Water Trough
Water Trough
The Water Trough is an object found throughout the world of Gielinor, primarily in farming areas where it serves crucial purposes for farmers and ranchers.
Location
Water Troughs can be found in various locations such as:
- The Farming Guild
- Near the Cows and Sheep pens in Lumbridge
- In various player-owned farms
- In the vicinity of many agricultural areas where livestock or crops are present
Functionality
The primary function of the Water Trough is to provide a source of water for the player’s livestock. Players need to use the trough to keep their animals hydrated. To use a Water Trough, players must have an appropriate animal in their vicinity, such as chickens, cows, or sheep, and then right-click on the trough to fill their buckets with water or refill the trough itself.
Interaction
Interacting with a Water Trough involves:
- Filling a Bucket: Players can fill buckets with water from the trough to use in farming or cooking activities.
- Refilling Animals: Players can refill the trough to ensure their livestock has access to water, which is necessary for raising them in player-owned farms.
Importance in Farming
Water Troughs are integral to farming mechanics. Animals require water to produce items, such as milk from cows or eggs from chickens. Players must manage the troughs effectively to maintain a productive farm.
Visuals
Water Troughs are typically represented as large, circular containers with a realistic water surface and can be seen filled with clear water. They are designed to blend in with the surrounding environments, often constructed from wood or stone, making them part of the rustic farming aesthetic of Gielinor.
