11 Boars are the most common aggressive wildlife in Windrose's Coastal Jungle and Foothills biomes. They appear singly or in small groups, charge the player on sight, and drop Rough Hide (1 to 2 per kill), Boar Tusks, and Animal Fat. Boars are an essential early-game farming target because Rough Hide is the primary leather material for the Tanning Rack and Animal Fat fuels the Oil Lamp.

2424 Savage Boar Variant
2525  
2626 The Savage Boar is a tougher named variant of the standard Boar, found primarily in the Foothills. It has higher HP, deals more damage, and uses additional attack patterns including a jump-and-trample (unblockable AoE) and 4-attack combo chains. See the Savage Boar article for combat details.

2828 Lore
2929  
3030 Wild boars were genuinely common in the Caribbean during the Age of Piracy, having been introduced by Spanish explorers and quickly establishing feral populations. The Boar's role as a primary game animal in Windrose mirrors the historical reality: Caribbean buccaneers were originally cattle and pig hunters, and the word "buccaneer" itself derives from "boucan," an Arawak (Taino) word for the smoked meat preparation method used on these wild herds.

5555 Beginner's Note: Do Not Over-Invest in Starter Gear
5656  
5757 Boars drop Rough Hide, which feeds the earliest armor and upgrade path. A common beginner trap is to farm boars for hours and pour every hide into upgrading the starter set to maximum level. The community advice is the opposite: hunt enough boars to clear the first few tiers of starter gear, then move on. The gear you loot from Ancient Ruins and complete through quest rewards quickly replaces anything the Tanning Rack chain can produce, so heavy hide investment into starter pieces is wasted material once the story opens up.
5858  
5959 The exception is when a specific early recipe (like the Survivor's Set core pieces or a first weapon upgrade) has a fixed hide cost and unlocks something you actually need for the next story beat. In that case spend the hide and keep moving. Save the bulk farming for later, when better animals and merchant routes offer hide more efficiently than grinding boars one at a time.
