Tile/animal ratio corrected (was 11, should be 15); did some experiments and confirmed that unbranded animals must count toward the deed ratio
==Description==
Some animals including horses, cows, bulls, pigs and pheasants can be branded using a [[branding iron]]. Branding works only when on a deed you are a member of. Once branded, examining the animal shows the village it belongs to and allows members of that village to lead it, no matter where it is.
* On PvE servers branded animals cannot be attacked by another player unless they have the correct [[permissions]].
* Branded horses have the same protection when dead as when alive (until the next server restart), meaning only those who have permissions may take items from the corpse.
* PvE also prevents the sacrificing of branded animals.
* The maximum number of branded and unbranded animals per deed (PvE) is (number of tiles)/1115.** You can see the number of branded animals in '''Settlement info''': ''The tile per creature ratio of this deed is 45.621952. Optimal is 15.0 or more. This is a good figure. There are 35 creatures currently branded.''
* When a deed disbands, all brands are removed from their animals.
* Only [[premium]] players are allowed to brand animals.
* Branding only applies to the server you branded the animal on. If you cross over to another server, that animal is not considered branded on the new server.
== Usage ==
* Heat the branding iron to searing "it is hot" or glowing hothotter.
* Make sure you and the animal are within the deed you are a member of.
* Activate the branding iron, right-click the animal, and select ''Brand''.
* After use, the branding iron appears to lose 0.10Quality 10 Quality instead of taking actual damage.
Messages given when branding:
: ''You prepare to brand [animal, e.g. Young fat horse].''
: ''Determined, you raise your branding iron.''
: ''The [animal] makes a [horrible / pleasant] sound as you press your branding iron against it.''
When examining the animal after branding, it will say: "It has been been branded by and belongs to the settlement of [Settlement]."
Once branded, members of that village can lead the animalanywhere, no matter where even on deeds that they don't belong to. You still need a rope to lead it is. Animals cannot be branded when hitched.
== Unbranding ==
To unbrand an animal, simply use the [[branding iron]] on that animal again.
You can also unbrand in the manage animals menu.
Messages while unbrandingusing a branding iron:
: ''You prepare to remove brand on a [animal].''
