Main / Skills / Nature / Animal husbandry

Description

Animal husbandry allows for the production of new creatures, sometimes with increased quality, without the need to wait for new spawns.

Method

  • One of the two animals you wish to breed must be able to be led with a rope therefore some taming may be required. Once you have one of the two animals lead, ensure they are both well fed and move them close to one another. Right click on the animal you are not leading and select the Breed option.
  • Grooming now also gives animal husbandry skill gains. (Activate a grooming brush and select groom while clicking on livestock.)

Notes

  • Animals must be of the same species.
  • When breeding fails you will receive a message that the intercourse was interrupted.
  • Breeding may be attempted every 45 minutes after failure.
  • Animals do not have to be "fat" to breed.
  • When an animal is "no longer interested in food" they will be ready to begin breeding.
  • Age is not a factor in breeding.
  • Breeding increases a player's soul depth.
  • Pregnancy times can differ, from 5-11 wurm weeks, regardless of species.
  • Animals can have a miscarriage.

Traits

Bred animals have a chance of having traits.(Enhancement/Deformity)
Animals can have multiple traits.
Examining an animal will show traits, if one has the required skill level:

  • 20 skill: "It will fight fiercely." (High fighting skill?)
  • 21 skill: "It has fleeter movement than normal." (Minor speed boost)
  • 22 skill: "It is a tough bugger." (Takes more damage)
  • 23 skill: "It has a strong body." (Improved body strength?)
  • 24 skill: "It has lightning movement." (Major speed soost)
  • 25 skill: "It can carry more than average." (Speed boost when carrying a lot)
  • 26 skill: "It has very strong leg muscles." (Better at climbing slopes)
  • 27 skill: "It has keen senses." (Increased agro range)
  • 28 skill: "It has malformed hindlegs." (Minor speed penalty)
  • 29 skill: "The legs are of different length." (Major speed penalty)
  • 30 skill: "It seems overly aggressive." (Goes into frenzy when attacked)
  • 31 skill: "It looks very unmotivated." (Seldom uses speed boosts?)
  • 32 skill: "It is unusually strong willed." (Randomly stops following)
  • 33 skill: "It has some illness." (Usually unridable)
  • 34 skill: "It looks constantly hungry." (Slows after traveling long distances. Will eat twice as much as a normal horse?)
  • 39 skill: "It looks feeble and unhealthy." (Prone to disease)
