Why Breed?
Breeding pets allows you to create pets much stronger than freshly tamed ones. You can add to every stat, Str, HP, AR, etc.
When you breed pets, there are two things to keep in mind
- Pets gain ability points when they level up, allowing you to boost their stats
- Using these ability points correctly. If you start two pets fresh, don't boost the HP or identical resists on each; you won't gain maximum potential from each breed.
Formulas & Stats
The formula to calculate stats is (Mother + Father) / 2 = Baby. So a Female with 100 Str and a Male with 200 Str will produce a Baby with 150 Str.
The formula to calculate the level is (Mother + Father) /2 + [1, 2, 3] = Baby. For example, two level 30 Parents will make a level 31, 32 or 33 pet. A 26 and a 30 will make a level 29, 30, or 31 pet.
Freshly tamed pets will always be Generation 1 and be in the range of Levels 10-30.
When breeding, the Generation formula is Parent Generation +1. Two Gen 5 Parents make two Gen 6 Babies. A Gen 2 and a Gen 6 make a Gen 3 and a Gen 7. This one is independent of each Parent.
Rules of Breeding
In order to breed a pet, it must be Level 9 or higher, Level 42 or lower and Generation 9 or lower. Pets that are Generation 10 cannot breed. Anything Level 43 or higher cannot breed. A level 42 pet with a max level of 43 or higher can still breed, so pull your pet out of combat when it hits level 42.
Pets unlock stats as they gain levels, you can't add to stats until they hit the level mark.
| Stat | Level Available |
|---|---|
| Str/Int/Dex* | 40 |
| AR | 30 |
| Min/Max Dmg | 20 |
| Resists | 10 |
| HP/Stam/Mana | 2 |
Once you have leveled up/used all the ability points on your pet, head to the Breeders. You may want to hire a friend to help, especially if you have many things to breed (Max of 2 Breeds per Character per 12 hours), or something that is 3 slots. It's best to feed both pets before you try breeding.
If you succeed, each owner will receive a claim ticket that can be redeemed in 3 days. Both parents will have delays of 6 days before you can use them again. There are delay reduction deeds that reduce the breeding delay by 24 hours(available on gold vendor stone). To redeem claim tickets drop them onto the breeder.
How to Breed
The first thing you need to account for is what style of pet are you breeding. Pack Instinct or regular, magery/mana user or not, etc. This determines what stats you want to focus on. No matter what you are doing, HP and Resists are the best place to start. If you are doing something without Pack Instinct (aka, has 1000 Str), you may wish to do this as well.
When you are breeding, make sure you are putting points into different stats for the mother/father. If you have 150 Ability Points to dump into the mom/dad, go Str/Cold Resist on one, HP/Energy Resist on the other, or something similar. That way, when the baby comes out, it has higher Str, HP and Resists, instead of just HP. If you add JUST HP to BOTH parents, you get a baby with the same stats as both parents.
Breeding pets can be a long and arduous process. Most give up, there isn't much profit in the long run and it has a STEEP learning curve. Just remember to stay consistent in what stats you are trying to max, as well as splitting what stats the parents get. Plan your breeds and the next ones after if you can, keep them organized and make sure you get to Level 40 so you can add Str, if you need it.
Backbreeding
This is what you are aiming to do in the long run. Once you have gotten some pets up to 1k HP/full resists, you'll want to start breeding them with lower Generation pets. If you have semi-maxed Gen 6-8s, try backbreeding to 3-5s, then if you get any, to 1-3s, etc. This allows you to get closer to maxed stats, on lower Generation pets, with slightly higher levels. It allows you to breed pets quicker and keeps you from hitting the Gen 10/Level 43 gap.
