Unlocking the Power of the Beastmaster Class

Diving into 99 Nights in the Forest, the Beastmaster class stands out as a fresh addition that's perfect for players who want high-impact gameplay without the sweat. Priced at 400 Diamonds, it's an accessible upgrade from the shop that spawns you with a Good Taming Flute right out of the gate.

This flute skips the newbie struggles of the first taming level, letting you jump straight into pet mastery. For context, that's a steal compared to flashier options, and it aligns with my lazy vibe—why grind basics when you can summon allies on demand?

The class shines in its core ability: hold your flute and stock at least three Steaks in your sack, and boom—you spawn a fully tamed Wolf ready to fight.

No more chasing wild packs or fiddling with Morsels for basic tames; it's streamlined for efficiency. Plus, you get a summon limit of five pets, which feels generous early on and scales into an absolute powerhouse later. As a self-proclaimed slacker in these woods, this setup lets me focus on looting fuel and saving kids instead of micromanaging every encounter.

Key Perks That Make Beastmaster a Game-Changer

What elevates Beastmaster beyond a simple summoner are its three core perks, each tuned for combat ease and progression speed:

1. Effortless Wolf Summons: Ditch the multi-step taming for wild Wolves. Just three Steaks, and you get a loyal companion. It's a godsend for lazy runs, cutting out the kite-and-feed dance.

2. Speed Boost on Attack: Your Wolves dash faster toward foes once you engage them. Picture this: you tag a cultist with a quick Revolver shot, and suddenly your pack closes in like lightning, diverting aggro and shredding health bars. It's especially clutch when targeting speedy prey, such as deer or evasive enemies.

3. Guaranteed Alpha Starter: Your very first summon is always an Alpha Wolf—a rare powerhouse that's tough to tame normally. Alphas tank hits, heal via Steaks, and deal massive damage, giving you an edge from minute one. In my playthroughs, Willow the Alpha became my MVP, mopping up threats while I snagged loot.

These perks aren't just bells and whistles; they're designed for solo survivors who want pets handling 80% of the work. And with the Whistle tool to rally your pack, repositioning feels intuitive, though it can glitch on multi-floor spots like the Cultist Stronghold—pro tip: lure them up stairs manually.

Why Beastmaster Outshines the Necromancer

If you've shelled out for the Necromancer at 600 Diamonds, you might feel the sting—it's flashy with soul-absorbing skeletons, but the grind is real.

Hunting cultists for souls takes ages, and without cheese strats like Stronghold farming, it's a slog. Beastmaster? At half the cost and zero soul-chasing, it's the clear winner for value. No obnoxious resource hunts; just Steaks from basic kills or kid-rescue quests.

In head-to-head tests, my five-Wolf squad cleared early threats faster than a Necro's minions, especially since Wolves heal easily and scale with upgrades. Necro's cool factor is undeniable, but for practical progression—fuel runs, base defense, stronghold solos—Beastmaster pulls ahead by a mile. If devs buff Necro, it might close the gap, but right now, it's the lazy choice that delivers.

Early Game Setup

Kicking off a Beastmaster run feels rewarding from the jump. Max out your class perks, then prioritize Steaks—snag three quick from roaming Wolves or the first Missing Child quest, which nets five more as a bonus. Summon your Alpha right away via the top-right UI, and watch it dominate spawns.

Gear-wise, grab a Revolver from Wolf drops for marking enemies (your pets only aggro what you hit), and stock Coal or Oil Barrels for campfire fuel—nights drain it fast, and low light means ambushes. I skipped the basic Flashlight for a Good Sack early; extra inventory space means more Steaks without constant trips home. By day three, with a full pack of five (mix Alpha and regulars like Dash or River), you're kiting bears and cultists effortlessly. Pro tip: Feed Steaks to heal mid-fight—keeps your army at 100% without downtime.

Exploration pays off too: hit banks for ammo crates, watchtowers for Rifles (high drop rate in silver chests), and kid quests for stacking goodies. My first run hit 70% campfire progress by night five, all while glazing over how "insane" it felt to lazy-progress.

Embracing the Latest Quality-of-Life Updates

This class dropped alongside a massive update that's a huge win for survivors. The stacking system—now for Stews, Bandages, Blueprints, and more—frees up sack space, making long hauls viable without overflow chaos. Pair it with the new Backpack: drag non-essentials there to declutter your hotbar. Devs, take a bow; it's a game-changer for hoarding fuel without the Tetris inventory woes.

UI tweaks include a beefier night/day cycle to fit the expanded sidebar—now crammed with compass, map, Whistle, and tame trackers. It looks busy at first (hunger bar, days counter, everything), but you'll adapt quick. New logos and double-gem weekends sweeten the deal, especially for Diamond farming. Comment "WQ" if you're loving this quality-of-life glow-up—it's made 99 Nights feel polished without losing that tense edge.

Advanced Taming

Once your flute hits Strong level (grind XP by taming/releasing basics), it's time for high-tier pets. Upgrading involves wood farming for crafting benches—aim for 200 logs to unlock plots and beds, but skip this step if you're against chopping. Focus on fishing spots: green ponds reliably yield salmon for upgrades.

• Alpha Wolves (Flute Tier 2, 4 Cycles): Each cycle needs 1 Steak, 1 Mackerel, and 1 Salmon. Total: 4 of each. Fish mackerel in open waters, salmon in greens—easy post-rod upgrade. Your pack's Wolves auto-kill wild Alphas overnight, netting free pelts for traders.

• Bears (Flute Tier 3, 5 Cycles): 1 Steak, 1 Salmon, 1 Pumpkin per cycle (total 5 each). Farm pumpkins in churches or snow biomes; Salmon from fishing. The mini-game's a rhythm tap—nail it, and Bears like Muffin join, tanking mammoths in seconds.

• Polar Bears (Flute Tier 3, 5 Cycles): Tougher at 1 Rib, 1 Swordfish, 1 Stew per (total 5 each). Swordfish demand deep fishing; Stews from auto-farms. They're DPS monsters but riskier to acquire—save for late-game.

• Mammoths (Flute Tier 3, 5 Cycles): 2 Pumpkins and 1 Cake per cycle (total 10 Pumpkins, 5 Cakes). Cakes spawn in snow/churches; it's unchanged and farmable. Two Bears shredded one in 10 seconds—imagine five!

By day 167, I had four Bears, but time constraints hit. Prioritize Bears for balanced power; they're OP against elites without Mammoth's hassle.

Building an Unstoppable Army

With five pets, strategy is key: Use high-ammo weapons like Revolvers to "mark" foes, then Whistle to regroup. Summons block bullets (watch your shots), and they solo most threats—clear Strongholds with minimal ammo by luring up stairs. Against bears, expect losses, but Steaks revive fast. For endgame, mix Alphas and Bears; five Bears could melt Mammoths in five seconds flat. It's gloriously lazy: your pack fights, you loot.
