Thank you all. I love taking my time, built 2 larger houses, have at least 10 huts outfitted with campfires and food as refreshment areas in meadow woods and am planing to do the same in Black Forrest areas, in order to find a future site I really like. No rush here to fight bosses asap.

You can reduce the number of lodges you require by getting some surtling cores found in the black forest dungeons and setting up portals. You can teleport instantly between 2 linked portals as long as you are carrying no ore or smelted metals. (Products made from smelted metals like weapons, armor, and nails will also teleport without restriction).
