How to start with money, skills and weapons. - Outward

I appreciate this! Helped me a lot since I’m just barely starting this game.

I would recommend to either go with a spear (or pitchfork) for easier fighting because of the range advantage when you are new to the game, or the sword/machete skill because it's very strong and useful deep into the endgame. And don't forget the push kick, it's very useful to down birds before they can run away. Especially when you use a 2h axe it is essential to get the enemies off their feet to make the most of the Execute ability. Furthermore DON'T sell the power coils. You can use 2 of those to get the biggest backpack in the game!

Love this so much! Really helped me get started on the game!

You should always speak to Yzan (the man kneeling on the beach). Before speaking to him, ALWAYS unequip your chestpiece, he will give you extra clothing to wear, which you can sell or deconstruct for linen cloth.

Pretty good guide. Little known fact, if you talk to Yzan on that very first shipwreck beach while naked he'll give you another tattered attire, not too useful, but it can be turned into additional cloth for bandages for example. Also you kept running around in tattered stuff when you had a bunch of leather to make makeshift leather attire and boots for a little more defence - makes pocket space bigger too. I'd advice keeping powercoils you get early on too, there's a nice door in bandit camp that needs 2 of them to open. You kinda keep selling food and ingredients rather zealously and not really optimally. Turning low cost food into travel rations is better money, if a bit tedious. Also there's a quest the cook merchant gives - talking to town merchants often gives little sidequests - that reqires you to cook cierzo ceviche, recipe for which you find in your lighthouse kitchen, reward is 4 pretty well-selling dishes and you'll have some ceviche left too, so pretty profitable as well.
The saddest thing for me though was how you sold those first tartines. With meat you got from hyenas and some salt from the ocean water you can make more jerky and turn all the jerky into travel rations. 2 meat and 2 salt is 5 jerky, and 2 of any food and 1 salt in the kitchen or a cooking pot gives you 3 travel rations(doing it in survival crafting only gives 1, so careful), which each sell for 2 silver. Seeing how you find 2 free jerky laying around you can get 18 travel rations and have 1 gaberry tartine leftover for stamina buff for first venture outward. That's 36 silver from food whilst you got 14 from selling tartines and jerky. I'd keep the mineral tea too, gravel beetles are a bit rare.

love this game so much, love your content keep up the good work, play this game every time head back from work, I have roughly 200 hours on this game and still playing it everyday

the best guide

My only critique is you can boil 2 crabeyes, combine with a salt, to make toxins that sell for 3 each (and the 2 crabeyes make 3 of them), for a rate of 4.5silver per crabeye instead of 1silver. Salt is basically free.

I also keep my first 2 power coils. I need that Mefino's backpack asap.

Toss the axe use the fishing harpoon and collect every fishing spot then make bluesand armor

I kept buying salt all in the beginning but if you collect sea water and put it into a campfire then you will get 5 salt for free and you can repeat it forever for a lot of salt (might even be able to sell it I'm not sure)

that game good most like witch hunter

that open world

great guide, seeing this realizing the game is lame af.

Selling fishing thjngs amd pick axe lost you some money

Domt sell power coil

Thanks bro very helpful 🤞🏽

Thanks, you saved my life. Saw the game, was really interested in it. Got it on steam for 10€ today and was SUFFERING. was at the 80 minutes playtime and died more than in 5 hours of darksouls. Thanks to you i did NOT refund :D

Do not sell power coils in the beginning.... get 2 and you can get the 110 carry weight backpack with 2 power coils at the bandit fort

I first tried to play this game in 2021 and gave up because I couldn't figure out what I needed to do. I also had other games I was into so I set this aside. I've decided to give this game another go and this video was very helpful. Now I have to learn how to fight without taking a lot of damage!

thanks super clip

I suggest NOT selling the power coils. If you get lucky and find 2 early in the game, head east from the town to the bandit camp, you can get the best bag in the game early.

Why did you sell the power coil. Better would be to find a second and get the highest storage backpack right away.

Rest of the gameplay is really nice!

Thanks man I needed this

Forgot that i had this game, downloaded it again. This video is just what i needed

You know it's serious business when the character is wearing a cauldron :)

This tutorial was very helpful. Thank you.

Big up for this.

thanks. as a first timer, this helped a great deal

This made my second start off actually sucessful i bought it on sale for 7$ what a steal

Followed guide....clicked wrong button turning in damn write and paid with gold...saf

Never sell your iron scraps, save until you unlocked the bandit fortress where you can sell all metal scraps for 5 silver, easy to horde a bunch when I sell them it's usually about 1k plus and if you have 2 controllers make a mule character to join you drop all onto them until ready to sell

I tried the help the man on the beach but he was dead by the time I got there. I then got torn apart by wolves. L tutorial 😢

Im sure im hearing VRM sound of ur PC, or it just a "not-grounded" Mic connected. It fixes with better PoweSupply or stabilise electricity

Great tips man

Do not sell any seaweed, oil, larva egg and poisonus seed. Buy linen for 1 silver, craft rags and sell them for 2 silver. So it is 2 silver more gold per item.

really comprehensive guide, thanks mate, exactly what I did

This is a real game :) I can't get enough of it. It has an insane level of freedom.

