Befriending a Raccoon

If you meet the requirements you can get your very own useless ball off fluff, but doing the following.

• Find some corn, this can be foraged year round in certain locations. Outside ranger tent in Haven and clearing near the goblin brook are two easy places to find it.
• Travel to Leth Deriel. You want to go to the SW most room outside the SE Gate of Leth.
• PUT (yes the syntax matters) the corn on the ground.
• Hide and wait.
• When a baby raccoon comes out of the bushes and starts to eat the corn, APPROACH raccoon.
• Repeat until it does not run away form you, then quickly SIGNAL RACCOON TO JUMP.
  • There are hawks in this room that will eat baby raccoons on the ground.
  • Feeding the hawks is endless fun, particularly after you've lost your 20th companion to stupid game mechanics.

Care

• Feed it corn whenever it whimpers.
  • A (age modifier) raccoon begins to whimper.
• They get hungry 60 minutes after their last feeding. This is RL time, being logged out still counts.
• Pet them when they pace and get nervous.

Raccoon Tricks

• If you are foraging on the edge of your skill and can not find an item, the raccoon will find it for you.
