Guess it's time to re-grind all my gear again? TBH not very encouraged or excited to re-do all that.

1°) You are supposed to craft multiple sets of equipment (there's even a loading tip about this). It doesn't have to be max upgraded current tier, it can even be max upgraded previous tier (as far as I read). The same goes for boats if you don't like playing with (a lot of) portals.

2°) There are multiple locations where to invoke the Elder. By exploring in circle around map center, you should be more likelly to find vegvisirs linking to locations in other directions (or is it always the nearest location?).

3°) If you don't want to use the console, you can always consider that you'll retrieve this corpse when you are ready, and that then, you'll inherit a nice rescue set of upgraded bronze (in case you don't want to invest in two iron sets, later, see 1°).
