Taming
| Requirement | Value |
|---|---|
| Minimum Animal Taming | 11.1 (below this you have no chance) |
| Control slots | 1 |
| Maximum owners | 5 (each previous owner makes it harder to tame) |
| Bonding | Yes |
| Rideable | No |
| Favorite food | Fruits and vegetables or grain and hay |
- Success chance. For a first-time tame, your chance of success at the end of an attempt rises by about 2% per skill point and reaches 100% at 61.0 skill. Every previous owner adds 6 points to the difficulty.
- Don't hurt it. If it takes any damage during your attempt, taming fails with "The animal is too angry to continue taming."
- Stay close. You must stay within 6 tiles of it and keep a clear path to it.
- Obedience. Once tamed, its taming requirement is 29.1 or lower, so it always obeys its owner.
- Re-taming. If you've owned this one before, taming it again always succeeds ("That wasn't even challenging.").
- After its first tame, its skills drop to 90% of their wild values, or 86% if it was paralyzed while you tamed it. Its stats don't drop.
Bonding
Only the owner can bond with a cow. Its taming requirement is 29.1 or lower, so there's no Animal Taming requirement to bond. Feed it to start bonding, then feed it again after 7 days to finish. When you see "Your pet has bonded with you!", it's done.
Milking
Target a cow with an empty drink container, such as a pitcher, to fill it with milk.
- Each cow gives 4 fills. After that you must wait 1 day from the last milking before it gives milk again ("This cow can not be milked now. Please wait for some time.").
Cow tipping
Double-clicking a cow has a 5% chance to make it play its tipping animation, and some chance to make it moo (15% one sound, 20% another). It's just for fun and does nothing else.
Loot
It carries no loot.
Carving
Use a blade on the corpse to get:
- 8 raw ribs
- 12 hides
Tips
- Anyone with 11.1 Animal Taming can try, and every attempt succeeds from 61.0.
- It always obeys its owner.
- Carve the corpse for 8 raw ribs and 12 hides.
- Bring an empty pitcher to collect milk.
