Suggestions from 700+ hours player

700+ hours played, well thought out suggestions below.

1) in the early game there should really be a step between the club and the bronze mace, its like going from tier 0 to tier 2.
Maybe a bone mace or a flint mace would be good here.

2) the caves in the mountains - the chest drops have zero value. At this point most players have everything from the vendor and dont need gold. Obsidian is easy to farm like 150+ at a time in dedicated runs. These should be able to drop silver ore, silver arrows, onion seeds, wolf pelts, etc etc to bring them more in line with swamp chests.

3) raising block skill should scale with damage blocked not simply if you block, the fastest way to level block should not be to go into the black forest and spam block 1000 greydwarfs. Blocking 80+ from a fuling should give much more exp than blocking 1 from a greydwarf especially when blocking is one of the most relevant skills in the game.

2) at 600 gold per light, yea, gold is still good. The armor stand/lamppost is going to make the vendor really important for some people for a while.

That said the mtn caves were pretty cool until you were saturated. Curtains, carpets, a new color (red) for that stuff, the claw weapons (fun, if not top tier), loads of fine wood, coal, bone, armor set ... they are jam packed loot runs full of new things and you can barely carry it all out. I thought it was solid, regardless of what is in the 'treasure chests'. And, big winner, lots of glass without finding and killing 400 golems anymore.

I think the caves are dope. I still think the chest drops could be improved though.
Fair point about the gold. I have thousands in excess before even making it to mountains usually.
Adding the jute to the chests too would be great as that is often hard to farm.

After 2100+ hours:
1) You could say the same for going from fists to the club. There are two weapons between the club and the mace, the stone and flint axes. When I start a new game, I head straight for the water to get flint for an ax. I'll make a stone ax to tide me over. I might use a club for maybe the first few graylings and then never use it again. After the first run through I never made another mace.

2) Excellent suggestion. I agree 100%

3) I don't pay much attention to skills. They don't seem to make a whole lot of difference.
For instance, level 100 Unarmed is still not as powerful as using a mere club.
