Ocelot¶

Ocelot

A shy jungle cat, fast as lightning.

The Ocelot 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 Ocelot onto your ranch. Requires Gathering level 70 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, ocelots 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 2,500 chance it leaves a Ocelot Egg behind (announced server-wide). That rate is tuned by how cheap and renewable its food is.

Feeding ocelots¶

Right-click any adult ocelot while holding Raw/Cooked Chicken or Raw/Cooked Cod, Raw/Cooked Salmon, Tropical Fish or any custom fish (never Pufferfish) to feed it, as often as you like. Each feed has a 1 in 10 chance to produce a random piece of low-value treasure, with the same 1-in-500 Bottle Cap special as the parrot. While your Ocelot Pet follows you, its happiness improves those odds (up to twice as good at maximum mood).

The Ocelot Pet¶

Feeding (1 in 50,000), defeating (1 in 5,000), or leaf-startling ocelots can earn you the Ocelot 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 - Metal Claws: your out ocelot pet makes your spawner ocelots hit targets with over 3,000 max HP up to 50% harder. All unique perks scale with the pet's mood.

The Ocelot Spawner¶

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