You will always get meat if you place a 1 or 2 star boar in your pen. I had a smal pen with room for only 5 boars. Kept killing them off so that there was only 2 in there (less to feed) guaranteed meat from 1 star pigs....i couldn't find any 2 star ones
As said above, you need to find a higher level boar to get more meat from them! That's when it gets worth the food you put in them. Breeding a level 1 boar with a normal boar will give you a chance for a level 1 piglet. Two level 1 boars will 100% breed a new level 1 boar. Level 1 gives 100% chance of 2 meat and leather scraps, Level 2 gives 100% chance of 4 meat and 4 leather scraps. You can craft a Abyssmal Harpoon to leash mobs, like boars into your pen, good for when you find a higher level boar far away. The harpoon does a small amount of damage though and will break if you try to drag them through impossible paths. You unlock it from mining chitin off Leviathans in the Ocean biome.
I still have many questions. Can you endlessly re-use a 1-star boar for mating? Do they eventually die or stop reproducing? After they reproduce do I have to kill the adults and tame two more? If I do have to kill them and tame more, can I have a half a dozen in one pen and reproduce 2:1 every time? Does the pen size matter or number of boars in a pen? Do you get more meat if you have two 1-star boars? Really, I'm just wondering if this is a process that has to be repeated or if the original tamed boars can reproduce indefinitely.
@@Seldomane You can use them endlessly. They don't die unless you stop feeding them(for weeks maybe), but they need food to make offsprings. Pen size matter. The bigger the more boars you can have. Yes. 0 star = 50% chance of 1 meat. 1 star = 100% chance of 2 meat. 2 star = 100% chance of 4 meat. So it really isn't worth having 0 star boars, unless it's for esthetics or you have plenty of crops to feed them. I recommend feeding them carrots (flower seeds found in black forest and used with the 'cultivator' in bronze age), since it's easy to farm. Berries and mushrooms are harder to get and is needed for cooking.
All boars can breed with each other. There is no inbreeding. So you can start with ONE 1 star boar and ONE 0 star boar. Keep feeding them, throw a stack of food in the pen. Eventually you will get a 1 star offspring. (If you find two 1 star, or even 2 star, you can of course breed with them instead). Kill every piggy with no star and when you get the 1 star piggy, kill the adult with no stars. When your 1 star piggy grows up they will start to breed 1 star offsprings.
Here's a tip. Make sure you tame boars with a star or two stars. You're more likely to get drops as these are higher level and when they breed all the piggys will be high level as well. Selective breeding ftw.
@@combs3445 Same though I had an extro that adopted me long ago, didn't work very well , well pretty ok for 2 years but yeah :c it was too much extro stuff.
in case you weren't aware. you can tame and breed wolves. and if you pet them the adults will follow you. I've roamed the mountains with 6 wolves and it's been amazing lol
One thing you didn't mention is that the kind of pigglet depends on his parents. If you have captured and taimed a 2-star pig you'll always get 2-star pigglets and so forth. It is advisable to scout for the pig-type first before capturing it, as the return of a 2-star pet is much higher than for a non-star or 1-star boar. If you captured a non-star and a two-star boar, there might be a chance that either the one or the other appear but as soon as you have two 2-star boars taimed, get rid of the others as the return on investment is not worth keeping them arround further
I casually mentioned i should use kicking more (theres about 7 of us who have been playing together for about 20hours aswell) and they all let out a collective "wait you can kick?" When i mentioned it. Lol
trap the boars in a big pen with raspberry bushes.. unlimited foomd. walkaway forever come back and its done. i tames a herd of 5 boars this way at once
Wow I swear when I started watching I thought it was my base. Top of an open field, spiked wall around it, cultivated... Anyway, I've ignored taming until now :) Firespark81 your is very helpful, thank you. I love how you just nudge them from one pen to another after taming! For the boar pen, I found it easy to just make a pen with cheap border fence, then put a wooden gate somewhere on it. Let the boar follow you thru the gate, then turn around and close it on your way out. Easy and no building-while-moving. The boars tend to attack the fence, not the gate. I wondered about how much to feed them, you answered that beautifully showing various foods giving 8-13%, so a stack of say 8-10 of anything should get them to max or near max tamed over time. Carrots seem to be the best. I've learned you can sneak, drop food in and sneak away without upsetting them. Cultivation: Farming is pretty self explanatory, cultivate an area near or around base, plant a few feet away from anything... I figure mathematically starting out you want to keep replanting for seeds as much as possible. Once you have a few dozen then every 3 carrots/turnips you plant three seeds, harvest two for food and plant the third for more seeds and repeat indefinitely. I tried making a a really secure base planting trees in a wall fashion around but its pretty useless, and I think it actually creates spawn points for greydwarfs. greydwarves. Whatever! Best off making a wall of spikes like the video shows.
