Main / Skills / Nature / Animal breeding

Description

Animal breeding 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 breeding 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.

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."
  • 23 skill: "It has a strong body."
  • 24 skill: "It has lightning movement." (Major Speed Boost)
  • 25 skill: "It can carry more than average." (Speed Boost When Carrying Alot)
  • 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." (Agressive fighting stance?)
  • 31 skill: "It looks very unmotivated."
