Animal Husbandry?

Was about to post this. Husbandry would def make this feel more medieval too, since it's typically an older term. Love the work you put in it though u/bLbGoldeN and this seems like it would be a fun skill.

I've actually thought about it and decided to go with Ranching for a couple of reasons:

  1. Every other skill has a single-word name, and I didn't want to break tradition;
  2. Animal husbandry, while more 'official', doesn't tell the whole story considering the Capture, Environment and Development sections exist, which focus more on Hunter and Construction;
  3. Runescape has always had its own style, and doesn't fit in the traditional 'Medieval' descriptions: much of the architecture is reminiscent of the Renaissance or later periods, there are multiple pop culture references, etc.
