Broccoli Clock Posted 9 hours ago Report Posted 9 hours ago I had some traders local to my spawn, but no Treasure Hunters. Finally I bit the bullet and bought the location from a Survival trader. I got the map, it placed a marker in a location I hadn't explored but not a huge distance from my base. When I got there, this is what I found... ...the water isn't deep, maybe 8 blocks max, and there is no base located on the seafloor. There is no exposed bit of land where the trader could have their compound, and there are no traders in the vicinity. It's not a huge problem... actually it was a problem I got merc'ed 3 times (3!) getting there, when I was beset upon by not just a hungry brown bear, but it was team tagged by 2 wolves too. I tried fighting it off, but the snow was slowing me down and no amount of linen armour was saving me. I lost one life, then took out the bear, died, returned and took out the remaining two wolves only for a freaking polar bear decided to join the party, and take me out. I finally got the better of them, and the game threw in an extra wolf just for good measure, but it was a wild mini death spiral. I get that these creatures are "a bit bitey" during the lean months, and I look forward to the new footsteps being introduced in 1.22, but yeah... Anyway, as I was saying... it's not a huge problem, I will keep searching for a Treasure Hunter organically, or I might buy the location again although not sure it will give me somewhere different. Not sure what exactly has happened, I tried a wgen command to see if it's rendered incorrectly but it just regenned the terrain as it was already.
Broccoli Clock Posted 9 hours ago Author Report Posted 9 hours ago Slight update, about 100 blocks to the North East, there it was. So was another bear! I'll leave this thread up for a while, just for awareness, but yeah... problem resolved. 1 1
Broccoli Clock Posted 9 hours ago Author Report Posted 9 hours ago (edited) Ok, so this trader post is getting wild. I was talking to the trader, and literally another bear attacks the place. I had the main gate closed but the hut door was open. The bear climbed over the fence, popped it's head into the hut, and you know what the trader did? Run away. Literally, they legged it, leaving me trying to deal with a bear. I honestly thought I'd swiped the trader with my weapon and both the bear and the trader were about to team tag me. What's more, when the trader left, they dropped an iron falx. I thought it was mine, but either I never noticed it when entering the hut or he dropped it immediately upon being attacked.

Broccoli Clock Posted 8 hours ago Author Report Posted 8 hours ago On the way home, I ran into.. you guessed it, another bear, oh, and some more wolves. What initially started as a simple trader run, maybe 1000 blocks from my base, turned into a pretty nasty death spiral and a shit ton of animal skins. Not a bad haul. Disappointing to lose some lives doing it, but for the most part the bears literally came out of the gloaming, paws raised and with Seraph meat on the menu. The low light, and vision reducing snowstorms didn't help. The footsteps coming in 1.22 might have.
Dilan Rona Posted 8 hours ago Report Posted 8 hours ago That should be around 72 bush meat, 10 fat, at least 3 large pelts, and 4 huge pelts. How far off was I? Even if the trader expedition wasnt a sucess, that is in my eyes a great side hunt.

How far off was I? Even if the trader expedition wasnt a sucess, that is in my eyes a great side hunt. Not far off, the fat was more (about 13 I think) the bushmeat a little less (I think I didn't grab all of it off some of the wolves), I have 7 bear skins, which I think will translate to 21 huge hides (I could be wrong, but I thought 1 skin results in 3 hide), and the remaining medium hides from the wolves comes to about 6 or 7, not counted and like the meat I think I left some on their bodies as it felt like I was constantly under attack. Either way, no matter which way you do the maths, you are right. It's turned into a bountiful hunt... by accident. Shame about the death spiral, it really hammered my satiety spread. For anyone unaware, the different types of bear give different buffs/nerfs from their relevant armour. As the polar bear seems the most random, this was the first one I found and I don't believe I am all that far North, and as it has the best stats, I might put that to one side for some armour. I am currently wearing pretty new linen (not tailored) and the bears were eating through that with each swipe of their murder mitten. If that's the case then I might switch to the polar bear armour just for the heat buff alone. Edited 7 hours ago by Broccoli Clock
LadyWYT Posted 6 hours ago Report Posted 6 hours ago Interesting. The bear spawns do seem to be a little higher now, but so do other creature spawns. I've seen lots of deer, and a big flock of chickens, but maybe it's just the quirks of my particular world. In any case, while I've seen several bears, I can't say that I've seen any of them get aggressive yet. While I do give them space, I have been relatively close to a couple(close enough to trigger an attack in previous versions) and they've paid me no mind.
