Fenris hair

[Bongoboy]

I ran 3 Mountain Caves so far and got like 14 Fenris hair. When you need 60 to create the set, or 135 to have one fully upgraded...

Why do those Werewolves that spawn at night not also drop that hair?...

Yeah it is RNG. For me it would be just better balanced if everyone of those Ulv in the cave drops 100% Fenrir hair, or(better) the night spawning Werewolves also have a chance to drop it. Since you need to much of it and with luck gathering 135 hair for the set plus a couple more for the claws(if you want them) is a pain.

Two caves so far: 58 Fenris Hair, 10 Fenris Claws, and 23 Red Jute.

I think I ran 4-5 caves today solo. I have a full fenris set tier 4 and flesh rippers tier 4.
Edit: The upgrades do not cost that much.

OP is probably missing breakable walls

Nope. Some Frost Caves just suck. You can get cultist doors that lead to just 1 small room with a few chairs and that's it.

Cultists and Werewolves in the Frozen Caves?
I went looking for one today, and the one I found had lots of crystals, lots of Zubats, and at the bottom of the cave, a frozen lake, two rune stones telling the story of someone who fell there and couldn't get out. I also found a fire and a fishing pole, near two stone golems.

Well i got a trip in one of my nearest big mountains ( it was almost an everest lol , previous 2 seed i didnt get a really fat and tall mountain like this one but one not so tall with 23 silver veins ) in seed generator said that there was 5 caves but only found 3 looking them for hours( blizzards dont helps ), maybe didnt rendered because was something near and not so far ( like 200m from my long far eigthyr altar )
My loot was almost 90 fenris hair , 24 claws and almost 40 red jute ,the iron sledge do wonders in these caves destroying everything , ulvs have very low hp and cultings dont do much damage if you have wolf set , maybe with root set makes you fry haha

3 Ice Caves and I've almost got a full set of the new armor and weapon, even got the Cultist trophy and a Ulv in a single cave...that was nice. 1 of the caves was the motherlode of resources, the one with both trophies. Few more hair resources and I can finish the set with the hood. I'm figuring another 3 caves or more to complete the new gear to full upgrade.

4 Ice Caves now and the set of armor is complete at Q=1 and the rippers are at Q=4....I can imagine with the 2 caves left I've mapped, that I'll be able to upgrade it fully...

Breakable walls? So unless you not use the Pickaxe to open them... I didn't see any in ~10 Caves.

@DeMasked
Can only sign this. Those Caves are as RNG as those Burial Chambers or Sunken Crypts. You can get one that nets you 40-60 Fenris hair... and then there are some where you can count the Fenris hair on two hands. Just like Juninho Dancer also mentions.

@rexpiscator
So you are lucky. I had to run 10 for the whole set and the claws. And yeah... I crafted/upgraded or tried to as far as I could with my mats on hand, after each Cave. It is RNG.

My point was, and still is btw, that the hair should be dropped more often by the Ulv and possibly by the Werewolfes that spawn at night. Maybe make it Werewolfes only spawn at a certain high to make them somewhat rarer... but the caves are for me at least already rare.
Just like

here says, I checked my seed and the web site said 5 caves... I found 2. Total unexplored island, never even went past with a ship. Caves are not that plentiful...

Your argument is that it should take less than one game session to unlock new fully upgraded items?

Hmmm... define how long is one game session for you... I can only speak for myself... I spend 10+ hours since the patch with the game...

But yeah it depends now as what this set was designed for.

If the purpose was that this is a set similar to the Troll set or the Root set... then no you can get either of those way faster then the Fenris set.

If the purpose was to be a endgame set for people already done with the Plains and it's boss, that mainly want to build now... then yeah, this is good.
Just one remark, Silver is so rarely used in building right now... only the Butchers Table needs 2, and apart from Armor and Weapons no Silver needed.

But feel free to educate me here.... since I probably overlook something. All I do is provide my point of view feedback. And as I seen others think similar.

[rexpiscator]

Last 2 caves out of the 6 I found came up very short...I'll have to find another Mountain biome to fully upgrade, or visit another seed...so many crystals in these caves, the dwarfeye of the mountains. bones, the resin, lol.

[Quineloe]

It's barely doable for one player. We're playing on a server of five, I doubt there's enough hair for all of us.

I don't think any resource with player scaling like this should be 100% finite and low supply to boot. I've had a good share of caves where I pulled out less than 10 pieces of hair, double checking every wall too before leaving.

[WuffWabbit]

It took me over 20 caves to get a full upgraded set.

[jonnin]

like BF caves and # of cores you find early game, these vary from loaded to empty. keep trying.

[Damnion]

My seed sucks. I've been through 3 mountain ranges tall enough to have silver veins and only found 1 cave. It didn't even have any cultists or golems in it, just a few werewolves and a crap-ton of bats.
