Question about Lumberlords

[shiri01]

Hello!

I've searched the forums and wiki, but couldn't find any info on the subject, if I missed something I apologize. As the title says, there's something I'd like to know about lumberlords - so they spawn when you attempt to cut down a tree in darkness. Does it make any difference if:
1) a tree was one you yourself planted from a pot(I'm guessing not)
2) said tree is growing on your claim (animals/monster don't usually spawn on your claim so this one has me stumped)

Because I'm thinking of moving into darkness. I know the most reasonable answer would be "if you can't kill darkness monster then don't go there ya noob" but hey, I'd still like to know.

Well if you are a witch or inside a church influence they don't spawn. But if not then i think they will spawn no matter if inside a claim or not
Animals do spawn inside your claim but not in paved ground.

Also they are very tough and give no real loot

Maybe you're not lucky enough?

Lumberlords are on the higher end of humors for darkness creatures. You are going to want to have a means of obtaining wood other than fighting them every tree. I don't think how the tree was planted, or on claimed land has any bearing (have seen them spawn on both).

Ah, witch. I remember now I've heard something about witches and lumberlords. Maybe it's time I finally start dabbling in the dark arts?

Huh, that I didn't know. Never happened to me before, then again my claim wasn't that big to begin with.

Thanks for the answers, everyone! Guess I'll have to think a bit more about this before I make any journey towards darkness.

Eh, if you want to try, use landmarks, it costs 150 silver to go west then west again but you will need a canoe to move from that island.

[shiri01]

Oh, thank! I, uh, I didn't know about that landmarks thing...

I didn't pay much attention to some of the game updates (unless it was something big like insanity) and also didn't visit forums that much so yeah, here I am learning about things I didn't know exist in this game, hehe.

tiny amendment: they will never spawn on a personal claim, but they will spawn on village claims. Animals will also never spawn on paved ground regardless of whether it is claimed or not.

Hi there.

I think it is very difficult to do any kind of Woodworking in darkness: Lumberlords do spawn on personal claims aswell.

I wonder how annoying many Lumberlords one has to kill before beeing able to set up a single Timber Pile. The worst part is, that you don't even get the tree after killing the Lumberlord but some crappy stuff. I think at least selfplanted trees on a personal Claim or inside some special fence should be save.

Even if you have 400+ biles, you dont want to fight all day to get a couple of trees. And you cant be forced to witchcrafting or to have an ALT just for some basic Woodworking.

How is this supposed to work?

Best, Chandi.