For me, start off with everything you did except talk to yzan with no clothes on. Scrap the extra clothes for 3 pieces of cloth, make one cold rag with a seaweed for the shrimps later, and make one bandage for 'just in case', and craft the clothes your wearing with 2 hide to make makeshift hide armor..bigger pouch means you can loot more. In town, sell everything one can loot except for waterskin, fishing harpoon, tartines and jerky..stamina regen from tartines and hp regen from jerky are valuable at the start to sprint and stay alive longer, the harpoon is for fishing at the coast.

With that, there's enough silver to buy back the lighthouse, but don't do that. Buy the 2 passive skills from Eto. Buy the 50 capacity backpack from the general store. Buy an iron weapon. Talk to Burac for the weapon skill. You should have about 10-40 silver left depending on the loot rng..even more if the three fishing spots in cierzo all gives azure shrimp and blue sands. Empty the waterskin and take salt water. Boil the salt water, cook 2 meat(from hyenas) with 2 salt for 5 jerky. Drop some of them and drop half the tartines for later..so you have about 3 jerky and 3 tartines with you. Enough to last throughout the bed buff. Make some bitter tea with the spice beetle you have for your stamina burn later. Take an hour nap at home for the bed buff; 20% stamina reduction for about 40 minutes is massive at the start when nothing else gives you that.

Go through the storage, loot everything except the bedroll and those that can't be sold, and kill the two trogs. Sell the two spears for 12 silver. Return to the storage, loot everything..getting a sapphire or aquamarine is nice from the iron node. Now to the beach from storage exit. Loot the seaweed, 3 blue sands spots, and fishes. Give a bandage for tribal favor. Kill all the Shrimps for more money if you're able to. Walk around till vandavel while looting the few caches and hollowed trunks and rich iron node(s) along the way..just don't loot wooden arrows..you can't sell those. Kill a few hyenas for some predator bones if you don't have any yet, make a fanged weapon once you get the amount you need, and decraft a head piece or worn boots from a trunk you picked up if you need a cloth. Craft one head piece with hide for makeshift leather hat. Do the same with boots. Collect the blue sands and fish outside vandavel as well. Walk uphill nearby to reach the opposite side of blue chamber conflux entrance for a mana stone node and rich iron node and take the supply cache near the bottom of the hill as well. Go to the blue chamber conflux entrance for another mana stone node, and one to the left of it along a narrow pathway. Then return to the bridge and walk downhill but away from the bridge to reach another mana stone node..by now you'd have at least one hackmanite. Go to immaculate's cave for a chest and the possessed boon. Your bag capacity is almost full by now(beyond full if you looted a halfplate armor), and it's almost dark, and your bed buff is almost expiring.

If you happen to see a wandering caravan merchant, sell everything you've looted to him, and you should have at least 200 silver by now, if you don't see one, carry on. Return to the beach to go into starfish cave when it's dark. Loot the 2 blue sands and junk pile in there. you can choose to ignore the shrimp if you have a hard time fighting those..just turn off your lantern and don't sprint if you don't want to aggro it. Return to town, sell everything you looted, and you'll have about 300 silver now, even if you don't fight the shrimps, even if you don't sell the hackmanite and gems you got while mining, a tribal favor, an upgraded weapon..and you're still on your first day. DO NOT sell the power coils if you have any. The only mandatory fights were some hyenas for your upgrades. If you're super lucky, you'd have a pearlbird mask from a random pearlbird kill, a master trader boots from the wandering caravan dude and 2 power coils for the biggest backpack in the game.

I love this game so much.

Nobody talks about how the music in outward is top tier

Or just spawn in player 2 split screen, take their gold…and presto! Exponential growth and millions in minutes. But sure, go collect berries and become a chef to sell pop tarts for 6 silvers an hour 😂

You dont have to sleep on the bedroll for an hour at the beginning. You can also go and be viciously mauled to death by the 2 wolves like i did.

Just to add when you get to the beach outside town, go to sleep until dark so you can pick up blue sand on the beach and the beach cave. You should average 9-10 blue sands after a 5 minute detour. Another 100-140 silver

I'd recommend filling up your water skins with salt water and then purifying that water because then you get salt and pure water

Nice video, this was helpful
