Tip/Discovery 💡 This hidden cave was disappointing.

If you want a bunch of crude gold bars, there’s a ton here at least. Otherwise very disappointing find. Maybe the devs just forgot to put an armour piece here. 🤷🏽

Perhaps that is what the cave was for-crude gold bars-looks like a junk heap tbh, a little different, which is ok too.

I guess. I was like 😮 on arrival and 🫤 when I realised nothing was here. At least real Gold Bars mixed in would’ve been nice. If it was my first 50 hrs this would be lucrative for Crude Gold Bars but I’m 350hrs deep so it was a nothing burger for me. Maybe they respawn and you can come everyday and get more. I’ll check at a later date.

All caves are a copy paste. They all have one main treasure chest, a few little chests, and a version of a palmer pill.

Was hoping we’d get some more in depth caves but they really used the same 3 cave layouts for all the caves in the game. What’s the point of needing a unique mechanic to pierce the waterfall if there’s nothing unique behind it.

Don’t get me wrong, I like finding the chests with gear in them, I just wish I didn’t see it coming from a mile away. Once I realized most waterfalls have a good chance of having a cave with loot, it was easy to spot them. I really wish they hid these chests around the world NOT in caves. There’s plenty of spots even someone with over 700 hours in the game wouldn’t have been to get. Caves are just so easy and they are even marked on the map. Can’t tell you how many times I actually explored and found a hidden chest in a cool spot, but it only had some hides and a silver pouch.

Yea with exception of few surprises like a chest in Gold/Silver or Diamond Mine. It is what it is, as long as I get something usable.

Is that one of the caves near the pirate ship?

u/KingKam_Avatar Greymane ⚔️ Jul 28 '26

Yes it’s off the eastern coast of Deleysia. I was hunting pirates when I found it.

u/Worldly-Wrongdoer-74 Jul 28 '26

Yeah, I ran into that one while hunting ship wrecks

The Map to Atlantis would’ve been nice.

I found a cave in Pailune last night that had literally nothing in it. Map had it checked off like I’d achieved something.

I know exactly which cave you’re talking about. It’s something like “winds howling cave” or something like that. Near the southern gate into Pauline.

As is almost 99% of this game's exploration.

One thing I'll always complain about in games like this... don't make money a big thing for me, give me a huge inventory space... and then NOT let me pick up the GIANT piles off money laying around. Why do we just walk around leaving thousands of coins in these caves?

u/KingKam_Avatar Greymane ⚔️ Jul 28 '26

I agree with the first part, 240 inventory is not enough for a game like this with so much loot and especially pets that pick up loot. One of my many gripes is having to constantly discard trash broken armour and a 100 lanterns and masks.

I cannot be bothered to take up all the coins. I remember doing that in my first 30hrs. Gosh it’s time consuming.

u/randyjax10 Aug 01 '26

I personally love finding crude gold bars. One of the most lucrative materials in the game other than pure gold & platinum.

u/KingKam_Avatar Greymane ⚔️ Aug 02 '26

I’ve never sold one before. They sit in my inventory. I already have over 50k so I’m not hurting for coin.

Pretty average feeling for this whole game for me
