Description
Animal husbandry allows for the production (breeding) of new creatures, sometimes with increased quality, without the need to wait for new spawns.
Method
- Both of the animals you wish to breed must be not hungry. One must be a male and the other one a female. Lead one of them with a rope (note that some animals must be tamed to be led) and move it close to the other one. Right-click on the animal you are not leading and select the "Breed" option.
- Grooming also gives animal husbandry skill gains. (Activate a grooming brush and select groom while right-clicking on a groomable creature.)
Notes
- Animals must be of the same species.
- When breeding fails you will receive a message that the intercourse was interrupted.
- Each animal may be attempted bred once every 45 minutes (important for males and in case of failure. Females will not breed while they are pregnant).
- Animals do not have to be "fat" to breed, only "no longer interested in food" (when trying to feed them). Grass eaters will typically be in this state after a minute or 2 on grass or crops.
- Age is not a factor in breeding (calves or foals will not breed though).
- Breeding increases a player's soul depth.
- Pregnancy times varies from 5-11 wurm weeks, regardless of species.
- Animals can have a miscarriage.
- If too hungry or low on fat animals can die when giving birth.
- Breeding animals with characteristics such as Champion will provide a chance that the offspring will also have that characteristic. This chance is dramatically increased when breeding two characteristics of the same type together. (Two Champions for example.)
- The same applies to Traits as well.
- Longer blood lines will support more traits. (For example: A 4th generation dog can have up to 6 or so traits where a 1st generation dog (the first offspring from wild dogs) usually only have 1-3 traits.)
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." (Withstands more damage)
- 23 skill: "It has a strong body." (Improved body strength?)
- 24 skill: "It has lightning movement." (Randomly increases speed for a short duration)
- 25 skill: "It can carry more than average." (Less penalty to speed due to high load)
- 26 skill: "It has very strong leg muscles." (Less penalty to speed due to slope?)
- 27 skill: "It has keen senses." (Increased agro range or possibly harder to tame?)
- 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 refuses to follow)
- 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)
- 40 skill: "It looks unusually strong and healthy." (Has a higher resistance to disease)
(All "?" are unconfirmed.)
