After gambling up my latest batch of skills I get dressed and start my work out routine, then fill the fire pit and light it. The fresh cut wood doesn't burn well but I just need it to smolder abit to keep the ground under me warm as I sleep. Turning in for the night, I wake up in my bed. Getting up I head to the farmers market to help out, afterwards I return home and workout abit indoors before cooking and booting up my xbox. I get on titanfall and resume grinding out every weapon, not sure if it'll ever help, also get the hacking skill. Rodeoing titans is nerve wracking but I do a few before the nuke titans show up, I'm not getting blown up. Near midnight I finally quit and curl up in bed.
Waking up in my delightfully warm shelter. Good lord I should've done this sooner, I can definately make it through winter like this. Well assuming I can get some hides for insulation. But at least I'll live long enough to get to the superhuman threshold. So I start the days normal routine, get some breakfast and new pets, level my skills, grab a few trained pets and further train them with Teach Intimidate while I meditate in the creek, then run to the fire to warm up and gamble a few skills.
First I max out my new Tribal Spell Sacrificial Drowning then.
Tribal Spell Share Aquatic Skills + Tribal Spell Sacrifical Drowning = Talent Breathe Water Mana

....
Tribal Spell Share Aquatic Skills + Grasshopper Leap = Giant Seashell Grip
Freaking sweet finally an awesome power to hold onto anything!

...no...
Tribal Spell Share Aquatic Skills + Sprint = Weary Tribal Casting

...pretty sure this is awesome but useless to me
Tribal Spell Share Aquatic Skills + Backpacking = Water Logged Backpacking

It's something
After drying by the fires I stretch, get dressed, and start dancing with my spear. After doing this for a while, I start wood carving again, I finished with the two items mid afternoon, then quickly weave a scrappy vine backpack and put a few woven items and my new carvings in it. Then strip down get the pack good and soaked then go for a quick nude jog up and down the creek bed to try and practice water Logged backpack jogging I guess. Then it's time for dinner and bed. Man my heated bed feels amazing after a strenuous day.
Waking up in bed once again I'm wondering what to do, all my plans have gone awry, grinding skills might technically help but the difference is so negligible I can't tell, I need relevant skills.
I go ahead and search carrot recipes in fallout 76 and eso, not thrilled with the 76 options, 76 does offer a decent path to master salt as an ingredient.... simply planting and harvesting might be the best I could do. Some carrot growing skills might amazing if I start a garden, otherwise it's just useless. Could also try buying ingredients in bulk on eso and going for an alchemy skill, if it's a real world ingredient it might boost my cooking abit. I'd love something that restores health or stamina, but focusing on real world ingredient the easiest item is sadly spider eggs... so spiders eggs and blue entoloma is the easiest to but in the guild shops and done...
