BreedingWhy hasnt anyone tried breeding pets? Are they unaware or just dont care? Im just curious of course, though with our static user base im not sure how much money you could rack in.

It seems kind of awkward to me actually, I'm not an avid supporter of intentional breeding in real life myself, but that's beside the point. The problem I see is, if offspring are produced, is only one egg/baby produced, or a random number (in a respectable amount)?

I believe only one is produced. It still has the ability to add up though. I do not do it because I personally do not care enough to.

Only one is produced by it will hatch naturally. Also it doesnt take much more effort than owning two animals of the same species and just ahving them in your vault.

do we need a male and a female?? or can we have a female and breed it with another's male?? I wasnt all that clear with it.

Thats fine, you do not need to permanently own both the male and the female, but they do need to be in the same vault and be of the same species. Also there is no guarantee of how long it will take to breed or even if the two will breed. Its kinda just a random luck type of thing just like real life?
However if they do breed it can be beneficial, as one you can sell them to others cheap making a profit. Or you could be like i am in pokemon(sorry for the reference but yes i still play) and simply breed for the sake of it until you have so many that you have absolutely no idea what to do with them. However Who knows what mutations/genetic enhancements might take place if you breed a species so many times!

I think if I were to try to breed I would try to have wass breed. I know they have some potential to get very strong. Still, it gets kind of costly and there is no guarantee that they will be the opposite sex when created. That is why I am truly hesitant.

Hrmm if I were to breed it would be with lumpbirds as they are cheap enough to summon and thus could be bread economically. Plus I am curious to see what an evolved form of a lumpbird would be. That being said, if more people used creatures or even got them in the first place, we could then try to push breeding to get more creatures from our own hands!

Sounds great, and now I wonder, can we breed lump birds to make... LUMP STICKS?!?!?! We can open a restaurant lol. I'm trying to get a poison gnar, and most likely if I get a bunch of souls before someone buys my volatile liquid, I'll use it to try to get another gnar, hopefully of a different gender, and that would be a great source of income.

Yes poison gnar would be something valuable to breed, another thing would be Orsa....good luck with that. Oh and Im sure if anyone manages to ever get a susivicus Koku would pay a hefty price for it.

I have a F lumpbird and a M lim-thingy. need to look up the spelling. can never remember it. Its the free mount once you get to knight. ya that thingy. How do i breed them again. is there a certain spot, or do I just tell you? I dont lose Lumpy for a certain time period do I??
|

First you must have creatures of the same species to mate, thus lumpy cannot mate with your lacrimablis as that is interspecies relations and thus unable to be bred.

He said they do not need to be of the same species. He also commented on weird mutations....

Hrmm I recommend reading that quote one more time. While you do not have to permanently own them, you must first meet two things; they need to be in the same vault and be the same species.

oops, thank you. I must have been adding in a word or two for some reason. sorry about that. thanks for being nice and polite about it. sorry

Its ok haha. We all make mistakes so instead of exploding about it its best just to sweep it under the rug and explain nicely. If you insisted a second time however. I may not have been so nice ;) Joking of course.
|
Billgar

Archaic once more brings up a valid point! If you have several of them of the same species(say 5 lumpbirds in total of varying genders) you chances of finding an egg greatly increase). Also with the mutation thing, thats if you carry a certain blood line long enough it might turn into a new species.
|
Schmall
|
what about breeding birds of different species?? Its possible in RL, so maybe something worth thinking about. Of course the odds of that happening would be slimmer than normal...
|
Billgar
|
Well its not like there are written rules for breeding so I suppose that it is possible. At the same time however i dont think i would bother to draw a hybrid of a tonsor and a lump. They are both just far too similar in appearance already.
