Here is a collection of the best locations I found when searching for my second base.
Having a dedicated ore base is essential for reasonable progression in the tech tree, but there are plenty of ore spots on the map, so I judged my locations harshly: plenty of ore, easy to defend from raids, and bonus points if near a dungeon and close to a skill berry tree that is not already near a fast travel.
I have left off locations with extreme temperatures for now.
Location 1: Waterfall Cliffside
- Coordinates: 309, -36
Pros:
- Very Protected.
- Skill Berry Tree at the bottom of the cliff.
- Easy access to the Jormuntide Boss.
- Good start for northern exploration.
Cons:
- Limited build area.
Location 2: Desert Overlook
- Coordinates: -35, -167
Pros:
- Mostly Protected.
- Skill Berry Tree is almost inside the base.
- Easy access to the desert and the Anubis boss.
- Can collect sulfur from nearby desert.
- Nearby Caged Pal for easy collection.
- Base is centrally located for further exploration.
Cons:
- No scenic waterfalls.
right north of Chillet Boss, accross the suspended bridge on top of the mountain is a location easy to defend thye spawn at the bottom and cant climb and you get a ton of ore.
theres a lot in the red area close to spawn
Funny. I had scouted two of these locations on my own. Then boom you just confirmed that they are awesome spots. There is another near bamboo grove that only has one slope entrance that I’m debating. Thanks for the guide!!!
Location 3: Western Hilltop
It’s a terrible place for a base, because it gets raided from all sides, and you have to put the palov box strictly between the ores, because that’s the only place it can stand up
Second base location definitely a really good, much better than the first one imo! Good guide!
