Donkey

Donkey

A stubborn but dependable pack animal.

The Donkey 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 Donkey onto your ranch. Requires Gathering level 50 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, donkeys 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 Donkey Egg behind (announced server-wide). That rate is tuned by how cheap and renewable its food is.

Feeding donkeys

Right-click any adult donkey while holding a Golden Carrot, Apple or Hay Bale to feed it, as often as you like. Each feed has a 1 in 10 chance to produce Leather. While your Donkey Pet follows you, its happiness improves those odds (up to twice as good at maximum mood).

The Donkey Pet

Feeding (1 in 50,000), defeating (1 in 5,000), or leaf-startling donkeys can earn you the Donkey 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 - Sure-Footed Hauler: your out donkey pet speeds every vault's full-load chest haul and halves its no-chest retry wait. All unique perks scale with the pet's mood.

The Donkey Spawner

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