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.

The only way to tame anything, trap it and feed it. Exactly what my girl friend did to me.

Thanks for the boaring video. Thumbs up!

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

"They breed, they make babies, I'm going to try and get them to do it on camera." 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

Me watching after playing for 20 hours: you can kick?

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

i love how you SHOW how it is correctly done, a lot of tutorials just tell you and show nothing

I came here for taming - which starts at 6:48 :P

"The boars will eat, and then they'll squeal, and a baby will pop out" lol

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

Great vids. I hope this game blowing up sends your channel to the moon.

Thank you for the in-depth videos, really helping me with my game. Keep up the great work and hope to see more Valheim videos.

Thank you so much! Sadly I just got past the first boss, so I still have a long way to go to start farming, but this helps a ton!

You have been helping me so much in this game with your awesome guides. Subscribed!

Dude your outro was sorta epic like that fast speaking legal guy at the end of the commercials. Love it. +1

Men you´ve mastered the Art of Explaination! I like your Style,keep going :)

This was so helpful, been driving me crazy figuring out how.

Your videos are awesome. The ultimate explications with extra information and dedication. Don't bother about the complaints. Keep it up! Thanks.

This was sooo helpful, thank you!

boars do breed with berries i only feed mine berries and they have given birth to plenty healthy piglets

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.

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.

this game looks so much fun. great videos FireSpark81

tame 2 stars boars for breeding, they give much more meat and scraps

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.

Thanks for this video, Super helpfull!

Thanks for the awesome guides sparky

Ty for the guide man, it help me a lot.

Good info, what you didn't mention is that you should be taming and breeding 1 or 2 star boars so you get more meat and scraps.

thanks for making this we appreciate you

Really useful vid. Nice work

Awesome tips! Thank you for the video. :)

Great videos, keep them coming

FYI you cannot pet the baby piggies... If you try... you will drop kick that thing across the field.

Brilliant info thanks!

Thanks man! I liked and subscribed.

Good video! Thanks for the instruction! I also did not have luck with yellow mushrooms D:

very good video thanks for the info my man

Thanks, it was so useful

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.

I notice that If I feed the boar before I kill him, It always gives me meat and leather. But when they aren't happy they didn't give me meat.

Helps to sneak after feeding them to ensure they stop being scared of you. Good tips tho!

Yo love the vids. Thanks for teaching without spoiling; xD

very informative video. thank you for being yourself =)

2 star pigs make other 2 star pigs and offer more meat and leather

good video mate! the first few minutes are only relevant if you are a city kid! haha

"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.

If you breed 1 star boars they drop more stuff and breed 1 star piglets

Super helpful

IDK but it cracked me up when you said "They do make babies, I am gonna see if we can get them to do it on camera"

I like the heart shaped patch of grass in the boar breeding pen.

searches for "how to tame boar" 5 minutes in and I am being explaining how to plant tree's o.O still good video ^~^

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.

2:55 Great life advice right there! :D

Thanks for this

solid guide

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

lol i had torches placed on all corners of my pen, wondering why they are always panicked.

thanks for the guides bruv

Upvote for being the only one to actually define the safe growth distance for veggies

Thank you

you are a great speaker

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).

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.

You could also funnel them in with fences and a torch if you need to cover alot of distance.

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.

2:56 That's exactly what i did,now i'm happily single!

Thank you sir.

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.

Thanks for the info. Gonna go find out how to obtain bronze now.

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

If you can get a one (or more) star boar in the breeding program it ups you ROI.

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

@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.

Using a torch scares them (as all fire does) which allows you to move them faster.

Thanks

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.

you need 1 star or 2 star boars to get the real meat

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.

Dang see ive been killin my plants and been getting hella pissed about it but now i understand thanks man

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 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.

Theres a butcher knife that I bet if you kill them with will get meat everytime. Havent tried yet myself so lmk.

Hi followed you for a long great work as always. Really enjoyed your Valhiem series as being playing a lot my self. I feel A great video idea would be to do one on damage. The damage types matter. Such as blobs and skellys vulnerable to blunt. Would be great to hear what else takes what damage such as fire or pierce.

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.

For farming just eye it. By the time youve got your crops lined up, i'm harvesting mine.

6:45 for the boar stuff

I got around 30% with raspberries, but you need to be close to a boar.

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.

PLEASE TURN DOWN THE 18K RANGE ON YOUR EQ ON YOUR MIC. ALSO THANKS FOR THE VIDS!

U can tame OXes and wolves too...later in game ...and my advice is , only tame 2stars

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)

i liked this video

"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?

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!

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.

They do take forever to tame and take a lot of low level food. May as well wait till you can tame wolves. That way you can build an army to help you fight things.
