breeding good pets

Post by PatrickL »

I now breed for some month spending millions of gold for it. Now my pets get better and it starts to get annoying.
Out of 5 tries to breed, 4 times I get something like "This animals are to good and breeding is not succesful. You have to wait 12 hours...."
Breeding anyway is slow and expensive, but this really is annoying. Its nearly impossible to get good pets to "perfect" pets, cause breeding always fails.
Cant we make this "breeding fails" a bit less often?

first watch the language please. second wait till you get a lot of sterile. third, breeding wasn't suppose to be easy, and it doesn't cost you anything when you fail at breeding. only when you succeed does it cost you money. yes you may have ointed up the pet to make it maxed to breed, but still doesn't cost anything to breed.

Well, not to discourage you with breeding but even our vet breeders encounter this issues a long time ago... and until today nothing has change. Many players just breed for fun or to make a some decent gold. So, either you accept the facts and move on or you stop breeding.

Imps don't loose stats points when they die, thus with only this benefit it makes them one of the best pets in game.

good luck

I've been doing a lot of breeding myself. It is pretty time-consuming, and because of imp pets there's a ceiling on the market as to how much folks will pay for a bred pet. You're unlikely to get rich or uber just from being a breeder.

However, if you just relax and let it take whatever time it takes, viewing it as a long-term project, it's actually fun. The ability to tailor a pet's stats for your playstyle with little risk makes it a great way to build up a stable. Animals with packs, in particular, make great candidates for breeding.
