Welcome to Desert Ranching!
Welcome to Desert Ranching!
So! You have arrived to Solara Veil and are thinking about starting your very own Desert Ranch.
If so that's the case, then you'll need to claim a Property, since the Town is just giving them away to any person who intends to remain in Town. Once you have an Address, you'll need to visit the Architectural Guild in order to commission them to come to your Property and build up the necessary infrastructure for your Ranch.
A Ranch Commission costs 10 Coins, which may sound like a lot, but have no fear! You can earn those 10 Coins via Submissions!

Important Details About Ranch Life
Important Details About Ranch Life
Desert Ranching can be complicated, and when one first starts off in this lifestyle, it can overwhelming to take care of by yourself. However, there are a few things that your character can do to help improve their Ranch.
For starters, by renovating your Ranch, the building can be better constructed for future use, or expanded. To find details on how to renovate, go to the Architectural Guild for a quick commission!
Besides this, it's also important to have Livestock at your character's ranch to raise! Which is why your character can buy Livestock at the Desert Bloom Ranch. They can buy not only the breed and the sex of the Livestock, but also choose the size of the livestock as well!
Both Livestock and Ranch buildings can also experience danger and damages from any potential Hazards and Weather conditions that can occur monthly, so be sure to look up up at what Hazards can affect Ranchers!
Another thing to know is that there are ways to prevent Hazards from causing harm to Ranches. Such as owning a Draft Companions or buying special equipment from the Architectural Guild as well.

In order to breed new Livestock, a Rancher must own an Adult Male and Female of the same species of Livestock.
Note The only exception is that the Male-only Tauros can only breed with the Female-only Miltank.
To Breed Livestock you simply need to create a Submission that depicts your character introducing your Male and Female Livestock to one another or the act of breeding itself. Have fun and be as creative as you want!
Note Solara Veil is an 18+ group, so depictions of Pokémon breeding can be considered a Breeding Submission, as long as the proper Spoiler Tags are attached to them upon submitting them to the Discord server. Viewer discretion is advised.

Ranch Hired Help
Ranch Hired Help
What's the difference between Ranchers and Hired Help? Well, Ranchers are the Solarans who pay for the Renovations and Equipment and Hired Help are the ones who... work! To be Hired Help is for the Solarans who want to do the daily work, without any of the fuss of managing or up-keeping a Ranch.
However! The more Hired Help a Ranch has, the more Coins earned for all those involved! Hard work and supporting Solara Veil's growing workforce does pay off!
For more information, see the Hired Help & Business Employees page!
