Overview
Ibano is an NPC and the owner of Muckroot Ranch in the Hernand region. He is infamous for his difficult personality and is known to talk incessantly, making interactions with him a test of patience.
Location
Capra Pasture, associated with Muckroot Ranch.
Background
As the owner of Muckroot Ranch, Ibano oversees the ranch operations from Capra Pasture. His reputation for being difficult precedes him among the locals. Players who interact with him should be prepared for lengthy conversations. His ranch is also home to Arlan and Lauren, whose marital bickering adds to the lively atmosphere of the property.
Reputation Unlock
Ibano can be found in the side of the main courtyard at Capra Pasture, alongside the goats he tends. Maxing his reputation to 100 unlocks baby goats for purchase at your ranch from Ben.
Ibano accepts several gift types. Money pouches are the fastest option because they stack in your inventory and can be handed over in bulk. He also accepts food and lanterns, so hand off whatever surplus you have from camp cooking or scavenging. You can start building his reputation the first time you meet him during the main story, well before the goat unlock becomes a priority, so keep a few money pouches on hand any time you pass through the pasture.
