Milking is one of the nine non-combat skills in Milky Way Idle. The player can gain Experience to level up this skill by milking cows. There are seven tiers of cows that the player can unlock by leveling up Milking. The time it takes to milk increases accordingly to the tier of the cow. The player can reduce the time it takes to milk by using a brush.

Milking

Milk has three uses. It is required to smith cheese, to brew tea and coffee, and to cook cake and yogurt.