ik video is old but just got into the game and im so freaking hooked....also love your conan exile guides they made a world of diff to my gameplay over the years
for farming i just hit C for slow walking speed and rythmicly drop seeds as i walk bacwards. and they absolutely can even be placed a bit closer together than the perfect lil square flooring, but thats not a bad idea for the perfectionists out there.
Do different food still result in drastically different taming percents? [Did this change in the week this video was up?] They seem to get a better tameness by just feeding them any of the berries/the mushroom/ carrots you have on hand and just idling out of sight by them. They eventually calm down and the more they chill the more they acclimate [which results in taming] a friend and I did this, the boar ate a bunch while we were away, and the tame percent didn't go up, but even if they just ate one or two mushrooms or raspberries, if we crouched by them they eventually calmed down, and the longer we were there, the more their tame went up without feeding them more.
"if you feed them, they'll have pink hearts and they'll squeal and a baby pops out. Let's see if I can get them to do them on camera." The kind of content David Attenborough can only aspire to.
Just got bronze today, all I can say it’s very expensive for items hah. The taming confused me exactly but with the farming, it all makes sense now clearly from this guide. So thanks again man, roughly on exact section you guides coming out it’s perfect! Also Birch gives Fine Wood if not known.
carrot seeds work differently now: you plant them for 1 seed, and can re-plant them for 1 carrot, 1-1 conversion. sounds not helpful right? well, keep them planted, and they flower! I just watched it happen prior to typing this, so can definitely confirm
Once you have 2 boar tamed, open your pen up and once they breed.. split them into 2 boar quantities and split the cage. Then you can have double the boars. Also, tame 1 2star boar and whatever else..once they make a 2 star boar, kill all non star boars.
Press 'e', animal follows you. You can make it stay also. Only 2 actions u can do. Also i only breeded wolves yet. The cub can't be controled. Also once u succeded leading them down from mountain to get on the boat, which they do. They will eventually jump out when you'll get away from land.
You CAN'T make them follow you. You need to make a road they can't get out from and then come after them with a torch. It's really not convinient at the moment.
@@alaregrets tamed boar can't follow you i guess. Wolves do tho. I found a way to pull a full pack of boars. I use harpoon on 1 and then run to aggro others. They all followed me over long distances to my fence where i tamed and breed em. I want to try with deers, keep you informed 😊
Ty... I was trying to use the gate door and they refuse to go near it they run from it like its the plague...there needs to be a pen door. And itd be awesome if the fences snapped to each other.
I’m relatively new to Valheim (started with Mistlands update), but it sounds like farming boars became more worth the resources after the Hearth and Home update, which differentiated boar meat and deer meat. I’m currently in mid-game so my best health food is sausages and my best stamina food is turnip stew, both of which require boar meat. So while I have more deer meat than I’ll ever use, my boar meat consistently runs low. Currently feeding them carrots because I have a steady supply from the farm, while I have to forage for mushrooms and berries. Not currently feeding them turnips since turnips and boar are already used for the turnip stew, but that might change when I get a steady supply onion and I start relying more on onion soup (just planted my first onion seeds).
Awesome video. I remember you from the Conan Exiles days. You must feel ultra refreshed that this awesome game popped out of nowhere. Keep it up ! Liked + subbed.
