What stats should I have to kill foxes
I just got the archery skill and am making a sling (just have to wait for my leather to tan). I only have 1 marksmanship. Should I upgrade this or any of my other stats before I can safely kill foxes? Also would you recommend shooting them from a boat, or just from on land?

From a boat after you have fenced them in at the shore with signs. You need more than 1 MM. I'd suggest a bare minimum of 10.

10 mm and 10QL sling kill anything but deer.
you dont even need signposts from a boat because you will not hit high enough to make it run.
Signpost Mouflon and aroch's and shoot them from land, since they cant break posts

Mouflons and Aurochsen can be killed without signs since they never flee.TheTylerLee wrote:10 mm and 10QL sling kill anything but deer.

Unless you're talking about melee fighting it, in which case this thread viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6518 is a great intro to combat that should walk you through it.

Re: What stats should I have to kill foxes
For some reason my sling is only q5. I think I used better stuff to make it so my guess is it is due to me low stats soft capping it. Does this make a big difference?

No. You'll do a little less damage and you're hardcapped at 10 MM but by the sounds of it you don't have that anyway.dakepwns wrote:For some reason my sling is only q5. I think I used better stuff to make it so my guess is it is due to me low stats soft capping it. Does this make a big difference?

Re: What stats should I have to kill foxes

OK, I have a bit of an odd issue. When I logged in, there was a boar and a fox right outside my camp. the character yous ee is my alt, which I used to box in the fox. After this, the boar charged into my village and broke the wall, and tried to attack my main. I ran into the house and I'm too scared to bring my main out of the house. The boar is not attacking my alt. It's just standing there and I walked right up to it and nothing happened. What should I do?
EDIT: Ok, after several minutes the boar killed my alt. Now there's no way I'm coming outside. I think the boar is still inside my fence but I can't see it now.

Re: What stats should I have to kill foxes
You need to wait for about 15 minutes for the boar to respawn. Spawn another alt at the location of your home to check. To prevent animals from spawning inside your home again, encompass the area with a personal claim.

Re: What stats should I have to kill foxes
I do have a claim on the area. The boar spawned right next to it and charged in when it saw my main.
I just spawned a new alt and the boar is still there. If the boar goes away in 15 minutes will the fox go away too?
