Great Tips. I too was about to give up on this game. I played it a while back and have started to come back to it again. I found with the updates the game is harder now than before. Then add on top of that my experience with Bonemass was the same as the original posters, I threw my hands up in the air. I did not have much choice with the night time. The few times I got there it was always night. I planned on making a camp there to work from. It usually works well in defense, even against wraiths, but I had more enemies spawn than what the original poster said each and every time I landed there. I do have meadows across a fairly large lake that i can use to wait for morning. (thanks for that tip.)
As for the abomination once you get every gear maxed out and the iron axe too, it is not too much of a big deal. I will try riding them as the poster above said. I had no clue you could do that. Thank You all.
