Welcome to Irvington! Check the map for POIs. https://b42map.com/

Spawn in Rosewood and gather supplies for a day or two, load up your Burglar van and go West young man.

Clear the area around the warehouse and nearby streets. Use the large fields nearby to Forage.

The Beef Jerky factory is right next door. Enough protein to fuel your adventures for weeks.

Also a safe place to use Firearms. Be careful of Sprinters.

Welding and Mechanics XP across the street.

Time 4 Sport. Located on the West side. Get your melee weapons, clothes and armor here.

Well Regulated Militia Gear & Supply is just a little further up. Also try the Gun Club in the North part of town.

Don't forget to bring a Welding Torch and Mask. Both entrances have metal barriers.

Farming Supply Store. Load up on tools and building essentials here.

It's late in the growing season. Plant Barley and Winter Wheat. Build drying racks for Foraged items.

Go for a Gas run and find a Generator to connect later.

Close in the front entrance to make more space for activities, and to make an area for plumbing sinks.

Climb out the window upstairs and build Rain Collectors.

Sleep in a car/chair until you have higher Carpentry Skill and can find or build a bed. The TV gives off enough light to read.

Find a radio with AEB weather station on it. It will be different in every run. Know the weather ahead of time.

Tailoring was still a pain in the neck. Do activities in your car if you took Wakeful and woke up early, even in the dark.

Use fences when surrounded or dealing with Sprinters.

Poultices came in handy to Level First Aid. I found the Wilderness Survival Magazine early, making Foraging safer.

Find a Battery Charger to keep your vehicles running. Keep it within range of your generator.

2 Months.

Combat and Crafting Skills.

Other Skills after 2 months. At Level 6 Strength you will gain the Stout Trait and more carry weight.

Map after 2 months. Gas stations and VHS store just up the street. Look for a car dealership on the left, near the corner.

Work on Carving to eventually make your own Baseball bats and weapons.

Found Sledgehammer at McCoy Logging. Look in the back of trucks for a good chance to find one.

Let in more light now with a backdoor. Peter Gabriel said It wasn't up to fire code.

Wash clothes in Bathtubs until you can connect your own washer and dryer.

Level Electrical Skill to operate generators, I did not find the Magazine quickly this time.

Plumb washer to rain barrels upstairs and wash clothes again. Need Electrical Level 3 to move Washing machine.

Look for Trade Skill vans. They will often have Books and Tools in them. Also they are really great vehicles.

Finally found it after I was Level 3 Electrical. Oh well, nice to put in the collection.

3 months. The Flower and Apple symbols represent good places to Forage, and places I found Ginseng and other herbs.

Zed count after 3 months. Baseball Bat with Rake Spikes was the clear winner. Metal Bat with Bolts was also good.

Physical Skills after 3 months. Foraging was easy to level, even without some of the Magazines.

Swing by the Speedway and go for a few laps. There will be lots of race fans to cheer you on!

Guns Unlimited is nearby. Bring a durable vehicle with lots of cargo. Level your Mechanics Skill and get it ready.

Warning! There will be a crowd. Bring many weapons and supplies. It may take a few days to get in there.

Ammo, Books, Guns, you name it, they got it. It was still pretty busy on the shooting range side, so I kept quiet.

Went to Ekron to check the Bookstore and other POIs.

Looked for Tailoring books in Brandenburg here at the Pondview Shopping Center. They had Level 1-3 but not 4.

Knit clothes for winter and level Tailoring. XP is based on quality of items produced, not applying patches anymore.

Save Bulletproof Vests for later and gather Aramid Thread.

Found a rare Katana! Look for zeds with them sticking out when driving around.

Use an Old/Antique stove to cook with and heat your home when the power goes out. Winter is coming.

I collected key rings and scratch tickets. You could be a winner !

Clothes, Weapons and Tools. (Multitool on Key Ring)

Items to carry in Alice Belt or Chest Rig. (Lighter & Painkillers are hidden)

Annotated maps I found. Safe journey to you Best Burglar!
