In order to breed your pet, you'll need:
● At least 1 official pet.
● A Pet Breeding Voucher. These vouchers are obtainable through raffles and event sales. More ways to obtain one will be released in the future.
● The pet you want to be breed must be ready to breed.
● A good understanding of this guide!
Every standard pet is ready to breed from the moment you acquire them and it do not have a breeding cooldown. So what does "ready to breed" mean? Well, this only really affects a pet that was created from a breeding.
Clutch or litter babies will start as baby versions of their species! To age them up, they must be drawn 5 separate times. Once the art requirement is met, you can fill in the pet aging up form in #special-rewards-claim for the pet to be officially aged up! Adult clutch/litter offsprings will be redrawn on an adult version of their base.
To breed two pets together, they must:
● Be official pets!
● Cannot be related - Only affecting offspring pets, we will make sure that no inbreeding happens. Minty would never allow any unethical breeding methods ever happen. Unlike kel breedings, we will only track parents for simplicity's sake. We suggest keeping track of your pet's bloodline if you want to avoid further inbreeding. Disclaimer: Us not looking further does not mean we are okay with breeding methods like these.
When breeding your pets, you can breed two of your own or breed your pet with another member's pet (or one of Minty's studs)! The process is the same, but there's a few important points to keep in mind:
● Whoever posts the breeding submission will be using their slot/voucher and will have the first pick for a pet in the resulting offspring batch.
● Make sure your breeding partner is aware of and okay with this! The breeding partner will get second pick for a pet in the resulting offspring batch.
● Some members stud their pets out for free or for compensation. The terms and conditions of these breedings are up to that member. You must discuss and agree to that member's terms beforehand to avoid any issues with the resulting offspring batch. If you are found not adhering to the previously discussed terms you will be warned.
● All breedings are considered canon! While we do not force the offspring to have a relationship with their parents or clutchmates/littermates, make sure you are okay with that!
● Minty offers studs for you to breed with! While she has multiple of them, some have rarer traits and she requests a small fee for breeding with those rarer studs. Her fee is 2 Lumi Tokens/160 Points.
When you'll be ready to submit your breeding, you will need to fill up the breeding submission form in the #breeding-submission channel over on discord.
Here is a breakdown of the form
● Type of Breeding: Pet Breeding (Make sure the voucher is in your inventory)
● Mention the other member involved: If you are doing collaborative breeding with another member, make sure to mention their discord handle! This is so they gain automatic access to the thread!
● Link to the official pet masterlist: Link the involved pets masterlist reference!
● Minty's Pet Fee: [Optional] List your payment option if required.
Once you have filled the form, you must open a thread. If two members are involved, each must give their consent for the breeding in the thread. If doing the breeding by yourself or with one of Minty's studs, simply open the thread and wait for a mod's reply.
Once your breeding has gone through and you have received your breeding result, you'll have to face the tough decision, of which pet to choose.
Every clutch/litter will result in at least 2 offspring. The initiating member gets to have the first pick on which pet they want to keep! If there is another participating member, they get to have the second pick! Both members get to pick 1 free pet.
Here is some additional information:
● Rolling a clutch or litter takes more time than rolling an egg due to the multiple results and having to design said multiple results (all bred pets will be drawn on a base to save the mod's time and sanity).
● Once all participating members have had their first pick, any remaining pets will be added to Minty's Pick-a-Pal program! The participating members are allowed to purchase these pets.
● The pets will be added to the masterlist once the first picks have been taken. This, however, does not mean the other offspring will be added straight into pick-a-pal.
What pets can I breed?
As of now, only Jimmy breedings are available. However, Gemalkin breedings should release in early 2024.
How are the colours for the offspring picked?
The colours are picked from the parents' full palettes (as in, the colour palette listed in the description, not the visual one)! This means that a pet might visually only have a colour or two, but the offspring can be an entirely different colour pulling from the same palette as the parent!
Can I see what the full colour palettes look like?
The full colour palettes are not available for the public to see. However, you can get a taste of what the other colours are like by looking at other pets that share the same palette!
Who makes the offspring designs? Will the offspring look like their parents?
The mod in charge of your breeding submission does! And no, the offsprings do not have to look like their parents and can have completely different designs.
What if I want to get more than one pet from the breeding?
You'll have to purchase the extra pets from the Pick-a-Pal program! Breeding participants only get 1 free pet.
What if I don't want or like any of the pets from the breeding?
While unfortunate, there is no way to reroll a pet breeding. You do not have to keep a pet from the breeding you participate in. This means that all pets will be added to the Pick-a-Pal program.
I bred my pet with a friend's and they left the group, can I get their pet result?
Unless you can get your friend in contact with us to confirm the trading/gifting of the pet to your account, no.
Can same-sex pets breed?
Pets do not get assigned a sex so any pet can breed with another member of its species!
How are "non-canon" breedings viewed in the group?
Mechanically, all breedings are canon.
However, you can write your stories how you want!
Someone else made art of my baby pet, does it count for their growing up art pieces?
As long as the art is posted to the owner of the pet's account, this is fine. By transfering a baby pet, baby pet's images will be reset and the new owner will have to do 5 images. We highly suggest aging up a baby pet before trading it if wanted.
Do we get a Pick-A-Pal Ping for when bred pets are added?
There will be no pings for when bred pets get added to the Pick-A-Pal.
