What the Bacon Pig Does
The Bacon Pig’s Bacon Frenzy ability is highly sought after because it enhances fruit farming efficiency:

- Combine with other pets: Pairing the Bacon Pig with pets that increase fruit growth or collection speed can drastically improve farming efficiency.
- Time your farming sessions: Keep track of when the aura is active to plant or harvest fruit during the 15-second buff window.
