Cowbo Jones
From IdleOn MMO Wiki
Cowbo Jones is on the righthand side of YumYum Grotto, near the portal to Jar Bridge. He facilitates the main questline in Yum-Yum Desert much the same way Scripticus does in Blunder Hills.
His quests introduce Alchemy and guide the player through the Desert, leading up to Efaunt. His final quest awards the YumYum Sheriff Trophy.
