One of the core, beloved features of most ARPGs, Dracovix included, is mashing two members of a closed species together to try your luck at getting some epic combinations of rare genes on your next character. This is also the primary way to get more dracovix into the game and into your collection! The dracovix pair being bred must be of opposite sexes, however there are ways in the game for you to get a litter with a pair of same-sex dracovixen. A dracovix's personal gender doesn't have any bearing on its sex and its ability to procreate with the opposite sex.
Rights to Breed
Proof of Self
Date
User Breeding Slot
All dracovix have a set number of breeding slots, starting at 5, and increasing after reaching certain titles. These are used up when a dracovix breeds, regardless of the result of the breeding, even if no viable kits are produced, and a dracovix needs one unused breeding slot to breed again.
Rights to Breed are the rights to use a dracovix's breeding slot. You can gain these breeding rights by owning the dracovix character being bred, or by owning the "slots", also known as "breeding slots," "breeding permissions," or "slot permissions" from another player's dracovix, given to you by the dracovix owner(s).
When you receive a slot to a starter through a monthly quest or event, your linked proof to the slot permission will be posted in that specific monthly quest or event journal's comment thread.
To give another player a breeding slot to a proven dracovix that you own, fill out the following Breeding Slot Permission Form and post it as a reply to the Breeding Slots comment found in the comments of your dracovix's import! The player who receives the slot will use the link to that comment as their proof of ownership of a slot to your dracovix.
You don't have to fill out the form for slots to your dracovix that you are using yourself. [example pic coming soon of the breeding slot form filled and commented in the import comments]
Slot goes to: @dAusername
Number given: Number of slots being given to this user
Trade permissions: Is the recipient allowed to resell, trade, or giveaway this slot?
Split Permissions: Is the recipient allowed to use this slot in a split breeding?
Inbreeding Allowed?: Is the recipient allowed to breed this dracovix to related dracovix using this slot?
Notes: Any extra information or personal rules. Additional rules here are a courtesy and not enforceable by the group.
Make sure the dracovix you're planning to breed together have completed their Proofs of Self! You can't breed your dracovix until its Proofs of Self have been approved by an admin, and its Proof of Self has been marked as completed on its import.
Don't you know you have to wine and dine them first!?
The third requirement you need is to draw or write the dracovix being bred going on a Date.
Date artwork needs to depict both dracovix being paired in the breeding and be at minimum, either A) full body, flat color or B) headshot, shaded.
Date literature needs to be 500 words and feature both dracovix courting each other.
Date entries can't double as quests, gathering, expeditions, capture art, or Proofs of Self for other dracovix. However, a Date can be used an infinite amount of times to allow the same depicted pairing to breed!
You can include other characters that are not being bred in the date with the pairing, but you must indicate in the description that the date artwork or literature is exclusively for the two dracovix who are being bred.
You can forgo the need for a date artwork by purchasing a TBD for TBD Dragonscales over at the Marketplace, but unlike the infinite breeding uses of a Date, this can only be used once for one breeding!
A User Breeding Slot, unlike a regular breeding slot permission for a dracovix to breed, represents how many times you as a player are allowed to submit a dracovix breeding in the game.
Every month starting on the 1st day, you have 3 User Breeding Slots.Â
Unused breeding slots do not carry over to the next month.
Any of your 3 User Breeding Slots may be used in Split Breedings, during which the player who posts the breeding will use up their User Breeding Slot, and the player who does not post the breeding, but takes part in the agreed split breeding, does not use up their User Breeding Slots.
A Split Breeding is when you and another user have agreed to share the kits of a breeding, depending on whatever circumstances you agreed on.
When you've picked your pairing, have all the requirements, and are ready to submit a breeding request, fill out the following form and comment it as a reply to [This Thread on dA], then sit tight as an admin will roll the results soon.
Parent 1 Import Link x Parent 2 Import Link (format it the same as the dracovix's import title eg. "23 DracovixName")
Parent 1 Slot Perm Link / Parent 2 Slot Perm Link (Either is unneeded if you own the dracovix)
Date: Link to Date entry
Bond Rank: 'Bond C, Bond B, Bond A, Bond S', 'None' if no bond rank
Litter Ownership: Split breeding details, Pick of the litter, or all going to you, etc.
Breeding Items: List any breeding items you're applying to this breeding as well as phantasms with breeding effects.
Is Inbreeding Present: Confirm Yes/No
Tags: Tag the owners of the dracovix you're pairing!