Hopefully in the future they update the game to have a "follow" function for tamed animals or a laso/leash. Thanks for this video, really helps me out.
"They do breed, they do make babies. I'm gonna see if we can get them to do it here on camera" ... Wait a minute, did this just turn into a nature documentary?
I managed to create the "boar spawn box" on a high hillside and then dug out a 10 Meter cliff beneath it for the drop. Getting the boars into the cliffside box was a tad tricky, but using fencing to block them from going backwards and control which way they could go and then using food to lure them in the direction I wanted them to go, I eventually got two boars into it, though pushing the 2nd boar into place did prove a bit tricky. So far, it is working perfectly: the piglets either fall or slide down the cliff into the fenced space below. Would using the harpoon have been easier/more efficient, if I'd had it? Sure, but I'm in the early game and don't have it, so used a cliff side and food lures instead of a ramp and harpoon, at least proving that creating a boar 'factory' like this is possible even in the early game without having the harpoon handy. So, I managed it without need of the ramp. The boar spawn box design you provided is gold, though. FYI.
i was able to get the boars around 30% tameness per mushroom. But i just tamed one out in the open, i never startled it. I think the best way to do this is build a large fence around a known boar spawn and leave mushrooms in there.
Rasberries and blue berries they will breed as long as the berries are in stacks more than 10 or more. They just need a full stomach/happy for a timed duration. I only feed my boars the berries and they went from 2 to 30! Had to cull them back down to 2.
There are lots of things I hope we will be able to farm later on. Raspberries, Blueberries, Cotton, Potatoes, Mushrooms and Kale/Lettuce. I also hope there will be more animals we can tame for our farm. Cows (leather, meat and milk) Chickens (feathers, meat and eggs) Sheep (wool and meat) And lastly I hope we will be able to build more furniture and building pieces. Chairs, tables, wall cloth, banners, long chests, weapon rack, Stone fire pit, water well, triangle flags, shields for wall, totems, proper window walls, ladders and spike walls (sharpened wooden sticks in cross formation)
TIP: Farming (planting) carrots or turnips: just look downwards in 45degree angle, run forward and spam mouse1. It will plant them far enough from each other, and close enough to be effective use of space. Collecting grown plants: hold down "use" key (default E) and move forward keeping caret on plants.
Big tip, do not have fire near the boars in the pens. My boars wouldn't chill out and I found it was the torches by the pens.. at least I think it was, as soon as I knocked out the torches they ate and harted.
@Firespark81 I figured out if you roll a log into a tree ,that is to hard to chop down, it will eventually break the harder tree for you. That is how I got my Fine Wood for the good bow.
i will say that something i found very usefull is that planting etc carrots i can just hold a or s and spam click and it never plants them to close to eachother
Upgrading cultivator should also add and harvest more seed/plants with one click just adding more durability seems kinda useless if you are farming next to workbench. When feeding pigs would be really nice to have some kind of feeding tray that you could fill more easier same way you fill smelter instead just tossing them on ground.
Great video. Thanks man! I was wondering, when feeding the pigs... can you throw a whole stack of items on the ground or do you need to drop them one at a time?
Agreed lol, at first I was being so particular but now ive adjusted to just going quick. Just prepare more soil if you need more room repairing the tool is free :P
@@ZeymethWoW I've found that if you walk backwards while you plant it is easier to make rows. Also when harvesting I skip every other row and then replant between the unharvested rows; This also helps in making straight lines.
you could just use the half beam blocks and plant them adjacent to where the beam ends, and once you've got all the outer crops planted, it's simply a case of keeping them aligned, just saves you building a floor everytime you want to farm.
I found that if you have a massive pen when you start with two for breeding then they won't breed because they graze away from each other. The scale of the pen goes the other way too I guess.
From what I've seen they do damage the fences, the fences are pretty strong though, so it isn't really a problem. You don't need any grass to breed them.
Turnips are best for taming. Tested on level 1 boars, and a turnip gave 16%. Though strangely has given 30% on a level 3 boar... a second took the level 1 to 50%, and a third to 83%, and a second took the level 3 to 63%. So level 1 - +13%, + 37%, +33%. Level 3 - +30%, +33%. The percentage varies wildly it seems.
