Are you guys bots?
As far as I know, the answer to your question is: No.
There doesn't seem to be any way to give items to NPCs and I haven't heard anyone mention anything of the kind, so, butt naked slaves it is.
For Game - need to restart at zero again or can one rescue one's save files and place back into appdata\local with any success?
I didn't try backing up save files and moving them to the new folder. There is one little trick I did do: Rename the WickedIsland folder.
It preserves all files and settings, that way you can try copying over save games and not worry about mixing or deleting anything.
I had tried just launching the new version and starting a new game and it kinda worked, but there were things that were just buggy or caused the game to freeze.
I haven't tried using a save file from the older version, so you are on your own if you give it a try. Good luck though if you give it a shot.

Run RUN to the water and they will not be able to go in after you. II start at Fisherman's hut area, just outside water ... rush in, move and selectively attack one or two then move to next or go to other side of dock on land and sit down before returning.

Try the wooded areas. Also, you can make branches from wood ( but that's for later, you gotta find branches first.)

Charcoal in the large rock areas everywhere. Bears and werebears usually live there.

When I masturbate to charm something, a pulsating meter pops up and I don't know how to end it. I'm guessing that it is the " Lewd Luring Minigame** — New masturbation-based scene trigger tied to enemy level. " All the links for help lead to paywall on Subscribestar or Steam.
EDIT: No replies; I figured it out for myself. Just need to mash the space bar repeatedly and they'll come to you. Not really impressed ... MC can just stand there and after a short time mash it again... and again for a new companion. (Also not a fan of mashing to crawl away, even from a group.)

there is also a charcoal spawn near some tall rocks by the ruined village up on the hill near the starting area where some goats spawn, just be careful if you're a lower level because several werewolves spawn in the village as well
i've ran into yet another bug, whenever i seduce Mira it spawns multiple versions of all the Greycott npcs and it doesn't count towards her seduction count so i can't get a slave collar from her...im honestly getting tired of getting game breaking bugs ive had to restart my game several times already with this version...
I have now tried using my save of a 8.6.0 new game that I had started fresh in 8.6.0 and set aside - it seems to work fine from an hour of undemanding just "testing if it crashes" going about. (oddly enough on my laptop this may be the most stable so far, even some tattoos that I had apparently been unsuccessful in character creation in 6.0 w reappear in 6.1)
Have not tried an 8.5.9 yet but will try.
Not sure I like the removal of the Grit points for new challenge system as harder to judge visually.
Shall test the 8.6.0 bugs that I had noticed and stopped (breast deflation on some sex and/or masturbation, bed freezing up (no longer usable), build plan locking up)
ETA
1. so far for me my 8.5.9 to 8.6.0 to 8.6.1 save is working okay
2. masturbation for combat "minigame"... either I totally do not understand it or its not working (or both)

1. Lucky you. Being one of those 'scumbag' pirates, I didn't have access to 8.6.0. It may not make a difference but it is always possible that there was some incremental update on that version that helped 'ease' the way to the current version.
2. When I first tried to use the masturbate function to lure in an enemy on the current version (0.8.6.1), the game locked up. I could see the lust meter moving, but I couldn't do anything to make it stop. Couldn't use escape to end it, couldn't use the X to close the screen. ALT+F4 worked fine though. ... I nuked my settings and saves after that and the game runs fine now.
I am not sure what to think about the masturbate option to capture enemies now either. I understand the basics of it though, press the space bar when the meter is in the white area of the bar. Enemies have a difficulty, which is reflected in how fast the meter rises and falls.
Werewolves move the bar fairly steadily, drakes move the bar pretty damn fast. No idea if the difficulty is just level based or not.
Things I have noticed:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.
Log in or register now.
Until you can make Royal or Legendary armor, it is your best option, but it is pretty crippling to use anywhere except in snowy areas.
Just standing around inside my home and my character is HOT, which means -1 stamina regen. When you only have 1 Stamina regen, it means you have to run around naked (which is a fine view) or just accept that you will have to sit and rest ... a lot.
Wearing steel armor in the desert is a nightmare. In just a minute or two in the desert area and your character gains the scorching status effect, which is -2 stamina regen. Yeah. You actively lose stamina just walking around, and even resting can't over come the loss.
I know. Use Iron armor. I haven't tried it yet, but with the revamp of combat, you need all the defense you can get and Iron armor just doesn't cut it compared to steel.

