What I’ll have to be mindful of is making sure I select enough of the offsprings with the right genes, and as few of the ones with the wrong, equal-rarity genes.

I’m not factoring in getting Glimmer at all, as I have Runes, Gembond, and Spines to contend with against it, but that’s okay as Runes fulfills the goal anyway.įor Step 3, we’ll be selecting the best of the offspring these four pairs produce, and pair them together. Skink, Spinner, and Runes are also all present on various dragons. Oravine and Galiya are Pearcatchers, with Tyrell possibly producing Imps (we’re not counting on that, though). Lastly: The genes and breeds we need are all present. In case you are curious, I consider those colour ranges to be incredibly narrow, and that I lucked out on this one! One of my previous posts showcases more typical colour ranges to start with.īut we have all 3 rules covered: All 8 dragons are unrelated, and when paired together, they produce colour ranges that cover the colours we need (Overcast/Overcast/Ruby-Crimson). For this project, here are the pairs I found: You’ll be perusing the auction house for those starter 8 dragons. The hardest part is starting the project, though it will be made much easier when the auction house revamps hits, because selecting multiple breeds, genes, and colours will be an absolute GODSEND for this. If I wind up with an Imp or with Glimmer, that’s cool too, but I’m not going to sweat for it. So how did I start out? Because I have multiple options for breed and tert gene, I aimed for the lower rarity options, Runes and Pearlcatcher. More than one, and you start running into issues later on. Ideally, keep looking for a better pair, but if that proves impossible, it’s not the end of the world if this happens to one pair. Sometimes, this is difficult, and one of the pairs may be just barely out of range. You’ll thank yourself later for coordinating this one properly. When paired together, their ranges cover the desired colours. The dragons shall be 4 males and 4 females. Sometimes, if dragons are abundant for a particular project, I’ll even avoid genes/breeds of the same rarity.ģ. You want to avoid low chances of inheriting the right genes. Breeding Rarity Comparisons is your best friend. The rest of the genes and breeds shall be of equal or greater rarity than the desired genes. Among the 8 dragons, the desired genes and breed shall be present at least once. You don’t just need to be able to breed them together you must also be able to breed their offspring together.Ģ. All 8 dragons shall be unrelated to each other.

That was madness, and also usually unnecessary. Way back when, I started with 16 dragons total. Second step: Set up the first generation. Overcast Skink/Overcast Spinner/Ruby-Crimson Glimmer or Runes, male Imperial or female Pearlcatcher. I shall use one of my current projects as an example. Let’s see how this works.įirst step: Know what we want to breed. You start with a whole bunch of dragons, then narrow them down to a single super close pair, which then, in theory, shall produce the dragon you need. What is being created is a little bit like a reverse pyramid scheme, I guess.

This guide is useful for achieving those dream dragons that don’t exist yet in any form, and all without ever having to buy a breed or gene scroll! To save them a long, wordy spiel, I shall create a long, wordy spiel, with pictures and examples! Wow, such improvement. I frequently have people asking me for help on starting their breeding projects, and I wind up giving a very long spiel on how I go about the task of breeding something very specific that doesn’t exist yet. Since I don’t have too much to say as I am between phases of my projects (and utterly drowning in dragons in the process), I figure now would be a good time to write this thing up.
