The Axolotl Egg¶
Sold by Farmhand Steve after you defeat him in battle. It is a one-time-use spawn egg: right-click the ground inside a claim or rented plot where you can build (overworld only) to release a permanent Axolotl onto your ranch. Requires Gathering level 90 to buy AND to use, and the animal counts toward your 50-animal ranch cap. Ranch Protection (toggled per claim in /claimmanager) keeps released animals safe from harm.
Steve's price:
x64 Tropical Fish
x64 Poisonous Potato
x64 Poison Gem
A Turtle Ticket (earned by defeating the Ninja Turtle) pays for any ONE egg in place of its full item cost - the Gathering gate still applies.
Other ways to find the egg¶
Once you have the Gathering level, axolotls can hand you the egg themselves: every time you feed one, defeat one in combat, or startle one with the Leaf Staff, there is a 1 in 2,500 chance it leaves a Axolotl Egg behind (announced server-wide). That rate is tuned by how cheap and renewable its food is.
Feeding axolotls¶
Right-click any adult axolotl while holding Raw/Cooked Cod, Raw/Cooked Salmon, Tropical Fish or any custom fish (never Pufferfish) to feed it, as often as you like. Each feed has a 1 in 10 chance to produce a Glow Ink Sac. While your Axolotl Pet follows you, its happiness improves those odds (up to twice as good at maximum mood).
The Axolotl Pet¶
Feeding (1 in 50,000), defeating (1 in 5,000), or leaf-startling axolotls can earn you the Axolotl Pet - one per player, ever. While it follows you it improves that animal's feeding odds and can add a bonus drop on your kills. Its unique perk - Potent Venom: your out axolotl pet gives its poison a mood-scaled chance to tick at 3% per second. All unique perks scale with the pet's mood.
The Axolotl Spawner¶
Trade Axolotl Eggs back to Steve for a Axolotl Spawner: a placeable spawner that keeps a hardy, farmable axolotl on your claim - complete with its own job.
