Quest Steps

Step 1

Start by gathering some components to build Plank Walls and "scaffolding".

• Obtain 4x Sticks (0/4)
• Obtain 28x Plank (0/28)
• Obtain 2x Timber (0/2)

Step 2

Plank walls are higher quality than Log Walls.

• Place 2x blocks from this list: Plank Wall, Plank Wall With Window, Plank Wall With Shutters (0/2)
• Build 2x blocks from this list: Plank Wall, Plank Wall With Window, Plank Wall With Shutters (0/2)

Step 3

Building Higher can seem challenging but placing some stairs and Wall-Walks as "scaffolding" makes it easy. Start with some Small Stairs on an outside wall and don't forget to leave room near the top of the stairs for the Wall-Walk.

Step 5

Now that you can reach higher you should probably think about upgrading the roof. Gather some wooden components for a better roof.

• Obtain 1x Sticks (0/1)
• Obtain 3x Timber (0/3)
• Obtain 6x Plank (0/6)

Step 6

Climb up your "scaffolding" again and build a wooden roof. Keep in mind that you can use the concept of temporary "scaffolding" to reach the top of any structure with a little thought and experimentation.
