Wolf¶
A loyal companion once tamed.
The Wolf 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 Wolf onto your ranch. Requires Gathering level 40 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 Bone Block
x64 Raw Beef
x64 Raw Mutton
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, wolfs 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 Wolf Egg behind (announced server-wide). That rate is tuned by how cheap and renewable its food is.
Feeding wolfs¶
Right-click any adult wolf while holding any meat or fish, cooked or raw, custom fish included (never Pufferfish) to feed it, as often as you like. Each feed has a 1 in 10 chance to produce a Bone. While your Wolf Pet follows you, its happiness improves those odds (up to twice as good at maximum mood).
The Wolf Pet¶
Feeding (1 in 50,000), defeating (1 in 5,000), or leaf-startling wolfs can earn you the Wolf 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 - Pack Howl: your out wolf pet makes your spawner wolves bite up to 25% harder. All unique perks scale with the pet's mood.
The Wolf Spawner¶
Trade Wolf Eggs back to Steve for a Wolf Spawner: a placeable spawner that keeps a hardy, farmable wolf on your claim - complete with its own job.
