Tips

• The earliest one can build a Meat Effigy is on day 11. Shave as soon as possible for 1 hair, and shave the Long Beard for the other 3. This is not the most efficient way, but it is the quickest (outside of lowering to hunt Beardlings).
• As the Beard doesn't grow longer after 16 days and the player loses it on resurrection or by changing characters, it is most efficient to shave after every sixteenth day, unless Winter is coming.
• In terms of gaining Sanity, shaving every 5 days will yield the best results.
• Wilson's Beard will take exactly 15 days to grow to its full length (full length at the beginning of day 16). Since Winter starts on day 21 on default settings, the player can easily survive the cold with just a full Beard and a Thermal Stone. The Beard, unlike clothing, does not have durability and will provide insulation so long as he does not shave.
  • Wilson can still shave the Beard after four days (for one Beard Hair) and still have a full Beard by winter. It is also possible to shave after reaching a long Beard length (8 days), as while Wilson will not start winter with a full Beard, the first few days are more mild and will allow for time to grow.
  • It is advised to shave at the beginning of Summer Season due to the Beard slower the rate at which Wilson cooling.
• Wilson with Transmute Gems III skill can activate the Ancient Archive really quickly by defeating the Dragonfly early.
• If any Meats or Morsels are near spoiling, Wilson can transmute it with his Transmute Icky I skill to refresh it back to another form and vice versa.
• Meat-related items that are stored in Wilson's Beard with the Beard Hair Storage skill prevents Bunnymen from detecting them.
• Wilson's Transmute Icky III skill can help provide Bone Shards for Warly's Bone Bouillon dish or Wanda's Second Chance Watch. Said skill can be used to make Rain protection gear like the Rain Hat, Eyebrella or Rain Coat without needing to break any skeletons. Moreover, Wilson can transmute Hound's Tooth from its skill for the Howlitzer ammo slot.
• Wilson's Lunar Innovator skill when paired with Wickerbottom can transmute all the Infused Moon Shards that had been harvested to get loads of Pure Brilliance.
