Camel¶

Camel

A tall desert strider, room for two riders.

The Camel 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 Camel onto your ranch. Requires Gathering level 88 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:

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, camels 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 10,000 chance it leaves a Camel Egg behind (announced server-wide). That rate is tuned by how cheap and renewable its food is.

Feeding camels¶

Right-click any adult camel while holding a Cactus to feed it, as often as you like. Each feed has a 1 in 2 chance to produce a Slimeball. While your Camel Pet follows you, its happiness improves those odds (up to twice as good at maximum mood).

The Camel Pet¶

Feeding (1 in 50,000), defeating (1 in 5,000), or leaf-startling camels can earn you the Camel 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 - Long Caravan: your out camel pet stretches the vault-collector web from 16 up to 24 blocks - vaults notice laden workers farther away, and collectors seek vaults farther away. All unique perks scale with the pet's mood.

The Camel Spawner¶

Trade Camel Eggs back to Steve for a Camel Spawner: a placeable spawner that keeps a hardy, farmable camel on your claim - complete with its own job.
