Cow¶

Cow

A gentle grazer that loves open pastures.

The Cow 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 Cow onto your ranch. Requires Gathering level 20 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, cows 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 5,000 chance it leaves a Cow Egg behind (announced server-wide). That rate is tuned by how cheap and renewable its food is.

Feeding cows¶

Right-click any adult cow while holding Wheat to feed it, as often as you like. Each feed has a 1 in 10 chance to produce a Milk Bucket. While your Cow Pet follows you, its happiness improves those odds (up to twice as good at maximum mood).

The Cow Pet¶

Feeding (1 in 50,000), defeating (1 in 5,000), or leaf-startling cows can earn you the Cow 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.

The Cow Spawner¶

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