In my opinion its not really worth the trouble, you gotta keep them happy with feeding them berries or carrots just for some meat and leather. You will find boars all over the place and just hunt them down and you wont need to waste your own ressources on them, because with berries you could make queen jam for instance, which is much more worth than some meat. Btw you can tame later on some wolves which i highly recommend, cause they hit like a truck. :)
Just something to remember. I had 3 tame boars. I had them separated into two pens, I opened up the pens to make 1 large pen and all 3 of the boars untamed themselves. So keep in mind you need to make your pen large enough and you need to capture two boars at a time.
So far my boars have been living on a diet of rasberries and they still have the stamina to reproduce. Also it seems to me like you have to be around them (Not directly, just the general area) for them to acclimatize. I have two bases and when I left one group at the other base for a couple of days the percentage didn't seem to change.
A couple more things about gardening. It is possible for a sapling’s growth to be hindered by nearby trees. If their leaves cover the space above the sapling, the sapling will start to die and have the message “needs open sky to grow”. It is also possible to plant trees on land that has not been cultivated. Also, remember to build walls or fences around your plots. I have lost several plants thinking it’s a glitch, but I’ve heard reports of boars destroying crops.
Dunno about 3 star boars - never seen one, but mating 1star boar with plain one have a chance to give 1 star offspring. And 1 star boars should always give you 1 star piglets.
hey could you make a follow up vid on this. ive done some testing with trees and found that 1.5 large floor pieces or 6 planks are the distance you can place trees in porximity to eachother. there also seems to be a height variable that can stop them from growing. so two large wall panels high would stop them growing. however take away the lower panel and they can grow again
@FireSpark81 I unlocked Bronze but no cultivator. It only unlocked when I collected my first core wood. So need both elements to unlock. You probably already had the opposite, core wood before you unlocked Bronze
idk why, i have 3 of them in a pin, right next to my house and theirs a TON of mushrooms and berries in them, and they dont stfu , been like 10 days... why?

Does the pen size matter or number of boars in a pen?
Do you get more meat if you have two 1-star boars?
Really, I'm just wondering if this is a process that has to be repeated or if the original tamed boars can reproduce indefinitely.
@@Seldomane You can use them endlessly. They don't die unless you stop feeding them(for weeks maybe), but they need food to make offsprings.

i was able to get the boars around 30% tameness per mushroom. But i just tamed one out in the open, i never startled it. I think the best way to do this is build a large fence around a known boar spawn and leave mushrooms in there.
Rasberries and blue berries they will breed as long as the berries are in stacks more than 10 or more. They just need a full stomach/happy for a timed duration. I only feed my boars the berries and they went from 2 to 30! Had to cull them back down to 2.
If you can get a one (or more) star boar in the breeding program it ups you ROI.
PLEASE TURN DOWN THE 18K RANGE ON YOUR EQ ON YOUR MIC. ALSO THANKS FOR THE VIDS!
Theres a butcher knife that I bet if you kill them with will get meat everytime. Havent tried yet myself so lmk.
There are lots of things I hope we will be able to farm later on.
Raspberries, Blueberries, Cotton, Potatoes, Mushrooms and Kale/Lettuce.
I also hope there will be more animals we can tame for our farm.
Cows (leather, meat and milk)
Chickens (feathers, meat and eggs)
Sheep (wool and meat)
And lastly I hope we will be able to build more furniture and building pieces.
Chairs, tables, wall cloth, banners, long chests, weapon rack, Stone fire pit, water well, triangle flags, shields for wall, totems, proper window walls, ladders and spike walls (sharpened wooden sticks in cross formation)
The first update is gonna be called "Hearth and Home" so I imagine more stuff to make homes more cozy
I'm pretty sure you can already hang shields to walls?
im willing to bet cows chicken or sheep would only be found in the plains
TIP: Farming (planting) carrots or turnips: just look downwards in 45degree angle, run forward and spam mouse1. It will plant them far enough from each other, and close enough to be effective use of space.
