== Notes Grooming ==* Grooming is a way to reduce the main activity which risk of disease in animals. It gives animal husbandry Animal Husbandry skill.

** Animals can have miscarriages which may kill the mother with no offspring spawned. StarvingStarvation, being off-deed, or being ona deed with an animal-to-tile ratio of 15 or less (see character > settlement > info to see current deed below 15 ratio ) are known as the reasons for miscarriages.** Tamed animals who are pregnant can lose the baby if they go offline when you do.** Neither animal should The creature ratio outside of deeds is always considered to be of same gender10 which means more miscarriage and disease.** 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]].

; {{event|inline|'''''animal'' is not doesn't seem to be in the moodright now'''}} : the male will not breed again for some time.the animal may be hungry - feeding the animal will put it back in a breeding mood if this is the case

=== Traits ===* 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 skil skill level affects the minimum and maximum number of traits that will appear in a horse. The maximum number of Bred animals can also have no traits.**Traits have point values which influence their chance to pass on and how many traits you can breed into one a bred animal is currently 8 recieves. **Players are capped at their animal husbandry level's worth of points for creatures they have bred (80AH= 80+ skillpoints of traits, for example).**At lower levels, breeding animals with traits Inbreeding will generally result in around AH skill/now cause the max point value to be divided by 1.5.**There is still a cap of 10 amount of traitsper creature (this does not include 0 point traits like ''bred in captivity''). i* Traits fall into several categories:**Speed: These traits will increase the speed of a creature when riding on them.eThese traits do not affect the speed of hitched animals. 5 **Draft: These traits + 5 traits with 30 AH will most often result in 3 increase a creature’s carry weight. They will also now act as speed traits for when hitched and give a speed bonus similar to having the new animal, however there is some level of RNG speed traits.**Combat: These traits increase how tough a creature can be and how well it is possible to obtain 4 can fight.**Negative: These traits all have negative effects that are generally unwanted.**Output: These traits increase results from butchering output, shearing, and 5 milking. **Miscellaneous: These traits don’t fit any other category. They may be positive or neutral traits from breeding .  ===Inspect Animal===*The ‘Inspect animal’ ability is gained at this level10 Animal Husbandry skill.* Animal husbandry Players can see information about if an animal is only partially hungry, breedable, and/or groomable.*Use ‘Inspect animal’ on the [[Curve]]bred creatures to see traits. The curved value (effective skill) allows **This displays all traits of a creature that you can see traits at that with your Animal Husbandry skill level (not true for bred in captivity trait which requires 60 numerical to see even on epic). But It also displays the actual value (numerical) is used for computing categories of the number of traits you can’t normally see. With higher skill, you’ll be able to see other details in the Inspect animal window, such as time until a creature can be bred again, time until a creature can breedbe groomed again, or whether a creature is hungry, or age of the creature.* Examining Players seem to be able to see when the animal is hungry, breedable, and groomable at an animal will show traits if one has the required skill AH levelbelow 50. See the chart below for skill values required in succesfully examining and actually seeing specific traits present in *At AH level 50, players can see if an animalis ready to shear wool and/or ready to milk and a more accurate pregnancy timer.

* <sup>1<references/sup> Traits are either unknown or unconfirmed.* ² Traits == Caring ==To prevent Venerable creatures from dying of old age they may be removed by casting [[Genesis]]''Cared for''.* ³ Genesis cast on animals with this trait The creature will cause it to slowly regain strength up to its original levelthen live indefinitely at the Venerable stage.* ⁴ [[Bless]]ing the animal with a [[Libila]] [[priest]] will create this trait, and blessing with a [[Vynora]], [[Fo]], or [[Magranon]] priest will remove it.

=== Inbreeding ===* Inbreeding occurs when an offspring is bred with either of its parents or a sibling. Inbreeding has an increased chance to pass bad traits if the parents have bad traits, but does not inherently create a bigger chance for bad traits in the offspring. Inbreeding may be unavoidable in small herds; it's advised to seek neighbours to begin a herd if one wishes to avoid inbreeding. * Inbreeding does ''To 'not'Care for'' occur past 1 generation. You can breed grandchildren of the same grandparents together with no inbreeding penalty. ** '''Important note:a creature, stand next to it, right click, and select ''Care for' if an animal's parent is dead, the parent's name will no longer show up on examining the creature. The game, however, still keeps track of who the parent was.

== Caring ==* To prolong venerable animals from dying of old age they may be cared for. To care for an animal stand next to it and right click, select When you start ''Care Caring for''. The life of the animal after the venerable stage will be indefinite.* If you start caring for that animal a creature this message will appear:

If the character is unable to ''Care for'' more creatures this message will appear:{{event|inline|You may not care for any more creatures right now. You are already caring for x creatures.}} The total number of creatures subject to ''Care for'' is limited primarily by the Animal husbandry skill of the character. * 1 creature may be ''Cared for'' plus 1 additional for every 10 points in the Animal husbandry skill.* 1 additional ''Care For'' slot may be purchased from the [[Loyalty program]] for 22,500 Marks ''(for a total adjusted Max of 12.)''* 1 additional ''Care For'' slot may be purchased from the [[Silver store]] '''To stop caring''' for a specific creature right click the creature and select ''Care for''. You can also stop caring for a specific creature by right clicking on your inventory or body, then ''Manage>Animals''. The chat command ''/stopcaring'' will stop the player from caring for all creatures. This message will appear:{{event|inline|You no longer care for the one creature you used to.}}  '''Non-Premium''' characters can only initiate ''Care for'' on 1 creature regardless of their Animal husbandry skill. If premium expires, the number of ''Cared for'' creatures remains static. ''Cared for'' creatures remain ''Cared for'' but the character may not change or initiate a new ''Care for'' until they re-premium.  '''NOTES'''  ''Care for'' does '''NOT''' prevent the creature from dying from any causes except old age. This includes deaths due to miscarriage, starvation, disease, or violence, whether from starving beasts, legendary creatures, or general combat, even if the creature is tamed. * Hostile creatures must be tamed first before they can be ''Cared for'' or branded.* The corpse of a ''Cared for'' creature can be hovered over with the mouse to see the creature's cause of death.* A list of all the creatures ''Cared for'' may be listed by using the command ''/caringfor'' ==Skills & Characteristics trained==See: * [[Nature]] > Animal husbandry* [[Soul]] > [[Soul strength]]* [[Soul]] > [[CharacteristicsSoul depth]]
