Description
Animal husbandry allows for the production (breeding) 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 (except calves and foals).
- 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)
- 40 skill: "It looks unusually strong and healthy." (Has a higher resistance to disease)
(All "?" are unconfirmed.)
