which might have apples.

Alternatively alternatively alternatively, you can hope that you'll find yourself on a farming village tileset (kind of like the ones the Ratmen Villages are on) when you perform a mission, but given what you've told me I don't think that's quite worked.

Thanks!  Yeah, I used to roll a lot of missions to help the Lokk'Nars, but not so much anymore.  I think the original missions are mostly cycled out for Humanist/Church training grounds, and especially Trade Guild Warehouses. 

Bounty hunting wise I still get Lokk'Nar farm "protection" missions, which might give a few, but mostly give wheat (and various other vegetables for some reason, which I don't know any use for??)

I do get a few apples occasionally, but originally I was swimming in so many that I was making Chatau de Mort at two bases almost full time.
But hey, fashion industry now!

Currently the wheat and other veggies serve no purpose. People on the Discord (link here) have said that it's safe to sell them for now.
