doable sure, if you're down for sinking dozens of hours into exploring with no idea of what your looking for. I explored 10 mountains before finding the moder tablet. that took almost 2 months of on/off playing because it's pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ boring solo. you don't move fast enough on water, and what do you know, soon as you kill the effing dragon, it's BACK to the swamps for more iron than you can even FIND. Why not use black iron? because ♥♥♥♥ YOU thats why.
