Enemies in order of difficulty?

Post by kemil88 »

So far now I can defeat
Ants
Fox
Badger (THANKS, BRONZE SWORD!)
Now I see that I really do a lot of damage with the bronze sword compared to before, and I'd like to fight different enemies, for example:
Mouflon
Boar
Aurochs

Mouflons, boars and aurochs are all of similar strengths, just slightly above badger.
Try with boars first, as they are the slowest and you can easily outrun it.

Or just hunt from the boat, that way you can always sail away if the fight goes south.

I don't really want to exploit doing things like fighting from a boat, my stats are:
STR: 26+12 if on current Realm
CON: 38
AGI: 29-2
DEX: 25
I have a Wooden Shield and a Bronze Sword (Also, is the Militia Sword, made with 2 Wrought Iron, much better?)

Bronze sword is better, unless the militia sword is 100q higher.
Also, try getting some leather or bronze armour.
What's your MC? Main stats used in combat are Agility and MC/UA.

MC is 20, I did read that also your strenght increase your damage in combat, anyway I did try to fight a boar, was going everything good when he did suddendly use 6ip to deal 60 damage, then I did lose after a few hits, I don't know how much HP he had but for sure he had far more than 200hp...

Boars have 350 hp. Sheep are weaker and faster, with less (~150-200?) hp. Aurochsen are stronger and faster, with similar hp.

hunting on horseback is very helpful because when they flee with the exception of the boar they run faster than you and have unlimited stamina.

Ants 50hp - 10ua/str/agi
Bat 80hp - 15ua/str/agi
Fox 125hp - 25ua/str/agi
Mouflon 200hp - 35ua/str/agi
Badger 250hp - 40ua/str/agi
Boar 350hp - 50ua/str/agi (you can outrun)
Deer, Aurochs, Wild horse 350hp - 60ua/str/agi (almost all equivalent)
Lynx 400?hp - 65 ua/str/agi
Moose 500hp - 75ua/str/agi
Bear 800hp - 100ua/str/agi
Mammoth ???hp - 150+ua/str/agi

You simply want as much con as possible.

This is probably a safe guideline for hunting.
I prefer ua + chop, you can use mc + sword instead.

If you want to hunt traditionally, you'll want at least an armor class of 15/20 by the time you hunt boar. Probably 30/40 armor class by moose.

Hunting traditionally is a major pain in the ass without a horse because every animal except boar can outrun you.

Hp is a rough estimate.

As i observe, not all animals have same agility as their ua level.
For example, boar have about 10 agi, when dear have more than 100.
Dont know methods how to check it, but it can easilly check with cooldowns.

Trolls will kill you regardless of stats.
If you can onehit them you might have chance though, they might not have time to drop a shitton of rock on you.
