Husbandry
Handling animals: gentling horses and stray stock, riding, keeping a farm, and setting snares.

| Do this | XP |

| Young born on your farm | 40 each |
| Butcher an animal | 10 |
| Set a snare | 2 |
| Take a catch from one | 8 |
Gets quicker#
Your level brings the time down on these, the same share every level, until it's as quick as it gets at level 30.
| Job | Level 1 | Level 10 | Level 20 | Level 30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Each try with an animal | 6 s | 5.1 s | 4 s | 3 s |
| Shear a sheep | 9 s | 7.1 s | 5.1 s | 3 s |
| Milk a cow | 7 s | 5.8 s | 4.4 s | 3 s |
| Butcher an animal | 10 s | 8.1 s | 6.1 s | 4 s |
What it opens up#
- Your chance with each try at gentling goes up. For a horse it's 20% at level 1, 40% at level 10, and tops out at 85% from level 30. Hens, sheep and pigs come easier than that.
- Your animals have young sooner, until it's 30% less of a wait at level 30.
- Husbandry 10: yoking a grown bull to a cart as an ox. A horse anyone can hitch, but a bull takes someone who knows cattle.
Past level 30#
From level 30, every lot of eggs, wool or milk you take has a chance of giving you one more: 2.5% at level 31, going up 2.5% a level to 50% at level 50.
