Pig¶

A mud-loving oinker, always hungry.
The Pig 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 Pig onto your ranch. Requires Gathering level 10 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 Apple
x64 Potato
x64 Oran Berry
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, pigs 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 Pig Egg behind (announced server-wide). That rate is tuned by how cheap and renewable its food is.
Feeding pigs¶
Right-click any adult pig while holding a Carrot, Beetroot or Potato to feed it, as often as you like. Each feed has a 1 in 10 chance to produce Cocoa Beans. While your Pig Pet follows you, its happiness improves those odds (up to twice as good at maximum mood).
The Pig Pet¶
Feeding (1 in 50,000), defeating (1 in 5,000), or leaf-startling pigs can earn you the Pig 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 Pig Spawner¶
Trade Pig Eggs back to Steve for a Pig Spawner: a placeable spawner that keeps a hardy, farmable pig on your claim - complete with its own job.
