Bramble QuillWorthy books contain advice

You can find the pages of the book scattered around the world. Some will be from random snippets, while others will be from none other than the great Bramble Quillworthy. Don't delete the pages you find because they aren't all just lore. Some contain useful information about the game.

NPCs have mood swings

You can form relationships with various NPCs in the game, but you'll have to pay attention to their mood swings, likes and dislikes, and personal lives. These personal life can affect an NPC's mood that day.

If you want to cultivate a relationship with a specific NPC, it's not about memorizing what they like and doing with it. NPCs are complex and their emotions change with the wind.

As you get to know the character, you'll learn more about their personality types and what they enjoy. This will help you learn how to gain affinity.

That's why it's important to select their profile at the bottom left of the screen. Opening NPC character menu allows you to see how they are doing and what they can be more receptive to today.

Sometimes it is stolen, sometimes not

Crates and barrels can be looted coins, food or resources. When you're in town, you can see crates that are marked “Steal”, which you should obviously avoid looting. But remember that not every crate in the village is considered a steal.

Stealing gives you -5 morale.

Don't drop any loot in the settlement at all. Some crates can be looted in and around buildings. At the beginning of the game, you will be helped by a lousy looting to collect basic items.

If you want to steal, hide your negative morale when you find a chest instead of a small crate. This way you get more bang for your buck.
