Caves of Qud Daily 2026-07-03 by @oblivioncubed on 3Speak
We're playing cavesofqud daily! Today's Daily gives us a Tinker, which is a super beginner-friendly option, and I show none of that as I die almost immediately. Such is the way of things in QUD. --...

Good day. It's a believing cube. We're back for another Caves of Cod daily. Tried to record one yesterday. messed up the recording, so we don't have one for yesterday. Today's 184 of 2026. We've got Tinker, awesome start. We've got double-muscled, freezing ray, stinger, Kindle, time dilation, and quantum jitters. Some of these, I forget kind of what they do. The time dilation and quantum jitters, I don't remember. I know that they're technically debuffs. We're going to be fine. So we're going to jump in here and give this a go. This will be my last cud video for a week. I will be way up in the bush and at a lake, not anywhere close to a computer or internet or anything. I will be very much enjoying nature for a week here, and then we'll get back to doing some good old caves of cut. Engraved Strange Furniture, that's going to be some sort of bed, probably. I think we're going to actually, I would kind of like to come and examine that. Yeah, I'm sure we're not going to damage it. It's a peptic chair. Okay, cool, yeah, that's kind of what I thought. Yeah, I think we can, I don't know if we get effects from this or not. Is this also a peptic chair? Yes, it is. Okay, let's continue. Here we go. A tattoo of the village, uh, scenes of the village. Cool. Okay, more village lore, or Sultan lore, sorry. Still with that up down, no sense. Although this is a little bit better because there's a bunch of stuff on this map, so it's hard to tell. But it's being ridiculous. We are not using a torch. Okay, so let's pop one of these on here. And let's learn this, because we might as well. I'm going to disassemble these. And then let's take a look here. So who do we need to speak to? We need to speak to the Mechanimus Convert. Six days still. We'll make the journey. Absolutely. These trees are holographic. It flickers subtly. I bet you those are... I bet you those are holographic trees. Um, now, who are we going to speak with? Probably the elder and, oh, maybe the legendary goat. Hmm, what do you think? Let's go with the elder first and see if they have a quest for us. Liked by, dislike by Dromat merchants. That's ridiculous. Do you have work? Memruca to the northeast or Yerem to the southeast? Do you have something to trade? Not really. Okay. So the legendary pig farmer. We've been pouring over our records that came up on a nearby location forgotten to our people. The Tyra Farmstead. What mysteries might this place hide? The nectar of the eaters, the bounty of the earth, an altar to a torch. We must know. Yeah, okay. Somewhere between four and eight parasites north of a snapjaw fort. Okay, that's decent. And then the other guy was this guy, the apothecary. All right, wake up. And do you have work? Traveler, roaming shades came to a village the day, while breaking bread, they spoke of a delightful place, the proximal a can get, but they wouldn't reveal the location. Would you be willing to locate it? Yes, we will, absolutely. 1 to 4 parisines north of the Sumish Boroshadon. Okay. Yeah, that sounds good. We're going to eat whatever they have in this, and we gain 100% chance to take two. Gain 40 to 50 electric resist for six hours. That's pretty good. I don't mind that at all. Yeah, okay, is there anybody else that we want to speak to you? I think I want to talk to the warden just for a second. Yeah, we could water a ritual with him. Hated by frogs, dislike by trees. I don't care about frogs or trees. And yeah, I can absolutely share a secret with you. So I've brought up my relationship with the wardens to zero. That's decent. I kind of want to speak to the legendary goat as well, see if they have anything. Nope, and they don't. It's okay. And then, let's talk to... No, wait, the elder we've already talked to. What we need is the German merchant. Yep. Let's take you a look here. Oh, so this electrified wrench is actually probably better than the... That is almost certainly better than the other thing that we have. The basic, what was it, basic dagger we had? Yeah, a bronze dagger, okay. And that was in our primary hand. Why was this not in our primary hand? That's such an interesting choice. Of course, it's not powered right now, but that's okay. Okay, what we're gonna do is we're going to definitely sell this. Nope, that's not what I meant to do. There we go. Per usual, get rid of half-ish of our torches. And that'll probably be good enough. Okay. We can examine this artifact. It's going to be a bubble. thing or a gyre iron, yeah, one of those kind of common, um, common pieces to get. Um, what I wanted to look at here was quantum jitters will pull axe, sometimes dense space-time. Whenever you use an activated ability, there's a small chance, your focus slips, and you dent space-time in the local region, causing one to two spacetime vortices to appear. Ah, okay. had this before, and it gets a little hairy. Time dilation, that's pretty cool. Kindle will light fires, freezing ray. Kindle, I don't really care about, but freezing ray is just fantastic. Double-muscled is amazing. Stinger, any kind of stinger is pretty good. Confusing venom is real solid. Yeah, this is a good, this is a good build. Okay, let's pop out, let's take a look. So we've got one in the jungle, and then one in, that's the snapshot fort. So the snapshot fort one is, also they're both north, they're both north of their things. So four to eight parasites north, or one to four pairs of this one. So it's still, this is going to be in the jungle no matter what. This is going to be in the marshes or the canyons. So we're going to pop over to that one first. I do want to just do a little bit of shifting things around here, because lay mine, I don't care about it at all. Recharge, I don't care about. Yeah, I think I want freezing ray on my first ability. There we go. Okay. So let's pop, let's go down to center here. I'm gonna confuse that guy, try and kill him before he makes us bleed. Hmm, okay. Yeah, oh my gosh. You gotta be kidding me. I barely made it out of the village. What is that? Oh, man, that guy must have had, like, just a massive hit. Yeah. Yeah, so it must have had quickness that it was higher than me, because I tried to move away, and it hit me twice. That was this turn right here. 12 damage. 7 damage? Yeah, okay. And then instantly killed me. Brutal. Yeah, that is higher than I expect. Who? What, Hawks, what did you do? What did you do up here? If you complete the game, is that what you did? Amazing run, dude. Amazing run. That's really impressive. That might be this highest score I've seen on a daily in a barely long time, since I started doing dailies. Since I started playing, maybe. Good job to that guy. Holy moly, that's great. I've got people. That's good. Okay, well, that's going to be it, unfortunately, for today. I might, since this did not take me very long, I might pop up another game, but we'll see. Until next time, as always, thanks for hanging out, thanks for watching. If you did do the daily, let me know how it went, let me know how you did, and yeah, as always, happy gaming.
