Here are some tips, tricks and info for any beginner, or even novice to check out, the games got so much to it that it makes it tough to excel at everything instantly.
Resources Are Everything
Resources are what get you armor, weapons, and the means to protect yourself in the night cycle. It's incredibly important and often overlooked at the beginning of the game since everyone wants to try to kill or explore. However, when you initially start the game try to collect as many resources near your village as you can.
To get the basic equipment you'll need to get hold of iron, stone, wood, leather, silver, and small bones. There are so many you need to collect but it's super important to set time aside to collect as much as you can. You should have enough time to sort out your weaker gear before heading into tougher biomes but it's really important to remember the importance of resources and crafting items, you'll need them constantly.
Upgrade Upgrade Upgrade
When you find a set of armor or a weapon you really love using it can be a challenge to part with them, even if you start becoming a little underpowered. Nevertheless, in Tribes of Midgard upgrading constantly is the key to survival, particularly in the Saga mode. You need to look for lumberyards, quarries, and farms to keep alive, especially with all the resources they'll give you.

That being said, don't get selfish, upgrade those farms, quarries, and lumberyards and you'll be overwhelmed with useful resources. You should also try to upgrade your villagers, especially the tinker and blacksmith, they'll be more useful than you could ever imagine. Upgrade your village and yourself often.
Search For Shrines
Shrines are equally pretty and important. You can recognize them on the map from the star icon and they are usually a little tough to get to at the beginning. However, these shrines can be unbelievably useful landmarks that you need to keep an eye out for.
They're essentially fast travel points that allow you to get back to your village, no matter how far away you actually are. This will help you get to where you need to be without the endless running, but they're only available once you've found them. Make this a priority and you'll be forever using them.
Golden Horns
There are so many useful resources and landmarks in Tribes of Midgard to keep an eye out for, but Golden Horns can be one of the most useful by far. They're a little tough to get hold of, only being rewarded to you after killing a Jötunn, but that's where people can mess up. These rare rewards are so easy to spend and it feels right doing so, but many don't realize there's a limit on the number of horns you can get per session!

Therefore you’ll need to preserve it for succeeding runs and try to be really careful using them. Do spend them when you need to though as they can get you legendary equipment and some really useful runes.
Save Eir Effigies
Eir Effigies are pretty useful and will definitely save your life at some point in the game. There are two useful ones you'll come across, red and blue which give you health and mana respectively. Due to the usefulness of a little extra health and mana, it can be really easy to use them whenever you need a little pick-me-up. That can be a good plan but they should really be saved for more important occasions.
It's vital to keep hold of a few Effigies when you and your team are preparing to battle a legendary enemy or a Jötunn. It all depends on your power and skill but those battles are tough and the last thing you want is to have used all your effigies before a battle like that.
Use The War Chest
Located just by the armorer in your village, the war chest is an often overlooked lifesaver. If you're playing multiplayer this chest can hold items that can be shared between every player. That being said, it's still really useful for single players too, since you don't need to get the items out to use them.
It's probably best to put resources in here so your inventory isn't clogged up as you can use them while they're in the chest. It's also a good place to put backup armor and weapons since it all remains in the chest when you die so you can grab something to defend yourself quickly.
The Blood Moon
When you're just starting the game a blood moon can be hell. It brings tougher enemies and can be a real challenge at lower levels. However, once you know how, these blood moons can be a really good way to progress and grab some materials and resources.
The night after the blood moon you'll see that no Helthings will attack the village.
Every few days, a blood moon will bring in tougher enemies. The night after, no Helthings will come after the village. Players should use this to their advantage and try to farm enemies, resources and search the area without the worry of your village being in danger.
Get Tons Of Souls
Even after playing the game for a short while it becomes apparent that souls are the most important aspect of the game. Due to this, it becomes pretty obvious that you may need to farm for them. It can be a little tedious though so here are some tips for the best ways to farm souls:
- Kill weaker enemies like Wolves, Goblins and Dökkalfars
- Target Camps
- Chase and slay Jötunns a day or two after they arrive
- Catch the Roosters of Ragnarock
- Finish side quests
Try out some of these tips and you'll be rich with souls. Just make sure you prioritize them, there's little you'll be able to do without souls.
