OK so I just came back from my first trip into the Black Forest and wow is there some dangerous stuff in there. There's these poison trolls, ones that throw stones at you, ones that are "brutes" and hit REALLY hard, and skeletons around the crypt that I was just in. I snagged 2 surtling cores but I need FIVE for a smelter. I found some tin but could not find any copper because I was running around like crazy trying not to die to the horde of trolls on my a$$, and still ended up dying in the river near my house because I drowned. But I did my corpse run and got all my stuff back. I guess just git gud, scrub?

Actually, i found my time in BF the most fun. You can farm the trolls and every crypt should have a few surtling cores. The crypts are pretty easy to clear as long as you use a blunt weapon on the skels and close door to prevent them killing u if necessary and rest and reopen it....the skels and other mobs NEVER open a door so you can basically whack a couple and back out and close it over and over. Each section you clear will stay clear as long as you clear all the mobs in the rooms one by one. The only respawn in the crypt is the yellow mushrooms that spawn daily and you will need later.
