Recruiting villagers in Aska is essential for building a thriving Viking settlement without spending countless hours on manual labor. Instead of spending hours gathering resources and managing tasks on your own, you can enlist the help of NPC villagers to streamline your efforts. This process not only saves time but also enhances your gameplay experience by allowing you to focus on exploration and combat.
In this guide, we will talk about how to recruit villagers in ASKA, so you won’t have to spend endless hours doing chores. So, let’s begin!
How to Recruit Villagers in Aska
To recruit villagers in ASKA, you will have to construct The Eye of Odin, a magical lighthouse that guides stray Vikings to your village. This beacon requires several specific materials and tools to build, which you can gather from the surrounding environment.
The Eye of Odin uses something called Jotun Blood – it’s full of Norse magic. It lights up the sky to show Vikings the way to your village. This is great because each new person can help out with tasks, saving you a ton of time.
Building The Eye of Odin isn’t super easy, though. You’ll need to gather some stuff from nearby:
- 2 Long Sticks: You will have to chop down trees for these.
- 8 Regular Sticks: Pick them up or chop long sticks.
- 5 Small Stones: Find on the ground or break bigger rocks.
- 2 Large Stones: Break big rock formations
It goes without saying that a number of tools will be required to acquire all of these resources and construct The Eye of Odin. These consist of a wooden hoe to level the construction site, a stone pickaxe to collect big and tiny stones, a stone axe to get long sticks, and a wooden hammer to accomplish the actual building. You can find the crafting instructions for each of these tools below:
- Stone Pickaxe:
- 1 Stick
- 2 Stone Blade: You can make two Stone Blade by using two little stones.
- 1 Rope: Made with two pieces of fiber.
- Stone Axe
- 1 Stone Blade
- 1 Stick
- 1 Rope
- Wooden Hammer
- 2 Stick
- Wooden Hoe
- 2 Stone Blade
- 4 Stick
Okay, so building The Eye of Odin is just the start when it comes to getting new villagers. You also need to find something called Jotun Blood.
How to Find Jotun Blood Shards
Jotun Blood Shards are rocks with glowing blue patterns. You’ll need your stone pickaxe for this, but be ready to make a few. These pickaxes break easily, and Jotun Blood is harder to find than regular stones.
To get one villager, you need five pieces of Jotun Blood. Once you have them, go back to The Eye of Odin and put the Jotun Blood in. Then hit activate to call a new villager.
You’ll see a screen where you can choose what kind of villager you want. Think about what your village needs – maybe a builder, a warrior, or an explorer? Hunters and fishers are good choices early on.
After you pick, you’ll need to wait about 10 minutes in the game for your new Viking to show up. The timer stops if you pause or quit the game, so it’s best to keep playing and do other stuff while you wait.
Don’t forget to build a place for your new villager to sleep. They won’t be happy if they don’t have somewhere to rest!
