Full Guide: Breeding

Sarane are a powerful species of dragons often used for fighting in the Fighting Pit. Characters can raise, train, battle, and breed their Sarane. Adopting, raising, and battling Sarane are covered in the Sarane Tutorial. This section is about breeding Sarane.

There are two ways to breed Sarane: Dominance breedings, earned through achieving Dominance with your Sarane; and paid breedings, purchased with cash.

Please note that gelded (or spayed) Sarane cannot participate in any breedings. Please see the Sarane Tutorial for more information about gelding.


Once per Season, if you have at least one Dominant Sarane, you are entitled to a free Dominance breeding. You are limited to one Dominance breeding per user per season, no matter how many Dominant Sarane you own.

Exception: If you win a tournament, you are entitled to 1 more Dominance breeding during that season only. For this additional breeding, you must use the Sarane that won the tournament.

One parent of the Dominance breeding must be a Dominant Sarane owned by you. The other parent can be any other Sarane of the opposite sex, so long as they are an adult. The second parent does not need to be broken or dominant in order to participate in a dominance breeding.



Offspring from Dominance breedings will be 1 tier higher than the Dominant parent, up to a max of tier 3.

• If the Dominant parent is tier 1, offspring will be tier 2.
• If the Dominant parent is tier 2, offspring will be tier 3.
• If the Dominant parent is tier 3, offspring will be tier 3.
• If both parents are Dominant, offspring tier will be determined by the Sarane owned by the user who initiated the breeding.
• If both are Dominant and owned by the same user, offspring tier will be determined by the highest-tiered parent.

To order a Dominance breeding:



If you're not concerned about tiers or Dominance, you can always purchase Sarane breedings through cash. However, there are a few rules:

• Both parents must be broken (if applicable) to be bred this way.
• Offspring from paid breedings are always tier 1, regardless of the tiers of their parents.
• Once per season, you may purchase a breeding between two parents of the same sex. However, any offspring produced this way will always be the same sex as their parents.

To order a paid breeding:



With a patterned wishing star, you can influence the design of one of the offspring in your Sarane breeding! To use a wishing star, send the item along with the following form when applying for a Sarane breeding.

Form:

Since genders and tail types are not guaranteed to show up in Sarane breedings, your wishing star will be returned if your desired tail type and gender combination is not available from that breeding. The artist will make sure not to use your design on any of the other offspring in case you would like to try again later.


With tiers, tail types, and breeds to think about, Sarane stats can be a bit tricky. This is a walk through of how to create proper stats for your offspring.

Step 1: Select a stat base. Your Sarane's stat base is determined by their sex.


Step 2: Select a breed. Offspring must choose a breed from one of their parents.

Each breed adds an ability or move to the Sarane's stats:

Step 3: Look at your Sarane's tail type. Depending on the type, add the following to your Sarane's stats:

Step 4: Determine your Sarane's tier. Bonuses for tier 2 and 3 also depend on the sex of your Sarane. Refer to the chart below and add the appropriate set to your Sarane's stats. Please note that the tier bonuses for do not stack. (A tier 2 does not also get the tier 1 bonus, and so on.)



Now you should have a finished set of stats for your Sarane!

If you're still feeling overwhelmed, you can always post a thread in the Help area, and other members or staff can help you figure out stats for your Sarane.

Whiptail Jackaroos, Kairfuryoo, Snorgs, Dragon Oaks, and Mussimanders are breedable using the Pair of Roots item purchased from Nature's Bounty.

To do a Root Pair Breeding:




Customs and FVSC for all Root Pair species are available through the Sanctuary shop in the Flea Market.

Special Root Pair Species are sometimes available as prizes for special events, or from prize shops like the contest hall or fighting pit.

Root Pair species can also be found in the following places:








With a bright wishing star, you can design one of the offspring in your Root Pair breeding yourself! To use a wishing star, include the item in the first post, and include a picture of your design and/or describe the design you want to the best of your ability.

Rules:

If you are unsure, you may send a message to Silver to ask if the design is acceptable before using your wishing star.



Sometimes when doing Root Breedings, one of your offspring may come out a little (or a lot!) different from the parents. Sometimes, mutations may appear even if the parents don't have any. However, they may also not appear, even if the parents have them. The chances of mutations appearing are fairly low, so if you're trying for one of these results, don't get discouraged!

If you're curious about how the mutations might affect the offspring's stats, please see the offspring stats page for more information.


More mutations will be added as they are discovered.

Pachee are a strange mix of plant and animal that are able to breed for free without the use of items. Pachee are sexually dimorphic: Males have stamens on their tails, while females have a slit on their foreheads. In order to breed, a male Pachee shakes his pollen into the air, and the female closes her eyes and opens the slit on her forehead to accept the pollen.

To breed your Pachee:




Where do you get your hands on some Pachee to start breeding? The common males are free to adopt by copying the code below:



Additionally:

• Nature's Bounty sells many kinds of Pachee, including females and offspring.
• Special males are sometimes found as creature encounters while Gardening, or occasionally appear for trade at Curious Collections.
• If you have a lot of garden items, you can get some interesting males from the Pachee Pollen Project.
• The Contest Hall offers some special Pachee as prizes.
• You can purchase customized males from Rainbow Factory.
• Users may invite you to participate in a breeding with their Pachee, or they may be willing to lend you some.

Special female Pachee are only available through breedings. They cannot be bought or created in any other way.


The following items can be used for Pachee breedings. You may use only one of each per breeding. You are not required to use any items in your Pachee breedings.





With a pastel wishing star, you can design one of the offspring in your Pachee breeding yourself! To use a wishing star, include the item in the first post, and include a picture of your design and/or describe the design you want to the best of your ability.

Rules:

If you are unsure, you may send a message to Silver to ask if the design is acceptable before using your wishing star.


Pachee are delivered as their mature stage, but you can 'regress' your Pachee into a smaller, immature form with a Potion of Chi-Chi. The potion may be purchased from Nature's Bounty. Once purchased, post in the Potion Use Thread to use.

The potion works on any Pachee, but mutations such as wings and antlers disappear when regressed. Immature Pachee can't breed, and the effect is non-reversible, so use with caution!



Rarely, a genderless Pachee may be born, especially when experimenting with strange items. These Pachee do not have tail stamen or a forehead slit, and cannot be bred.

Unlike the other creatures in this tutorial, Draconics have their own society and are not considered 'pets'. Draconics have their own tutorial detailing their lore, how to adopt them, etc. Since Draconics can also breed with one another to produce offspring, we'll cover the breeding process here.



The standards for selecting Draconics to pair with one another are a bit more stringent than with other breedables. Be sure to check the following:

• The Draconics being bred cannot be living in the same lair (ie with the same character).
  -- Note that it is possible for one character to 'borrow' a Draconic from a different character's lair, so long as they have permission to do so. However, a breeding must always involve two different accounts.
• Draconics are not sexually dimorphic, but breedings still require one biological male* and one biological female.
• Draconics cannot be inbred within three generations. In other words, they cannot have a common ancestor within three generations. Please check the Draconic Geneaology thread before breeding your Draconics.

*Draconics can learn magic, and females can become biologically male for a short span of time using the Trick of the Incubi spell, allowing them to act as the 'male' breeder. However, the spell's duration is too short to allow males to act as females and carry eggs to term.





With a patterned wishing star, you can design one of the offspring in your Draconic breeding yourself! To use a wishing star, include the item in the first post, and include a picture of your design or describe the design you want to the best of your ability.