Collecting grown plants: hold down "use" key (default E) and move forward keeping caret on plants.
This was so helpful, been driving me crazy figuring out how.
I like the heart shaped patch of grass in the boar breeding pen.
2:56 That's exactly what i did,now i'm happily single!
Big tip, do not have fire near the boars in the pens. My boars wouldn't chill out and I found it was the torches by the pens.. at least I think it was, as soon as I knocked out the torches they ate and harted.
Yes I think this is correct. I placed some standing torches around my pen and the pigs got crazy lmao.
6:45 for the boar stuff
Farming: instead of running, press C and walk ... when your icon lights up then left click and plant, rinse/repeat; works well. Same with harvesting.
if you capture and tame a 1 star it can breed 1 star boars even with regular boars. havent tested 1 star and 1 star yet, im hoping you can breed up
can only do same star or below if it's with something below. Doesn't go up.
@@VBloodFetishV fancy seeing you here V 😂💖
@@demonic123payne Lol xD
@Firespark81 I figured out if you roll a log into a tree ,that is to hard to chop down, it will eventually break the harder tree for you. That is how I got my Fine Wood for the good bow.
If you breed 1 star boars they drop more stuff and breed 1 star piglets
If you breed 2 star boars they drop even more stuff and breed 2 star piglets.
@@eagle25311 if you breed 3 star boars they drop more stuff and breed 3 star piglets!
I stab all piglets
piglet?
Your videos are awesome. The ultimate explications with extra information and dedication. Don't bother about the complaints. Keep it up! Thanks.
i will say that something i found very usefull is that planting etc carrots i can just hold a or s and spam click and it never plants them to close to eachother
I've been playing for like a 120 hours and didn't know farming was even a thing
Lol
If you breed two 2 star boars together do they have 2 star babies? That might be worth it
Yes
Upgrading cultivator should also add and harvest more seed/plants with one click just adding more durability seems kinda useless if you are farming next to workbench.
When feeding pigs would be really nice to have some kind of feeding tray that you could fill more easier same way you fill smelter instead just tossing them on ground.
Great video. Thanks man!
I was wondering, when feeding the pigs... can you throw a whole stack of items on the ground or do you need to drop them one at a time?
You can throw a whole bunch. They will only eat what they need and not the whole stack. Keep a bench there so the items won't disappear.
@@Bo-tv Cool, thanks for letting me know.
You're welcome.
For farming just eye it. By the time youve got your crops lined up, i'm harvesting mine.
Agreed lol, at first I was being so particular but now ive adjusted to just going quick. Just prepare more soil if you need more room repairing the tool is free :P
@@ZeymethWoW I've found that if you walk backwards while you plant it is easier to make rows. Also when harvesting I skip every other row and then replant between the unharvested rows; This also helps in making straight lines.
do you have a video explaining your specs and how you set up the game in order to have good fps and nice graphics? it'd be good to know!
put your video settings to low, medium could be good enough if you have an ok pc
you could just use the half beam blocks and plant them adjacent to where the beam ends, and once you've got all the outer crops planted, it's simply a case of keeping them aligned, just saves you building a floor everytime you want to farm.
"if you need to get rid of something, just kick it."
Words to live by
Sadly you can’t kick political corruption.
@@LeTtRrZ but you can kick corrupted politics
I found that if you have a massive pen when you start with two for breeding then they won't breed because they graze away from each other. The scale of the pen goes the other way too I guess.
Do the fences break overtime? Especially if boars hits them? Also do you need grass inside the pen?
From what I've seen they do damage the fences, the fences are pretty strong though, so it isn't really a problem. You don't need any grass to breed them.
@@dracula2599 thank you
I got around 30% with raspberries, but you need to be close to a boar.
11:25 I tested and can confirm that the pigs do indeed breed even when fed raspberries only.
Same, I've just been feeding them raspberries and mushrooms and they've bred a few times already.
