#the difference between joel’s first months on hermitcraft and skizz’s

[dredgesnails]

i hope joel keeps getting involved in increasingly absurd romance plots with other hermits. let it be a running joke throughout the season. get doc involved somehow

Ive been thinking of starting hermitcraft or life series (im not entirely sure what the difference is but something about war and drama on one and builds on another), do you have a recommendation for where to start with either of them?

(Also trying to figure out which one id like the best or maybe ill just get into both)

For the Life Series, you can watch any season you want in any order you want. There's no Deep Lore or anything, just maybe some small references from previous series.

But, if you were curious, the order is: Third Life -> Last Life -> Double Life -> Limited Life -> Secret Life (and then -> Real Life lol)

If you're in it for deep drama and lore... the pov you watch will depend on the season, because sometimes Lore People do different things in different seasons. The only guy that does like Perpetual Lore might be Martyn (Inthelittlewood)?

But, if you wanted to start in the very very beginning with Third Life, the common recommendations are Grian, Scar, Ren, Martyn, Scott. But tbh I think that Cleo and Joel and Pearl are always good options, especially past that first season.

As for Hermitcraft, that's the One With Building... and wars, but those are pretty rare. Lore isn't a huge priority, but some hermits do their own little Lores in their individual seasons, and there's usually one or two Server Lores per season.

There's no order to the seasons, but we are on season 10. Seasons tend to go long (I think season 9 lasted about two years, give or take a few months), so it's good to jump in now towards the beginning.

The hermits I'm personally watching this season are Joel, Grian, and Scar. But I'll give some recommendations below for hermits that do things you might be interested in just off the top of my head!

Crazy insane amazing builds: Bdubs, Pearl, Gem, Joel, Scar, Grian

Redstone magic: Impulse, Etho, Mumbo, Tango, Doc

Lore Guys: Ren, Grian, Pearl-ish (depends on the season I think), Doc

Weird Little Guys: Joe Hills, Zedaph, Joel (yes, he counts)

Chill Stuff: Cleo, Skizz, Joe Hills, plenty of others tbh

But tbh it might just be good to look around, there are SO MANY HERMITS that I didn't even list because I don't know their content well enough!

I will say that you don't need to watch every hermit. That would be like. 30-something episodes a week on average, and that's assuming it's only one episode per hermit, and it doesn't include streams from Scar/Cleo/Ren or stuff like Vodskall

There's a lot of overlap between the Life Series and Hermitcraft, and the Life Series members will be in a lot of Hermit Series because they're all pretty good friends! So if you start with Life and you like someone, follow down their little rabbithole until you find a hermit you dig. Y'know?
