Not sure how it is now, but in Alpha I skipped a lot of harvesting progression by only focusing on tools and using someone else's crafting stations. Plus, if you primarily use stone/dirt/wood you should be able to start building as soon as you can afford the shaping tools (line, smooth, etc.).

Right, to build you don't need much to get started. And truth be told the progression aspect of the harvesting tools is better now than it was even a week ago. I spent a couple of hours just getting enough Thistle Seed for whichever ones needed it (I forget) because I just couldn't find the trees that spit them out. Then the patch hit and now they're everywhere. I'm willing bet anyone could, at the moment, get up to a Mithril Pick and Rubicite Axe within a few hours of starting from scratch if they had an idea of what they need to do. Now, once caves go in, that's a game changer. Still, to get all your building stuff doesn't require you to go that far.
So I never noticed this until I ran past an recognized your tower, but my claim is just down the way from your tower. It is indeed tall as fuck.

Thanks to a beta key from thos very thread i started out fresh in cb and can say getting all your harvesting and building tools done takes like 1 hardcore day (i needed 2 cause of sleep and cooking and tv).
For a quick starter i recommed /join general and ask around for a mith pick and rubi axe since plenty of those floating around by those legendary tool attempts.
Oh and also use other people stations since there are plenty around.
Edit:
Also i noticed that the claim management shows all claims will expire on the 14th(?) so would that be the expected date for the cave biome revamp?
Ponytail dropped in a recent interview they were like 2-3 weeks away so that date would match.

So I got a 7day invite from SoE (Whidon in game unless my name been ganked for the first time ever). Not going to have much time to do anything till tomorrow however. Does the 7 days not start until I activate it from the email? Or will I have wasted two days by when I can start. Any idea when combat or anything beyond building will be in game.
Shame it's not a key I would likely give it out here being the amiable fellow I am . Not really the creative type who enjoys building stuff that has no function or purpose beyond perhaps looking nice.

That's a system thing. I logged in this morning to add some time to my claim and it had the same message but for 4/10. when I added some upkeep it changed to 4/14. So basically it's just telling you the drop dead date for when your entire claim is getting packed up.
[14:32:10] Your current location: -1657.79, 1286.44, -572.31
Im kinda going the opposite direction by building a bunker underground. It's just past the church and pyramid. There isn't much there at the moment, just one room where I was experimenting with some of the tools a bit. I know that a claim reset is coming up and much of what I'm doing is really tied to the claim itself so I've been focusing more or getting that elusive legendary pick.
Ultimately I want to make a fallout shelter.

Yeah, I've been farming mithril, obsidian and other high tier resources this past week for the same reason, and because I need a metric fuckton of certain stuff. It's really annoying that your max amount is 100k each in inventory and vault for things besides stone/dirt/sand, which I barely use. Hope they increase that at some point, so I can stop making chests.
Thought this was a cool bonus:
"People who help us develop the Landmark Adventurer class by participating in Alpha/Closed Beta will have the EverQuest Next Adventurer class unlocked when EverQuest Next launches."

Or faster if you have a friend. I was testing grouping with a friend who wanted to try it out. Grouped I was able to funnel her a ton of stuff she could not harvest herself while she harvested what she could and I got that at the same time. So I came away with a lot of the basic stuff I needed like heart wood and she had enough higher level minerals to skip right to cobalt pick.
I think on a fresh start two people working together could in the current crafting system max out their picks probably in an hour if they really were focused.

From the way he explained it, only the white light source is free and craftable, the colored ones are marketplace only, which if true, is fucking lame and sets a shitty precedent. What's next, cash only higher grade materials and textures?
Also, next week's patch will have an actual glass prop. No voxel glass yet, though.
Caves Teaser
Gonna be fun later when falling damage is added, populated with mobs and props, and ore/treasure is in place.

Watching the cave video a second time through, I noticed DG said they got the caves to "tile" correctly. I was under the impression that the caves would be created per-voxel, but it seems they're doing some kind of tiling method. If you look closely, you can see a couple of seams between tiles.
I imagine the tiling method they are using makes it far easier to control the quality of caves, whereas a per-voxel randomization would require a ton of checks to make sure the cave doesn't look like a mess of voxels that you can't navigate through.
