** Neither animal should be of same gender.** Both animals should be of the same species, except in the case of horses and donkeys. When breeding a female [[horse]] and male [[donkey]], the foal is a [[mule]].

* Bred animals have a chance of gaining traits, enhancements or deformitiessome positive, some negative, some neutral. Animals may have multiple traits, those can be as seen in the table below. All traits are put into the gene pool when breeding and those of the parents will increase the chance of the offspring having the same. Should both parents have the same trait the likelihood of the offspring gaining that trait is even higher. **The dominant category is picked from either the mother or the father randomly.**If neither parent has traits, all categories of traits receive a bonus to seed the initial traits.*The breeder's animal husbandry skill level affects the minimum and maximum number of traits that will appear in a horse. The maximum number of traits you can breed into one animal is currently 8 at 80+ skill. Bred animals can also have no traits.**At lower levels, breeding animals with Traits have point values which influence their chance to pass on and how many traits will generally result in around AH skill/10 amount a bred animal recieves. **Players are capped at their animal husbandry level's worth of points for creatures they have bred (80AH= 80 points of traits, for example). i**Inbreeding will now cause the max point value to be divided by 1.e5. 5 traits + 5 traits with 30 AH will most often result in 3 traits for the new animal, however there **There is some level still a cap of RNG and it is possible to obtain 4 and 5 10 traits from breeding at per creature (this leveldoes not include 0 point traits like ''bred in captivity'').* Animal husbandry is only partially on the Epic [[curve]]. The curved value (effective skill) allows you see traits at that level (not true for bred in captivity trait which requires 60 numerical to see even on epic). The actual value (numerical) is used for computing the number of traits you can breed.* Examining an animal will show Use ‘Inspect animal’ on bred creatures to see traits.**This displays all traits if one has the required of a creature that you can see with your Animal Husbandry skill level. See It also displays the chart below for categories of the traits you can’t normally see. With higher skill values required , you’ll be able to see other details in successfully examining the Inspect animal window, such as time until a creature can be bred again, time until a creature can be groomed again, or whether a creature is hungry, or age of the creature.* Traits fall into several categories:**Speed: These traits will increase the speed of a creature when riding on them. These traits do not affect the speed of hitched animals. **Draft: These traits will increase a creature’s carry weight. They will also now act as speed traits when hitched and actually seeing specific give a speed bonus similar to having the speed traits present in an animal.**Combat: These traits increase how tough a creature can be and how well it can fight.**Negative: These traits all have negative effects that are generally unwanted.**Output: These traits increase results from butchering output, shearing, and milking. **Miscellaneous: These traits don’t fit any other category. They may be positive or neutral traits.
