System Messages Radial Menus Game Mechanics Milking is the process of extracting milk resource from various herbivore creatures found in the wild. To begin milking a creature, a player must be within 3 meters of a creature and then click on the creature to bring up the radial menu. On the radial menu will be an option "Milk Creature." To actually successfully milk the creature, the player must also use mask scent or be concealed using camouflage from a ranger else the creature will be "spooked" and be unmilkable by the player until they meet those conditions. The player must remain within 3 meters of the creature in order to initiate an continue the milking process. If the player or the creature moves farther than 3 meters from the other, then the milking process is canceled. The milking process may also be canceled if the creature is startled (becomes alert by some other creature, or player arriving on the scene) or attacked as it will become "spooked" under these circumstances as well. The actual milking process is a series of 7 second interval system messages, as follows: You relax the creature and begin to milk it. You continue to milk the creature. You continue to milk the creature. You have successfully gathered milk from the creature! You can only successfully get milk from a creature once. After you have obtained milk, every subsequent attempt to milk that creature will give you the message that it is "dry of milk." There is no limit to the number of creatures that can be simultaneously milked at once provided that the creatures stay within the player's range. Baby variants of milkable creatures can be milked as well. Milk Yields Milk yields are based on the Challenge level of the mob where each creature has a base amount of milk determined by their individual levels, and a random range added to this base so that milking attempts have varying success. For example a cl 50 creature might have a base milk yield of 100 and a random range assigned to it of another 100. This means that the creature can have anywhere from 100 to 200 units of milk. Milking yields were apparently not affected by any skill mod or skill training level of a player. The lowest yields observed from records prior to the 13.1 milk yield changes are from CL 3 mobs that granted 5-10 units of milk. The highest yields observed were from cl 32 that yielded 64-128 units of milk. Using the limited dataset available, it is estimated that at 2 x any given challenge level point, the resource yields are doubled. This means that a CL 6 mob yields twice as much milk as a cl 3 mob. In this example, a cl 6 mob would yield between 10-20 units of milk. The scaling seems to increase fairly linearly. With the publish 13.1 changes to harvesting and milking rates, milking yields appear to have been increased significantly, perhaps by at least 40%, similar to the harvest yield increase [[1]]. This means that post publish 13.1, the previously mentioned observed milk yields would be 7-14 units of milk for a cl 3 mob and 89-179 for a cl 32 mob. There isnt much evidence to back up the percentage increase other than a few anecdotal accounts of certain cl 34 creatures yielding over 200 units of milk. 40% seems like a reasonable amount to be fairly on par with the observed yields of this time period.
