Queen Ant

From A Tale in the Desert
Jump to navigationJump to search

IMPORTANT: ANTS CAN POOF IN YOUR INVENTORY! THIS ONLY TAKES 5 MINUTES
From accounts it would seem that having fresh leaves in your inventory would stop this, as Malard was able to transport an ant all the way across regions

Not much is known about ants yet, but ants are *not*, repeat, *not* plants. Therefore Botanical Ident has *no* effect on them!

Obtaining

One queen has been found, the finder was examining pampas grass, herbing, and gathering wood. No message was displayed, the queen just appeared in his inventory.

It would seem that there ants are found on foliage, but not necessarily the same foliage as is currently giving leaves.

Two ants were found at the same time, different locations, different plant species, at approx midnight Egypt time (could be significant that this was also the time the week changed).

Things tried:

Leaves:

  • "Trim the lower leaves" on a vineyard with a knife in inventory (Pascalito - over 100)

Ants:

  • Dropping honey, dates on grass (Doku)
  • Dropping honey, dates on dirt (Doku)
  • Dropping honey, dates on sand (Doku)
  • Dropping honey, dates on kitchen (Doku)

Carrying an Ant

Once you have caught a Queen Ant it will die if you do not have Fresh Leaves on you. Also if you are carrying a Queen Ant and you have for example Fresh Leaves (week 34) on you and the week in game changes to (week 35) then your Queen Ant will die also. The Fresh Leaves you carry must be from the current week.

Raising Ants

Myrmecology will allow us to raise them.
