What resources are missing from Distant Shores (Skal)?

[Irongron]

So to help me prepare an upcoming update I'm interested to hear an answer to the above question.

Obviously due to it being a low level environment I'm not interesting in adding high end resources, but I would like to know what else can be hard to source there?

Malachite and emerald for gems. Thanks!

Strychnine if I remember right. Makes poison making tough.

[The Kriv]

I remember Sassone Leaves were really hard to find, which is an essential component to making small seed balm.

also, lady's Tear and Kings Crown are super scarce.

Use this info however you see fit but this is what I know to be harder to find:

Herbs:

• 2 Lady's Tear nodes

• 1 King's Crown node

• 2/3/4 Harnak nodes

• 1 Sweetberry node (until someone added two more to the community garden)

• No Wolvesbane and Belladonna on the isle, had a few cheeky tourists almost cause an epidemic in the past

Ore/Gems

• Most gems have one specific node out in the Skal and depending on their rarity it could be easy or hard to obtain them.

• Emeralds and Rubies are basically rare 'loot-only' from the certain creatures of the isle

• A single Nithril node which I believe aside from Mandrake and Mylass root is the only poison obtainable

• Mithril veins are incredibly rare like maybe once a RL 4-5 days it spawns

Misc:

• 3 Spider Silk nodes

My Thoughts

• I wouldn't mind more Spidersilk nodes personally. I've farmed the three nodes in the past and I've had a few people doing the same to make Barkskin potions.

• I like that Emeralds and Rubies are difficult to get. You can get them over time through grinding if you're 'really' determined.

I think there are more than three spidersilk nodes. I can think of 5 right now...

As far as the plants go, a really nice solution would be to add a little more farmland and let PC's invest in finding the seeds. Maybe add some land near the purchaseable houses in town.

I suggest adding cotton and perhaps nuts/fruit/berry bushes to the remote little settlement out in the Tundra, so that it isn't completely bare. Or at the very least fertile ground for planting.

I believe the Tundra Outpost of the hermit has a full garden with nuts/berries/fruit/cotton.

Also just an FYI, there -are- wolfsbane .. well, at least ONE that I've come across on Skal.
Non-specific hint: it is not on the surface.

Cotton isn't missing, but it's a main component that could use a few more plants around. Or, like others have mentioned, a couple more garden plots.

By the way, there's no cotton at the Tundra Outpost and the plot is not scripted to allow planting (not that she would let you dig up her garden, anyway).

Yeti pelts. It's not exactly a resource, more of a crafting material that is thematic to the island.

The yetis on Skal don't drop those pelts.

Also Displacer Beast Hide, the Cloak made from the hide will really help certain builds in the early levels out. But it has to be imported from the mainland atm.
