1. Mount Fall Damage Mechanics
Mounts take fall damage depending on their load. For example, an ostrich with no load may take ~208 damage, while the same mount carrying ore or heavy loads may take over 300 damage—even with 95% fall damage resistance. Be cautious when jumping with loaded mounts.

2. Legendary Gear Priority
Always craft armor, tools, and weapons until you obtain legendary-quality gear (red background). The stats boost from legendary over epic is significant, especially since you’re wearing six armor pieces.

3. Repair Wisely
Repairing gear reduces its max durability. Only repair when absolutely necessary—ideally when you’re almost unable to venture out. Two repairs is usually the limit before recrafting. Use spare epic/rare gear for repairs or gear up your tribe.

4. Sabertooth Boss Farming
Repeatedly farm the low-level Sabertooth boss for blue/green crystals, hides, and materials. Crafting the Sabertooth boss armor gives you a great edge when progressing from iron-tier gear into mid-tier content.

5. Base Location Tips

• Stay near portals (within 1,000m) for fast access to dungeons and key resources.
• Avoid building on high, unpathable rock formations. Invaders may teleport directly onto your base and destroy it due to lack of pathfinding.

6. Taming Tribespeople Faster
Set up small outposts with beds near raid zones to tame knocked-out NPCs faster. You can also place them in existing beds in enemy camps—but beware, other players can steal them.

7. Morale Boosting via Beds
If your morale is low and you’re far from home, sleep in beds found in NPC camps. It’s slower than your base but helpful in emergencies.

8. Buff Management (Stacking Allowed)

• Always eat a meat, a staple, and a fruit/vegetable for stat balance.
• Use alcohol and cigars for recreational buffs.
• Add buffs like Exciting for morale, speed, and frostbite resistance.
• Iced Cocoa offers hydration and flame resistance.
• Medicines and drinks stack, so feel free to use antidotes, creams, and food buffs together.

9. Healing Kit Variety
Carry both immediate-use healing (e.g., creams) and over-time healing (e.g., bandages). Swap depending on urgency.

10. Fast Mask Energy Recharge
Use the Mysterious Stone Table instead of spamming sunstones. Craft Energy Gathering Crystals (10k energy each). Place one sunstone as fuel and the rest as material to craft the energy refill. These items instantly max your mask energy when used.

11. Weapon & Armor Mod Stacking

• Mods stack, so apply multiple types: damage, bleed, coma, paralysis, durability.
• Armor accepts mods like concealment, radiation, defense, and damage resistance.
• Some accessories (e.g., rings) only accept durability mods until late-game.

12. Dungeon Navigation Hack
To find bosses in mechanical dungeons, follow the door lighting logic:

• One lit light + one unlit = path to boss
• Two lit lights = not the correct path This works on wall-mounted lights and doorframe lights. Follow the “one-on, one-off” rule to the boss room every time.

Conclusion
These tips will help streamline your early and mid-game experience in Soulmask. From safe mount travel to efficient resource management and dungeon navigation, these core mechanics are crucial for surviving and thriving.
