Mastery Guild points
Guild points
- Each completed task adds its category's base points to its skill's guild; a task that stops being complete takes them back.
- A skill's total points are the base points of every task it lists. A rank is reached at ceil(total × the rank's point percent) points.
| Skill | Task points | Ranks |
|---|---|---|
| 75 | Ranching Initiate 0; Apprentice Rancher 30; Journeyman Rancher 45 |
Prayer XP
Prayer XP
- While any prayer is active, each of your hits that deals damage pays XP from Base experience, with that hit's damage and the summed base cost of the active prayers.
How Ranching works
- Animals produce every 3,600,000 ms (1 h) whatever their Product interval, and never fall ill in the demo.
Hourly products
- The product timer fires every 3,600,000 ms (1 h); Product interval does not set it.
- On each fire, every animal whose hunger and safety are above 0 adds Products × happiness, doubled with Output Doubling Chance. Each item's total over all animals is rounded down.
- Every animal then pays XP × happiness.
Happiness
- Happiness = max(0, 0.3 × hunger + 0.3 × safety + 0.4 × satisfaction + Flat happiness), where safety counts as 1 from 0.75 up.
- Satisfaction is 0.5 when hunger is at least 0.5, plus 0.4 when safety is at least 0.5, plus each treat eaten at its satisfaction, plus 0.04 for an animal that needs pets and has been petted, plus each pack bonus whose animal count the enclosure reaches.
- The 0.3 illness penalty never applies in the demo: the 0.00025 illness roll is switched off.
Food, upkeep and repairs
- Every Food consumption interval each animal eats its Eats, unless Food Preservation Chance spares the food. A fed animal's hunger becomes 1; an unfed one's falls by 0.1.
- Every Maintenance interval each enclosure with animals loses 0.01 maintenance, unless Enclosure Maintenance Skip Chance skips it. Safety follows maintenance.
- A repair restores maintenance to 1 for max(1, ceil(trunc(cost ÷ 1,000) × 100 × (1 − maintenance))) of each build cost.
- Every 86,400,000 ms (24 h) each animal eats its treats, except treats the player turned off.
Life cycle and breeding
- Animals age once a minute. An animal is a child for floor(Base variant interval ÷ 60,000) minutes, then grows into a variant drawn by weight among those whose requirements are met, and dies after floor(lifespan ÷ 60,000) minutes.
- An animal that needs pets asks again 172,800,000 ms (48 h) after each pet; its first pet pays 10 XP.
- Every 3,600,000 ms (1 h) each enclosure tries to breed its kinds in order. A kind with at least 2 animals and fewer than the enclosure limit gains a free animal with chance 0.0001 × its animals at happiness 0.75 or more × its average happiness. The first kind outside those counts ends the check.
