Anyone else get elkxiety?

[Jubal]

That is, the phenomenon where you're just really really nervous that if you take the elk out for any trip that you don't 110% need it for, you'll end up riding it into a hole and be a) sad you've lost an elk and b) suddenly a LOT poorer? It can get away from most predators etc, it's just those damned barely-visible vertical pits the VS landscape is covered in that really worry me a lot of the time.

make sure you make yourself a bone flute for those moments your elk chucks itself into a hole (and lives!) or wanders somewhere it cant get out

but personally not really! i do tend to adventure pretty carefully though..

As long as you have a bone flute you're basically fine, provided your elk doesn't take lethal fall damage. Even then, as long as you're in a region where there's horsetail and cattails/papyrus, you can make poultices and heal it!
Very very useful, especially when on a server and the game decides that desync means your elk should be launched a thousand blocks in the air.

Also be sure that bone flute is NOT in the saddle bags.
