I started a new playthrough on a private server and I'm in the Ashlands with silver knife, Skoll and hatti, a demolisher and medium askvin armour lvl 1. I have not farmed any flametal. There are some people in the deep north fighting the final boss on this server.
However I tweaked my mouse from 250dpi to 800dpi and in the process was fixing the input sensitivity on some games and I got back into darktide. My razer was disconnecting with 250 dpi for some reason but its happier with 800dpi. Razer support suck though.
