cptCalavera Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) A beard is a beautiful thing in all worlds (both gaming and real life). It should be encouraged and cared for. In Don't Starve the hair from Wilson's beard is used for making a Meat Effigy wich on one occasion can save Wilson's life upon death. To get the beard hair you need to shave with a razor. And this is how much hair you get when shaving. In the beginning: No beard - Can't shaveAfter four nights: Short beard - One beard hair when shavingAfter eight nights: Rough beard - Three beard hair when shavingAfter sixteen nights: Epic beard - Nine beard hair when shaving Currently the beard can not get any longer than epic, and can not give more than nine beard hairs. Also, the longer beard you have, the longer it takes to shave it off. In conclusion, you need four beard hair to make the effigy. So the fastest way to get it is to shave after eights nights and then again after four nights. For a total of twelve nights, instead of sixteen nights if you would wait for the epic beard. However, if you choose to wait, you will have enough beard hair to make two effigys. (As a side note, don't shave. The longer you have had your epic beard, the higher rank you will have amongst you'r bearded friends.) Edited October 13, 2014 by cptCalavera Edited days to nights, due to the end of night beeing the trigger for beard growth. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Fu Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 They should just call the game Don't shave. And nice article, I can fell the pain of having to do that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptCalavera Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Hah, that can be the name of the sequal :POh, I also realised I miscalculated. Since the end of night is the trigger for beard growth, and day one really dont have a night preceding it. I was off by one day per growth period in my calculations. So I edited in the new numbers. (nights instead of days) And mathematicaly it was for the best, you get four beard hair in twelve nights, not fourteen days as I first stated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadoweangel Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 A thought occurs... It'd be nice to be able to keep your beard trimmed to a certain length rather than forced to just shave it all off. I personally like the second to the last beard length.

cptCalavera Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Ooh yes, excellent idea! I demand the possibility to craft a trimmer (Or beard scissors) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyousterror Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Wow beards can grow longer than 3? I think now i need to grow an epic beard as an achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvador Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 *brushes and then braids said beard putting pink bows in it.*There we are!It should be added that a few bits of grass can be used to tie the ends of a combed and braided beard!

John Explosion Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 You know, beard hair provides something like 5-10 research points per piece. That's right -- Wilson's face produces science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syd Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Wilson's face produces science.He wouldn't be a proper gentleman scientist if it didn't.Also, I agree that it would be nice if his beard could be kept at a certain length. While I like the clean-shaven look, I also like the look of the first beard stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeedPants Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Talk to the beard bro. I also dislike shaving, the no beard face isnt half as cool and beard 1 and 2 are pretty awesome. The epic beard always seems too messy for my tastes. Its not cewl its more like look that hobo didnt shave for months :highly_amused:Also why is there no bearded smiley in here, the hairy ones are: and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excess Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Shaving times already varies with the length of the beard. I'm thinking that instead of dropping all the beard at the end, each individual piece of beard should be dropped immediately after it gets cut.This way you can stop mid-shave, leaving you with, for eg. a stage 2 beard and a couple of beard hair for the effigy.

Joyousterror Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 That's a great idea i think. It should slowly cut through your beard 1 shaving at a time so you can properly maintain your beard. It's just not fair to lose the entire thing.Beards are important to survival, they collect food morsels when you're eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrellBuck Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I agree with Toaster Fu, they should better call it Don't Shave. Well, it is also true that whether it is a game world or real world, maintaining a beard requires a lot of patience, beard products and beard care to grow that fuller (I have a 5 week beard and it takes a lot to maintain it). I think to acquire beard hair, shaving Wilson's hair is not the only option. One can also obtain it by killing Beardlings and Beardlords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
