How I deal with bosses, go range with as much will, cast chance, and mirage missle as possible, find a fully defensive pet with taunt. I can fight bosses above my current CP with this method.
A good way I found to help manipulate buildings towards housing buildings, activate the peasant, scavenger, and farmer classes only. Atleast, it worked for me.
@Anoneemous You actually can do a bit of character customization, you can't change genders, but you can change the name, title, skin color, facial features, visible armor, and portrait, or you can make a custom portrait all by clicking the gears at the bottom right of the character whilst in the inventory screen.
5 people - Piece of Cake
4 people - Still Kinda Easy
3 people - Getting kinda tough now
2 People - Pretty Hard but Gets Easier
1 Person - OMGWTFNIGHTMARE
Tip: If you want to idle early on, try getting mostly clay (while still getting everything else) You'll build housing more often so more random spawning.
