You'll want at least 1 Unarmed or Melee to fight boars. Around 20-25 Unarmed for foxes. 10 Marksmenship will let you kill bears and boars. ~10 Unarmed for killing deer. You'll need to strategize properly of course -- like shoot the boar until it flees then run after it donkey punching it until it dies -- but it's very easy to do at these levels.

That is correct.

And that's how you do it right there. When an enemy is fleeing, it has 0 Defense Weight. You can out run a boar. So you shoot it to make it flee, chase it, and punch it as it's running to do maximum damage regardless of your skill.

As for aim speed -- higher marksmanship and type of equipment determines how fast you aim. Slings are 3x faster than bows, for example. Maximum marksmanship you can utilize is 2x Equipment Quality. Equipment quality determines maximum damage.

So if thats the case.... Killing a boar would be fencing yourself and shooting it until it flees then punch it hard till it dies? and if i punch it will it aggro back?
Damn my q5 sling sucks :mrgreen:

No fence needed. If you've got water nearby, hop in a boat, pull out your sling, and aim. Smack it with rocks until it flees, get to shore and hop out after it. Switch to run speed and chase it down, punching it. You'll need to punch it 3-4 times. It will not re-aggro you.

Whatever you do, don't think that fencing yourself in will protect you. Boars break fences.

I see. Thanks for the info.
Just thought of fencing a boar near shore but i remembered how my 1st char died. Walked past a boar then BAM, knocked unconscious then killed.

Boar do sometime fight you when you chase them, it is very rare tought, but it hapened to me few time during last world. I'm not sure but i think it hapened when using other combat move than punch to speed up the process, so be carefull and have your boat near.

For the stat, i'm not sure anymore, it seam the stat requirement where lowered by a lot for this world, so i'm not sure yet. Last world for me it was 50marksmanship and 40 unarmed to kill fox, and since fox are so sweet now, being able to kill them easely and fast is a good thing. The best is to have 100+ mm and a good bow/arrows to me, but some prefer a sling.

They seem to have changed their behaviour: boar with like 50 HHP(ran away few times, luckily he was on island) turned back to fight when I tried to punch me. Well, first time I die this world.
