- You will sometimes come across items such as a broken repair smithy, which you can repair for less than it costs to build one. Put down a campfire, repair it, then deconstruct (X key) & you’ll get the full build value back. Good way to get extra iron ingots early in the game.
- Have a set of travel supplies that you always carry such as wood, stone, coal, iron ingots & metal fragments. This will let you build a campfire & a repair smithy.
- Customize your settings to what works for you. You can change the difficulty of combat, amount of resource drops, frequency of sieges/patrols and more. In offline, open your world first to access this.
- It doesn’t happen often, but if you happen to spawn in a place where you are stuck in a wall or other immovable object – use the Z key to crouch and that should let you escape
- Make any new hammer as soon as you get it unlocked, each level of repair hammer will unlock new things.
- Hammers not only repair statues, they can repair buildings. This is helpful if orcs damaged your base in a siege, or if you just want to begin the work of restoring Moria.
- Some items are unlocked by things you build, especially hearths. Build everything available to you at least once and you’ll be surprised at what may get unlocked.
- Press and hold E to pick up everything within a small radius.
