What Defenses Against Boar

[Artyom15]

Umm, Fish Pies and Blueberry Pies bro, those are great for Int and Per.

And right after I posted that I remembered you can't use generic intestines for rennet anymore. Thing is I don't need more Perc - already at 29, 37 with my Spectacles. But Fsh Pies seem to grant the most Int. FEP, and I have... way too many eggs at this point that I need to do something with them.

Go you mean that your perc is way ahead of your other stats? Because although 37 is indeed my favourite number (as my nickname suggests), it's still quite far from enough.

It isn't that far ahead, but I don't want to dump FEP into it right now - thats what my stupidly large amount of carrots is for. It would be really nice if there was a pure INT food that wasn't a cheese right now.

Get Perch, it's a fish that when Sizzling gives +6 int at 10q.

You can use shield up and ua defence of the color that shield up is missing ( dont remember which one,didnt fight for long ;< )

I just kinda... spam blocks. Tends to work pretty well. What I am wondering now though is when do blocks stop being ineffective? I have 35 AGI, 35 UA and 21 MC but Boars are still able to plough through 1.5 to 2 of my defenses per attack. Kinda opens me up to taking lots of hits.

Get your Agi to 50 and you MC and UA to 50.

Base? For what?
40+40 from gilding is enough to kill mammoth, dunno why you would need 50 for smaller animals. U can get 15 meelee+15 from gilding, and other stats to 30. Use horse and build I wrote and you should be fine even with bigger animals (since you can run away using horse right).

Remember, this is assuming he only has Leather Armor, if that.

Remember, this is assuming he only has Leather Armor, if that.

If he has only leather armor, he needs less, since leather armor is taking less agility than other stronger armors. I mean he shouldn't learn fighting naked, but basically, if you're not using CTC or DH, fighting naked means you need less stats than with full plate gear if you know what I mean.

[Artyom15]

I've found that unless I'm using a CTC, armour breaks down extremely quickly. Leather Armour was pretty much destroyed with the last boar I fought - but that could've been due to my terrible stats, rather than the armour itself. But if it breaks down after a fight or two then I won't be able to kill 5 boars, which is the minimum number to break even on my armour investment. How many boar-fights does leather armour last for y'alls?

Or... maybe I'll just stick to killing bats for leather. But that isn't exciting.

heres how to fight a boar with 1 UA and come victorious
1. put yourself on grassland
2. have punch, left hook, jump, quick dodge and sidestep
3. make the boar upset at you
4. run away until you get quick dodge and sidestep up (put up jump alongside those two if he gets more than 1 IP)
5. punch or low blow depending on what is more unguarded (never punch on tusk romp)
6. repeat steps 4 and 5 until boar runs away from you, in which case use an axe or punches to finish it off

alternative
1. make a crappy set of bronze chestplate and maybe leather boots or something
2. have jump up at all times
3. grats you're unkillable, neither foxes, boars, badgers or deer can scratch your armor (or you)

Or...you can be lIke me.

1. Be super paranoid that everything will kill you.
2. Engage combat with nothing(not even rabbits, I watched Monty Pythons Holy Grail, I've seen what they can do!)
3. Gear up...like...way up.
4. Wait until you CTC & DH from a trade at over q130
5. Get Strength, Perc & Agility over 100
6. Get UAC & MC to 50+
7. Finally have the balls to go up against a boar
8. Realize you didn't need a quarter of that
9. Cry, collect tears, package them and send them to JordanColes
