Breeding and the Breeder job
Breeding crosses two fertile mounts to get a colour of the next generation. You do it anywhere, from the breeding window, with six paddocks per account and the Breeder job. It is optional: every generation can also be captured in the wild.

Breeding window and paddocks#
- 6 account paddocks
- 10 mounts per paddock
- Stable: 500 places
- Gains ×4
Open the breeding window with the D key or the interface's paddock icon, wherever you are. It holds the account stable and six paddocks shared by your characters, 10 mounts each. The paddocks open at Breeder levels 1, 40, 80, 120, 160 and 200. The old map paddocks are no longer used: they point to this window.
Machines and gauges#
Each paddock has six machines. Fill their gauges with fuel crafted by the Breeder: a gauge holds up to 200,000 points, and each fuel has a ceiling by its level (80,000, 140,000, 180,000 or 200,000). At most two machines run at once, never the Slapper with the Patter.
Every 10 seconds, an active machine burns 10 to 40 points depending on how full its gauge is, and every mount in the paddock gains 4 times what is burned, even while you are offline. So 5,000 fuel points take a characteristic of every mount in the paddock to 20,000, its maximum. Stamina, maturity and love only rise while the mount's serenity is in the right range.
- Serenity ranges from −5,000 to 5,000. Hardy doubles stamina gains, Precocious maturity, In Love love, Wise XP.
| Machine | Raises | Required serenity |
|---|---|---|
| Slapper | Serenity − | Always |
| Patter | Serenity + | Always |
| Lightning thrower | Stamina | −5,000 to −1 |
| Drinking trough | Maturity | −2,000 to 2,000 |
| Dragobutt | Love | 0 to 5,000 |
| Manger | Mount XP | Always |
Mate two mounts#
The target colour is always one generation above the higher parent. It has a 30% chance, plus 0.15% per level of both parents, plus 0 to 5% at random: two level-100 parents give 60 to 65%. Otherwise the baby takes the colour of one of its parents. A parent's Reproductive ability gives two babies.
Dragoturkeys and Rhineetles breed up to generation 10, Seemyools up to 8. Without a Kromakina, each baby rolls a birth ability: Reproductive 3%, Wise 6%, Precocious 8%, In Love 8%, Hardy 8%, none 67%.
- A mount is fertile at level 5 or higher, with at least 20,000 love, stamina and maturity, if it is not sterile.
- In the window, pick a fertile male and female of the same family, from the stable or the paddocks (not the equipped mount). Only some colour pairs have a result, which the window shows.
- The baby is born at once in the stable, at level 1, with every gauge at 0 and a rarity rolled at birth. Both parents become sterile.
Makinas#
Makinas are optional and are crafted per family and target generation. Add at most one of each kind to a mating; they are used up.
Seemyool makinas for generations 9 and 10 can no longer be crafted: Seemyools stop at generation 8. Ones already crafted work in no mating.
- Optimakina: +20% chance of getting the target colour.
- Kromakina: the baby is born Chameleon.
- Animakina: you choose the baby's sex.
Cloning and extraction#
- Cloning: two sterile mounts of the same family and generation give a single one, fertile again. The other disappears; the kept mount goes back to 0 love, stamina and maturity and loses its abilities.
- Extraction: a mount of generation 2 or higher is turned into resources of its family, more for high generations.
The Breeder job#
Every account has the Breeder job, up to level 200. It levels through captures, births and crafting. A generation-1 capture gives 995 XP, multiplied by its generation (×1.5 at generation 2, ×3 at 3, ×5 at 4, up to ×30 at 10): 400 generation-1 captures take you from level 1 to level 200. Each baby also gives XP, more for high generations.
Its 205 recipes (fuels, makinas, capture nets) are crafted at the two workshops of the Breeders' Village, with the Craft breeding equipment skill.
- The net stays in the capturer's inventory; Mount Taming is still required. The net is used up when its effect applies; the universal net adds nothing.
| Capture net | Breeder level | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Multiplier | 100 | The mount is captured twice. |
| Reinforced | 150 | Every mount of its family in the fight is captured. |
| Reinforced multiplier | 200 | Both effects. |
Génétons#
Each baby earns Génétons by its generation: 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 60, 120, 250 and 500 from generation 1 to generation 9, and 500 at generation 10. Eugène Éton, in the Breeders' Village, trades them for characteristic scrolls (Strength, Intelligence, Chance, Agility, Vitality, Wisdom).
| Scroll | Price |
|---|---|
| Small | 10 Génétons |
| Scroll | 25 Génétons |
| Big | 50 Génétons |
| Powerful | 80 Génétons |
