The Warbucks

**“**I say! There's something hidden here!**”**
–**The Warbucks**

**The Warbucks** is the Character exclusive to the *Hamlet* DLC. The Warbucks is the tenth character to be unlocked via Experience, requiring 2880 XP to become available. He is the stereotypical late 19th to early 20th century British explorer. Judging by his tanned skin, it can be assumed that he spends most of his time in the outdoors.

## Special Power

The Warbucks gains sanity over time when he holds Oincs. He gains, in a non-linear way, up to 40 Template:Sanity per minute if there are up to 200 Oincs in the Warbucks's inventory. Holding more than 200 Oincs does not increase the Warbucks's Sanity regeneration further. He also starts the game with the Ball Pein Hammer and the Magnifying Glass.

Because he is an explorer, his experience with treasure hunting tools allows him to only consume half of what is normally consumed for the Ball Pein Hammer, Magnifying Glass, Disarming Tools and Gold Pan.

The table below represents the exact number of sanity regeneration depending on the amount of Oincs.

 10-19
 20-49
 50-199
 200 and more

### Disadvantages

The Warbucks loses 15 sanity every time he eats Food not prepared in a Crock Pot.

## Tips

* Making Crock Pot dishes is difficult at the beginning of the game. When coupled with the Warbucks' low maximum Hunger, the player is in danger of either starving, or going insane quickly from eating raw food. Spending the first few days clearing the Deep Rainforest to collect the Lost Relics there, and then visiting the Pig City gives the player enough Tenpiece Oincs to easily survive before a Crock Pot is made.
* The Warbucks' ability to regain Sanity by holding Oincs in the inventory allows him to manage it easily if the player has sufficient Oincs on hand. This is arguably even more useful than the Maxwell's ability, as the player can choose to stop the sanity regeneration at any time, and control the rate at which it happens.
	+ The downside is that this was a mid-game advantage since the Warbucks starts with no Oincs.

## Trivia

* In the *Hamlet* beta, the Warbucks could be "unlocked" by selecting a new game slot and clicking on either the *Shipwrecked* option or the *Reign of Giants* option. The Warbucks could be selected from the character selection screen. The player would hit apply for the Warbucks, then go back and click on the *Hamlet* option. The Warbucks would remain applied and the player can start a *Hamlet* world as the Warbucks.
* The Warbucks' voice is played by a bugle.
* When the Warbucks enters combat, his voice plays to a tune similar to the finale of the *1812 Overture* by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. He is the only playable character with a unique battle cry.
* In the *Hamlet* beta, the Warbucks had a base sanity of 300. This was changed to 200 in the early access release, likely for it to be more manageable.
* His title in the *Hamlet* beta was "The Warbucks". It was changed to "The **Warbucks**" in the Early Access for *Hamlet*.
* In a developer stream by Klei, it was said that some inspirations for his character included the Pelt from *Jumanji* and the Professor Archimedes Q. Porter from Disney's *The Tarzan*.
* In Art Stream #46, an unimplemented alternate design of the Warbucks' character portrait was seen being used as a reference. The Shovel replaced the Blunderbuss, and he wore the smile.
