Starting Vagabond is the real Main Character

[Onikage]

Seriously, maybe because I start over with every patch but I swear the Vagabond you get when you build the first Bonfire is consistently one of the best tribesmen you can get for the early part of the game.
They usually have two positive traits and only one negative, if any, and their growth is usually gaining more positive traits and losing the negative one they have.

If you're a new player, unlock and build the bonfire ASAP and unlock Control for the mask. Then respawn into the Vagabond and have a great time while you build an epic tribe.

Also has anyone noticed (and I'm sure this is intentional) that the Outcasts at the starting zone are all trash? Like, I've seen some that are 6 negative traits with no positives. Usually it's a 2-1 ratio of negative traits to positive ones and the positive ones are almost always meh

There are lots of better tribesmen in the barracks and fortresses compared to the starting vagabond. The starting vagabond is only good for early game. Also, tribesmen lose negative traits and gain more positive traits as they level up.

I suggest you don't skim-read or make assumptions about other's knowledge
"consistently one of the best tribesmen you can get for the early part of the game"
and your point was "vagabond is only good for early game"
Also I didn't say they were the only ones who lose negative traits when leveling, all do that obviously yes. My point was they are MORE LIKELY to lose negative traits when leveling and not gain new negative traits. Or did you not know you can get negative traits sometimes when you level?
Again, read slower and don't make the same points as the OP while thinking you're saying something more knowledgeable

I don't know why someone put a jester on this, but OP is right though; the original post did mention early game, and the quoted comment did seem like he missed the point.

Back on topic - I lost my Vagabond tribesman really early, and I thought nothing of it since I was thinking I can get better ones. Well, I DID get better ones eventually, but there's no other Vagabonds I can find anywhere (it was all Barbarian, X Tribe Barbarian, Invader, etc.).

No more Vagabonds. It was one of a kind.

I'll chime in; grab that vagabond quickly as I hesitated (my bad) and watched mine run away.

Vagabond gains no traits other than the 2 it comes with. Sooner or later you realize Vagabond is a disappointment and becomes quite useless and a waste of time trying to grow, especially as you watch all your other tribesmen grow and supersede.

Not an issue missing out on it.

Unless they've changed something with the last 2 patches this month, Vagabond absolutely gains new traits, sounds like you had rough RNG. In my last game before this week's patch mine had 2 good and 1 negative trait. The negative trait dropped off at level 25 and then I got another positive trait at level 30 which was the 30hp heal 25% chance dealing damage.

Now I will say, the RNG of the game with traits from leveling is kinda stupid. You should get Advantage/Disadvantage traits as you level based on what you do with the character.
For example, I was purely using the Spear on a Tribesman and had the skill above 90 but then the next trait I got was for Bows...

Early game shouldn't be so important, you may often change tribesmen to get a specific high proficiency so negative perks aren't a big deal. Still this vagabond is a life changer in the beginning that's a fact.

Just wanted to confirm, on my new save my Vagabond started with 2 Positive and 1 Negative Traits. At level 30 they got a 3rd Positive Trait

[Sir Fartalot]

u can copy a good tribesman to ur starting char , so the starting char can be as good as everyone else ....

[Bonedog]

I never even got the chance to get the vagabond because I had already deterred an outcast before I built the first bonfire. Game said "well, guess you don't need this..." and none ever showed up lol.
