“The rules for Living off the Land are simple. No trade, no banking, no merchants, and no picking up anything off the ground that wasn’t dropped by something you killed. Now you know what it means to ‘Live off the Land!’” - the LOTL Leprechaun

Introduction

Living off the Land (LOTL) is an survival themed game mode in EUO that you can only opt-in to when you start a new character. Whole swathes of the game is now off limits to you. As the LOTL Leprechaun states:

  • You can't trade: so you can't get items from other players. You can't pick up any item that isn't soulbound to you (ie flagged as your possession from killing a monster or from crafting it yourself).
  • You can't bank: so once you hit your carry limit you have nowhere to store excess items. Unless you have a house. Inventory management becomes very important.
  • No merchants: you can't buy from NPC merchants. That means no easy access to potions, weapons, food, scrolls, EVERYTHING.

You can interact with quest NPCs and complete most if not all quests.

Becoming LOTL

To be eligible for LOTL your character must be level 1, have zero experience and have not picked up or traded an item. To flag yourself for LOTL, the slash command is:

  • /lotl 1

To turn LOTL off, the command is:

  • /lotl 0

You can turn LOTL off for your LOTL enabled character at anytime, but once you do it is irreversible.

Changes in game play

  • rate at which tools drop increases until you have all of them
  • tools and wands do not break in use
  • low level LOTL players get a small increase in food and potions drops from bosses
  • lutes drop as a tool for LOTL
  • LOTL players get a seed when eating apples, tomatoes, peppers (only)
  • LOTL players can only store items in chests that they've crafted themselves
  • LOTL players can't share xp with non-LOTL players (and vice versa) in a party
  • LOTL players get increased returns from using deconstruction wands and polypile wands

Tips & Tricks

Having an existing house tied to your account is a massive plus as it allows you to store items since you can't use the bank. The only exception to not being able to buy from merchants is the LOTL House Deeds Merchant in Darbrough.

Polypiling is your friend.

Warning

Not for newbies! No seriously, not for new players, even if you are a masochist! Lotl is meant to be a very restrictive form of playing for experienced EUO players who want an extra challenge.
