Boar jerky

Boar Jerky is a Black Forest-tier food that increases your health by 23, stamina by 23, and health regeneration by 2 hp/tick for 30 minutes. You produce 2 Boar Jerky by combining Boar Meat and Honey in a basic Cauldron.

Acquisition

• You will need a chunk of Boar Meat, some Honey and a level 1 Cauldron to cook Boar Jerky
• You’ll get access to both Boar Meat and Honey in the Meadows and will only need to venture into the Black Forest for the Tin to make your Cauldron

Here’s how to obtain the required ingredients:

• Boar Meat is dropped by the boars running around the Meadows biome
• Honey is produced by bees after you put a Queen Bee into a beehive

Boar Jerky is a Black Forest food that only uses ingredients found in the Meadows. Boars will be some of the first creatures you see when starting the game. They’re aggressive, but pretty harmless. When slain, they drop Boar Meat. If hunting boars after you’re done with the Meadows doesn’t appeal to you, you can also tame some boars and start raising them at your base.

In order to get your hands on some Honey, you’ll need to find a Queen Bee, then put her into a Beehive. After that, all you’ll need to do is periodically pick up the Honey, as a single Beehive can hold up to 4 units of Honey at a time.

You will then need a Cauldron (Tin x10), and for that you’ll have to beat the Meadows boss and explore the Black Forest. Once you have a Cauldron set up over a fire, simply combine Boar Meat with Honey, and you’ll get 2 pieces of Boar Jerky.

Food

Eating some Boar Jerky increases your health by 23, stamina by 23, and health regeneration by 2 hp/tick for 30 minutes. You can combine these effects with up to two other food types, but can’t eat more than one piece of Boar Jerky at once.

Initially, the buff provided by eating Boar Jerky will grant its listed effects, but will fade over time. When there’s just 50% left in its duration, or 15 minutes, the buff icon will begin flashing, and you’ll be able to eat another Boar Jerky to refresh its effects.

Helpful Tips

• You get 2 pieces of Boar Jerky every time you cook it, making it very resource-efficient
• Since Boar Jerky weighs half of what most other foods do, and you can stack it twice as much, it become a great food to take with you on extended journeys
• Boar Jerky provides a balanced boost of health and stamina, allowing you to run a well-rounded character
