Fox¶
A sly berry thief with a bushy tail.
The Fox 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 Fox onto your ranch. Requires Gathering level 35 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 Sweet Berries
x64 Oran Berry
x1 Leek
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, foxs 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 Fox Egg behind (announced server-wide). That rate is tuned by how cheap and renewable its food is.
Feeding foxs¶
Right-click any adult fox while holding ANY berry - Sweet/Glow Berries or any Pixelmon berry to feed it, as often as you like. Each feed has a 1 in 10 chance to produce a random crop. While your Fox Pet follows you, its happiness improves those odds (up to twice as good at maximum mood).
The Fox Pet¶
Feeding (1 in 50,000), defeating (1 in 5,000), or leaf-startling foxs can earn you the Fox 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 - Keen Nose: your out fox pet grows its scoop search radius by up to 6 blocks. All unique perks scale with the pet's mood.
The Fox Spawner¶
Trade Fox Eggs back to Steve for a Fox Spawner: a placeable spawner that keeps a hardy, farmable fox on your claim - complete with its own job.
