Wickerbottom will spawn in with 2 Papyrus (8 Reeds) in her inventory so that players can craft their first book without needing to find reeds.Īlthough reading one of Wickerbottom’s books will reduce her Sanity, Sanity isn’t much of an issue to get back if you know what items to use.

Wickerbottom can also use a Science Machine as an Alchemy Engine, though she will still require an Alchemy Engine for one of her books.

Due to this, Wickerbottom has a bit of her own “Meta,” unlike most other characters.īeing that Wickerbottom is the fifth character you acquire from XP in Don’t Starve, it makes sense that Klei allows players to understand more about the game before playing Wickerbottom as some of her mechanics require some extra work out of your base.
