Location & How to Unlock it
Ben joins the camp after the second Greymane Camp upgrade, Gathered Will. To open the ranch, complete Field of Abundance and the Milk Harvest Mission Dispatch to Bloomwood Ranch, then send the dispatch that builds the ranch at Howling Hill. Ben’s Request follows and teaches you how to register and butcher livestock.
You’ll find Ben at the ranch in the Greymane Camp on Howling Hill, south of Hernand town.
Additional Info
What Each Animal Gives You
- Chickens: eggs and feathers
- Ducks: feathers
- Goats and cows: milk and short horns
- Sheep: fleece
- Pigs: no passive product, but they give marbled meat when butchered
Every animal you butcher also gives meat, hides or bones, depending on the animal.
Livestock Quality
Each animal has a quality level from 1 to 5, and everything Ben sells starts at level 1. Feed your animals to raise their quality: the Feed Bin keeps them fed passively, but you can speed up the process by manually dropping food.
Most young animals grow into adults by level 3, and higher quality means more produce, bigger butchering yields and a better sale price.
Breeding
Keep a registered male and female of the same species in the pen and keep them fed, and they breed on their own over time. The game doesn’t tell you when a new animal is born, so check the pen now and then.
Ranch Capacity
The ranch holds 25 animals, rising to 35 after the final camp upgrade. Animals you catch in the wild count too, once you register them at the registration stall.