I believe it is level based. Each time I snag a monster that has that super fast mini game it ends up being really high level. My first run in with drakes they were all over level 100 and I hadn't even gotten to level 20 yet.
Also, I cannot figure out for the life of me why there is so much hate for stamina regen with this dev. Seems many players must feel the same with this hate. Most of the rest of the game is quite easy and just takes time, but stamina regen has always sorta pissed me off. I made a suggestion in the feedback channel on discord to change stamina regen from +1 per second to +1% per second to accommodate the eventual increase of stamina pool. But only one other person agreed. Now this update basically took a shit on stamina regen. I just don't get it...
I was level 30 or so on my first encounter with a drake (75 or so) and it took me quite a few tries, with a lot of blind luck, to sex one of them 3 times for Isabel's quest.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would love to see stamina regen use a percentage, instead of a flat rate. It would add value to things like leather or bronze armor.
But, it would just make the 'end game' even more broken than it already is. I think that might be the crux of the whole issue; the end game. I mean, with legendary armor and a dark steel weapon, the character is pretty godlike.
Adding a ton of stamina regen would just make things worse, since your character would never have to consider resting or using a stamina potion.
It almost feels like the Dev is changing things to try and slow down progression to the end game gear as much as possible. The harvesting nerfs. The stamina nerfs. The boosted combat strength of all enemies.
It just all feels focused on slowing and retarding the players advancement, by making their progress as much of a struggle as they can.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My feelings:
With the current changes to enemy levels, even steel armor feels like cheap crap. It just forced me even further into avoiding everything I could and focus on chasing down the end game gear.
With bronze armor, I was scared to even fight wolves.
With steel armor and great sword, I felt a little better, but I still struggled with pretty much any enemy I encountered. I managed to stumble my way into a single Crystal and upgraded my steel chest plate and it made combat a bit better.
I managed to sneak 3 more and had T3 steel chest and pants and the game felt playable, tough but playable, even the vampires and minotaurs were okay to fight.
Since you can now find drake scales in the special chests in the mazes, I hunted every maze (and demon statue) I could and found enough scales and crystals to make T3 Legendary legs and arms (they need fewer scales). After that point the game felt fine.
Once I had collected enough scales (killing drakes) to make T3 legendary chest and pants, I was on cruise control and just smashing everything.

I agree, but my argument is simply that when you start a new game you kinda have more stamina regen than when you start to progress. Changing regen from +1 to +1% would keep the regen the same when the pool gets larger and more stamina is being used with tougher enemies.
Don't forget the stamina consumables. Their values have been halved. Also, you no longer regen HP when in combat. It will only restart when you move away far enough from the enemy.
Totally agree. I got steel armor fairly quickly, but so many enemies were still such high levels their lucky shots nearly killed me. One of the first enemies I seen with the new build was a level 60 wasp. I remember how they used to hit before 8.5.9 so I said fuck that.
On a different note, I checked out the two new dungeons and they are pretty cool. The keys for each are not easy to see, but at least they are in the most appropriate location and not at the end of a tunnel buried under rubble, which is what I was fearing to be true.
The saving/loading system is fucking awesome now as well. I haven't turned on autosaves yet, but I think I'm going to because its not 10 second freeze anymore. Its nearly instant.
The weather is very cool and even seems an improvement over the demo (at least for the rain). The snow is even better with a real feel of being outside in the snow with the sounds and everything. And when the snow melts or after the rain stops there are water puddles everywhere and running thru them actually sounds like I'm running thru a water puddle.
I think the main issue with enemies right now is that they can spawn too high of a level for the player even when decently geared up. A person shouldn't be running into a level 60 wasp within 5 minutes on a new character. But since these things don't ever change it is likely that teh dev doesn't have a way to alter their level based on player level. It sure would be nice to be able to see some stats without having to engage in combat first. I mean I can dodge and run away if it looks too high, but when I can get one shotted that is an incredible risk each time.
But yea, this stamina is balls. Especially now with the Hot debuff and Scorching debuff so commonly placed on the player now. But like you said, I keep stamina potions on me at all times now and I do like having the need to make them and use them.
Parrying is still broken and now so is Birth skill. So I find no reason to turn on pregnancy after Isabel's quests. This was a little disappointing.
Its also a struggle to raise Deviancy with this new system. I like the idea of a mini game to struggle with, but I think this struggle is too much and likely not intended. Just like everything else that gets implemented it probably just doesn't work correctly right now.
I can't get the Archdemon to take the bait and fuck me, but that may be because I'm only level 21. The grit system was replaced, but I think there is still some reference to grit so I'm assuming that level disparity still plays a role. Grit used to max at level 27 so if I cannot engage with the Archdemon by then I'll assume its either not impleneted yet or its broken. Haven't seen anyone in discord specifically complain about that so who knows.
Also also, did you know your character can perform a super gliding jump? I call it the flying squirrel for obvious reasons. I discovered this in 8.5.9, but only fairly recently because it kept happening and I finally figured out what was causing it. While sprinting forward (holding shift) if you jump or double jump then release the shift button immediately after you release the jump button your character glides for a while like gravity was reduced significantly. The key is releasing the shift button. This means you can also do this without sprinting, but just running and after you jump you have to tap the shift button, not hold it as it is the release of the shift button that activates the glide. Good for shorter glides I guess like maybe around your base where you may not have room accommodate that distance. I've been using this a lot and its quite fun. However, since it carries you farther it also makes it harder to judge elevation of your landing and I died once from being too careless. Still... its kinda fun.
The stamina consumables have been at those halved values for a few updates before 0.8.6.1. I griped about it before, but mostly due to the fact that the description stated +90 or +80, but the value you actually got on your character was only 40 or 45.
I knew about the potions, but you have to venture into the desert to collect sand and like you, the first time I saw a level 60+ wasp, I said fuck that and just suffered.
Yes, the new weather is pretty awesome. My favorite is the thunderstorm, especially if it is at night. The driving rain, the high wind howling all around you, then the lightning bolts striking and lighting up the entire area with stark black shadows and blinding white flashes.
I, I learned something. I did not know you could double jump in this game. I will have to try that out some time.
The parry skill does work, it is just kind of crap.
You have to stand there and wait for enemies to attack and just before their attack lands ... right click and hold. If you time it right, you block crap tons of damage, if you miss, yeah, better luck next time.
It is pretty worthless for most mobs though since they have fairly quick attack animations, but for Ogres and Minotaurs, it works great, if you can get the timing right.
That was how I was able to beat the Minotaur mazes with only steel armor. I still got pummeled but if I got one of them alone, I could usually parry their big attacks.