Turnips are best for taming. Tested on level 1 boars, and a turnip gave 16%. Though strangely has given 30% on a level 3 boar... a second took the level 1 to 50%, and a third to 83%, and a second took the level 3 to 63%. So level 1 - +13%, + 37%, +33%. Level 3 - +30%, +33%.
The percentage varies wildly it seems.
Is boar taming a good use of resources? Also can you eat raw carrots?
In my opinion its not really worth the trouble, you gotta keep them happy with feeding them berries or carrots just for some meat and leather. You will find boars all over the place and just hunt them down and you wont need to waste your own ressources on them, because with berries you could make queen jam for instance, which is much more worth than some meat. Btw you can tame later on some wolves which i highly recommend, cause they hit like a truck. :)
good video mate!
the first few minutes are only relevant if you are a city kid! haha
You could also funnel them in with fences and a torch if you need to cover alot of distance.
Just something to remember. I had 3 tame boars. I had them separated into two pens, I opened up the pens to make 1 large pen and all 3 of the boars untamed themselves. So keep in mind you need to make your pen large enough and you need to capture two boars at a time.
And once they are tame leave the pen alone.
THANK YOU!!! I was going mad trying to get boars into my pen. 1 would run in and 1 would always run out and run away. Was so frustrating XD
So far my boars have been living on a diet of rasberries and they still have the stamina to reproduce. Also it seems to me like you have to be around them (Not directly, just the general area) for them to acclimatize. I have two bases and when I left one group at the other base for a couple of days the percentage didn't seem to change.
do you need to still give them food after you tame your pigs?...I dont have mushrooms near my base....or they don eat?
@@GregorioRicouz only if you want them to mate. They don't starve afaik
A couple more things about gardening. It is possible for a sapling’s growth to be hindered by nearby trees. If their leaves cover the space above the sapling, the sapling will start to die and have the message “needs open sky to grow”. It is also possible to plant trees on land that has not been cultivated. Also, remember to build walls or fences around your plots. I have lost several plants thinking it’s a glitch, but I’ve heard reports of boars destroying crops.
sweet thanks
If you capture a 2 or 3 star boar do they make higher quality babies?
That's a really question. I'm definitely trying that
Dunno about 3 star boars - never seen one, but mating 1star boar with plain one have a chance to give 1 star offspring. And 1 star boars should always give you 1 star piglets.
“They DO make babies, let me show you how it is on camera”
Can you tame deer?
2:55 Great life advice right there! :D
you need 1 star or 2 star boars to get the real meat
hey could you make a follow up vid on this. ive done some testing with trees and found that 1.5 large floor pieces or 6 planks are the distance you can place trees in porximity to eachother. there also seems to be a height variable that can stop them from growing. so two large wall panels high would stop them growing. however take away the lower panel and they can grow again
@FireSpark81 I unlocked Bronze but no cultivator. It only unlocked when I collected my first core wood. So need both elements to unlock. You probably already had the opposite, core wood before you unlocked Bronze
This was sooo helpful, thank you!
U can tame OXes and wolves too...later in game ...and my advice is , only tame 2stars
Just got a 100 carrots, now I know what to do with them.
You can use them in carrot stew in the cauldron as well. very high stamina food.
"I'll just throw them these carrots and see if they DO it" lmao
Good video! Thanks for the instruction! I also did not have luck with yellow mushrooms D:
Can you plant carrot inside the pen? Are they going to eat it?
Anyone know if there is going to be a horse or something to ride introduced into the game or is it all on foot or by boat only ?
Who knows
I bet they will. This game is getting a lot of buzz.
idk why, i have 3 of them in a pin, right next to my house and theirs a TON of mushrooms and berries in them, and they dont stfu , been like 10 days... why?
solution, Bonfire covers a huge area, boars do not like it, even from the other side of my base.
This game came out of leftfield, but I'm glad you're covering this game Firespark! Joined your channel for Connan, but I've played it out. I feel like ill be on this game for a while.
No it didn't. It was announced at Pc Game Show about 8 months ago. People knew about it. Just the bandwagon people obviously didn't
can you tame deer?
No, at least not yet. Although it doesn't seem likely
