Elin:Ranch

If you keep livestock on your land, you can get eggs, milk, etc. from them.

Livestock Overview

Players can appoint or return a resident or pet to livestock via the resident board/list or by speaking directly to the individual.

Domesticated members produce milk and eggs. The efficiency of production depends on the race. Some livestock can also shear hair (fiber). As livestock levels increase, they receive bonuses to the quality of these products.

Livestock are not counted as residents, but instead cannot perform their original jobs and hobbies, cannot be bought and sold, cannot be taken on adventures as companions, and no longer generate requests.

Ranch

By placing a ranch sign on a player's land, the area can be designated as a ranch where livestock can be gathered and raised. The bill is not mandatory, and the livestock can be allowed to roam free without a ranch.

See also the Housing page.

Feeding

Pasture grass can be gathered by cutting pasture grass or silver grass that grows on the plains of the global map, or it can be grown on your own land.

If pasture grass is placed on the ground or in a shared container, livestock will consume pasture grass daily to produce eggs, milk, and recover hair.

You can check the number of pastures remaining and the amount consumed per day on the Home board.

Hair shearing

Some animals can shear hair (fiber).

The amount of fiber obtained depends on the type of livestock, quality bonuses are based on the level of the livestock, and the amount of fiber can be sheared depends on the length of time the livestock has been growing. You can harvest hair from monsters without raising livestock, but it is more difficult to harvest hair from an engaged opponent, and the quality and quantity of hair will be lower than with livestock.

Hair will regrow on its own up to Newly grown on monsters or neutral animals such as those found in towns, the wilderness and dungeons, and occasionally spawning on player properties, but pets and residents will only regrow when set as livestock and properly fed.

See the Resources or Bestiary page for animals that can be sheared and the materials from which they can be sheared.

Training Skill

You gain experience for your taming skill when you shear the hair. You gain more experience when you shear a Fluffy Hair than when you shear a Newly grown Hair.

Your taming skill level affects the strength of the milk you use on monsters born from eggs, allowing you to use it with 100% effectiveness.

(If your taming level is low, even milk with a high strength value will be slightly less effective.)

Your taming skill level does not affect the amount of resources you gain from shearing.

Hair Growth

The following table is for snow putit (cashmere).

The amount that can be sheared seems to vary depending on the type of livestock or the fiber material.

Snow putit (cashmere)

Hair Growth	Amount	Days
Newly grown	1～2	０～
Slightly Fluffy	4～6
Almost Fluffy	6～9
Fluffy	12～14

Breeding

Unlike Elona, livestock in Elin do not multiply on their own. Instead, they sometimes lay fertilized eggs, which can be placed on the bed and wait for a while or placed in an incubator to hatch and breed livestock.

Livestock born from eggs have powerful growth bonuses and can be milked to grow to the player's desired ability. They can therefore be taken along on adventures as pets.

Note that players and unique NPCs cannot be bred from fertilized eggs; instead, chickens are born from the eggs.

Slaughter

In addition, killing livestock in Elin does not guarantee meat drops; the probability is the same as for regular NPCs. Animal monsters have a high meat drop rate, making them suitable for raising for butchery purposes. Defeated livestock, like residents and pets, can be revived after a certain period of time or by asking the bartender.

In addition, by using a butcher knife, you can slaughter livestock and obtain a large amount of meat and hair.

Only races that can shear the hair can obtain it, while races that do not drop meat, such as machines, can obtain items that normally drop (ore, stone, etc.) instead of meat.

However, as a trade-off, regular NPCs that have been slaughtered will permanently disappear, while livestock belonging to unique NPCs will not disappear, but it will take two months for them to revive.

Slaughtered livestock cannot be revived even by residents with Nursing or the Bartender.
