These go for Maxwell too, but he's not easily usable until they fix the bug where Magic Flower eats 30 max hp on reloads. (Technically I think you can dig up and replant the flower each time you reload, though) Wickerbottom's books aren't very useful in Hamlet after all, after I did a whole world as her... good start, but free science machine is a non-perk after several days in. Between the pig farms and pig shops you can get tons of berry bushes, manure, farm foods very easily so growth book isn't necessary, and she can't make tentacle book right now. but you can bring tentacle spots from shipwrecked or RoG and make a tentacle farm/trap anyone tried to use tentacles as bat defense? Wolfgang: while mighty, you can kill bats in 1 hit with darksword or cutlass supreme can kill stuff faster, is very useful hunger drains faster, which probably is a big problem buring early game sanity drains faster near monsters and during dusk/night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise killing Pig guards who defend Farms/Berry Bushes won't be a problem for him (4? Oincs per Berries + Fillers), a Walking Stick can negate the speed penalty of his wimpy form, Mants & Snaptooths might be a nice food source early (Once again 4? Oincs per Honey).

I'd like to make a tentacle field (my 12 watchtowers work, but it's messy), but I'm not entirely sure how worldhopping functions. I need to make a new skyworthy after I go to RoG world, right...? How's that work? >.> The main concerns are that there's a bit of a delay in their attack, and difficulty in collecting dropped pigskin, but with a stalking cane it's probably doable and since there's so many bats the emerged tentacles would probably just hit the next one.

Between the pig farms and pig shops you can get tons of berry bushes, manure, farm foods very easily so growth book isn't necessary, and she can't make tentacle book right now. There's not good sleep targets IMO, unlike RoG giants/mactusks. I second this. Birds of the World isn't too useful alone due to the lack of Silk for boomerangs and birdtraps, so until you've got STS or End is Nigh it doesn't do much. Applied Horticulture's the only one with much utility, allowing you to amass farmable items and gain lots of Oincs with your spare berries, rope and boards. Although as aforementioned you can also farm said items from pig farms and shops, Applied Hort allows you to do the same quicker at the expense of sanity. Sleepytime Stories, as aforementioned, has situational utility due to the lack of targets to sleep. Maybe as an emergency getaway tool for Bat waves. On Tentacles... well, there aren't any sources to get Tentacle Spots, so you still have to go worldhopping for it. Might be useful due to aforementioned strategies (Bat deterrent, for example). End is Nigh... It's never really been useful in DS Alone. And it still isn't in hamlet. Lightning's effect is mostly just situational. Those early, large amounts of Oincs and gold nuggets you'll be getting with an early Ball Pein Hammer is still a plus, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ0264 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Wilbur stats: 175 hunger, 150 sanity, 125 health [1x walking hunger 1.33x running hunger] + Poops every 2-3 days and can throw Poop (good for fertilizing and early tier 1 magic) + can run 2x faster after 3 secs (can run though living vines without dmg) * 10 sanity per banana - can't talk - walks 50% slower, when kitting it translate to -1 swipe (slower collecting at the start and pig guard are harder to kill) > spider-monkeys aren't friends Woodlegs stats: 150 hunger, 120 sanity, 150 health + lucky hat gives random treasures ranging from op magic/ruin items to useless dubloons * starts with 4 boards and a spyglass (spyglass can explore most of the 1st island on day 1) * 1 nightmare fuel for 6 oincs and easy bone bits for water clothing and poop buckets - sanity drop 4.8 per/min on land, roughly -60 points of sanity PER DAY > no sealegs and can't craft lucky hat in hamlet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreyaMaluk Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I don't like OP's tier classification.. tbh there is no clear distinction of what makes a character be in given category... WX "okay"? really? WX is OP in hamlet. BTW, gears are ez to get... just fast superfast to second island... as wx you can easily get there by day 2 xD Warbucks "neutral"? dude.. Warbucks sanity is like his main advantage... he has 0 sanity issues which is a big thing in Hamlet.

Food is not as abundant in as in vanilla or dst and it can be a struggle to get mighty when u really need it specially since you don't have bundling wraps to keep emergency food fresh.. (i hope the devs introduce that in single player with the QoL update) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeNniX Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Just played Warly. He is really good, much better in Hamlet than in Shipwrecked. Backpack at the beginning allows collecting extra resources, also acts as free fridge. Food prepared in crock pot regain 33% more stats meaning you heal fast and sanity is also easier to restore. He should eat only crock pot dishes but it's easily manageable with portable crock pot and food shops. Also he gets hungry 33% faster but crock pot also restores 33% more hunger so it's not really that much downside. With larger hunger pool he can survive without eating for 2.5 days.

GetNerfedOn Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Now they've fixed Werebeaver being unable to use doors, so that's a plus, I guess...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
