Snow Golem¶
A frosty guardian built of snow and pumpkin.
The Snow Golem 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 Snow Golem onto your ranch. Requires Gathering level 98 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 Snow Block
x64 Carved Pumpkin
x64 Stick
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, snow golems 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 Snow Golem Egg behind (announced server-wide). That rate is tuned by how cheap and renewable its food is.
Feeding snow golems¶
Right-click any adult snow golem while holding Ice or Packed Ice to feed it, as often as you like. Each feed has a 1 in 5 chance to produce a Carrot. While your Snow Golem Pet follows you, its happiness improves those odds (up to twice as good at maximum mood).
The Snow Golem Pet¶
Feeding (1 in 50,000), defeating (1 in 5,000), or leaf-startling snow golems can earn you the Snow Golem 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 - Frost Pack: your out snow golem pet improves its carrot feeding odds from 1 in 5 up to 1 in 3. All unique perks scale with the pet's mood.
The Snow Golem Spawner¶
Trade Snow Golem Eggs back to Steve for a Snow Golem Spawner: a placeable spawner that keeps a hardy, farmable snow golem on your claim - complete with its own job.
