Goat¶
A headstrong climber with a mighty ram.
The Goat 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 Goat onto your ranch. Requires Gathering level 55 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 Wheat
x12 Moomoo Cheese
x64 Sweet Berries
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, goats 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 Goat Egg behind (announced server-wide). That rate is tuned by how cheap and renewable its food is.
Feeding goats¶
Right-click any adult goat while holding ANY flower to feed it, as often as you like. Each feed has a 1 in 10 chance to produce a Milk Bucket. While your Goat Pet follows you, its happiness improves those odds (up to twice as good at maximum mood).
The Goat Pet¶
Feeding (1 in 50,000), defeating (1 in 5,000), or leaf-startling goats can earn you the Goat 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 - Fresh Pasture: your out goat pet can double its milk drops (up to 35%). All unique perks scale with the pet's mood.
The Goat Spawner¶
Trade Goat Eggs back to Steve for a Goat Spawner: a placeable spawner that keeps a hardy, farmable goat on your claim - complete with its own job.
