Breeding

Your pets train it: while one is out, Breeding takes a share of every XP you earn, and each level your pet gains pays more. Breed them in the pen on your island and hatch eggs in a hatchery; past 50 come a second pen slot, hybrids, Mythics and the Chimera. A breed can fail, in the pen or the hatchery: 50% at Breeding 1, falling to 10% at 99. A failed pairing gives both parents back; a failed egg is lost; the food is spent either way. Spare pets and eggs go to Nestor in the Yard for pet food and Breeding XP. Everything pets is in the Kennel (P).

Read the Breeding guide — how to actually get going with it, and what to watch out for.

How it trains

Your pets train you. While a pet is out, Breeding gets 2% of every XP you earn, in any skill, and each level your pet gains pays 75 × that level (25,000 more for an Elder).

Raises pay more as you climb: about a tenth when you start, the rest when you collect.
