been grinding every day and this game has never been more rewarding. i'm gonna use this subreddit as a sort of milestone indicator with things i've learned/changed since my last pr to hopefully help others around my level.

1. respawn anchors. they seemed pretty scary to use initially because of the whole charging mechanism. but they are CLUTCH when it comes to a game you dont get enough string from trades. i actually only had 3 beds on my pr run but two anchors helped me get the dragon down on the first perch. respawn anchors are also great for hunger resets for no-food seeds if you dont want to spend time going to the overworld.

  
2. blaze bedding/tnt. i always thought that this was more of a hindrance than a benefit cause it always felt like the blazes just went off the edge and i could never get the rods. but the key is to get the soul sand down as fast as possible and it actually reduces the knockback by a ton. also the rates go up significantly.

  
3. you dont gotta wait for all the gold to get traded. if you've got your 20 obby, 2ish stacks of pearls, a couple fire res, and a stack of string. anything else is just wasting time. get out there and find the fortress!

  
that's mostly it for this one. i'm looking into getting more comfortable with zero cycling, as that will be a huge time save for the future. similarly i am looking into more complicated routes like the soog/triple to gap to save time in bastions. sorry for the book, and let me know if you have any tips for me!
