Turtle

Turtle

A patient beach dweller with a sturdy shell.

The Turtle 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 Turtle onto your ranch. Requires Gathering level 62 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, turtles 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 1,000 chance it leaves a Turtle Egg behind (announced server-wide). That rate is tuned by how cheap and renewable its food is.

Feeding turtles

Right-click any adult turtle while holding a Sea Pickle or Pixelmon Ultra Deep Sea Pickle to feed it, as often as you like. Each feed has a 1 in 10 chance to produce 50/50 a Turtle Helmet or a scute - and 1 in 50 of those scutes is the Enchanted Scute that summons the Ninja Turtle. While your Turtle Pet follows you, its happiness improves those odds (up to twice as good at maximum mood).

The Turtle Pet

Feeding (1 in 50,000), defeating (1 in 5,000), or leaf-startling turtles can earn you the Turtle 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 - Shell Blessing: your out turtle pet improves the Enchanted Scute feeding odds from 1 in 50 to 1 in 35. All unique perks scale with the pet's mood.

The Turtle Spawner

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