Bred Wyrms cost slightly more due to the extra work of having to chart the genetics of each Wyrm, as well as working with sometimes more complex combinations of Wyrm genes. The following are the current prices for each of the Wyrm Species. Please note that prices are subject to change depending on the cost of materials. Accepted payment types are: Paypal and Money Orders. If you don't have access to either of these payment methods, you should contact Shadra prior to making a purchase to see if a different payment method can be arranged. |

− | When a breeding season is approaching, Wyrm handlers should contact other handlers who have breed-able Wyrms to arrange Stud or Brood Wyrm agreements (See the tab for Stud/Brood Wyrms). Interested parties can also contact the handlers of Stud and Brood Wyrms they do not own and try to arrange a breeding to get an egg for themselves. Given that all Wyrms have a finite number of times they are able to be fertile, it's in a handlers best interest to plan their breedings carefully.

Once a handler has found an appropriate mate for their Wyrm, the handler must contact '''Cruinndrac Farms''', put in a breeding request, and pay the breeding/hatching fee. This is usually done by filling out a google document posted at the time of the season's announcement. Please do not contact us before the start of the breeding season.<br \><br \>At this time, '''Cruinndrac Farms''' will chart the genetics of both parent Wyrms, 'breed' the two together, and a new Wyrm will be hatched. The resulting offspring belongs to whomever pays the breeding fee, and will usually be hatched and shipped within one month of the breeding. Breeding season lasts for 1 week (7 days) and all breeding requests must be made within that time, or wait until the next breeding season. To ensure that all requests are legitimate, BOTH owners/handlers of the Wyrms involved in the breeding must confirm that they agree to the breeding. Wyrms must be Registered to be eligible to breed. To register your wyrm, please fill out the following form: [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEFlcFZha2J4NDQxMGtveTktLUg0R2c6MQ Registration Link]<br><br> |
'''Special cases:''' | '''Special cases:''' | ||
Line 551: | Line 551: | ||
* '''Clutchmates''' - In each breeding, both the Stud and Brood Wyrm owners can get a hatchling from the same pair. This only uses up one breeding for both parent Wyrms. The genetics of each hatchling will be determined separately. These will not be twins, but clutchmates and may have different colors and features. The owners may choose to have these Wyrms for themselves, or may choose to let someone else receive the clutchmate. Each person receiving a hatchling must pay a separate fee, however. | * '''Clutchmates''' - In each breeding, both the Stud and Brood Wyrm owners can get a hatchling from the same pair.

* '''Breeding "Up"''' - Normally, most Wyrms are bred to other Wyrms of their own Species (size). However, a Wyrm can be bred "up" one size. This means that one parent must be a larger Species of Wyrm and that the hatchling will also be the larger Species of Wyrm (with the higher cost). It is easier for us to produce larger, more detailed Wyrms than it is to transfer the details of a larger Wyrm to a smaller Species. Example: A Tea-cup Wyrm could bred up to a Standard. A Standard can be bred up to a Great Wyrm. (etc. etc.) Under some very special circumstances (Size Tokens, etc.) a Wyrm may be able to breed "up" more than one size, but this is quite rare. | * '''Breeding "Up"''' - Normally, most Wyrms are bred to other Wyrms of their own Species (size).

In the case of the 'Mutt' Mini Variety, the genetics will be somewhat random when they are bred (based on appearance), and the result of any breeding with a 'Mutt' Wyrm will be another another of the 'Mutt' variety in one of the current Species (Tea-cup or Standard). | + | * '''Minis and Mutts''' - Minis are a discontinued Species of Wyrm.

Some exceptions apply. (ie: royal offspring will always be minis to allow for extra room to sculpt details) <br><br> |
+ | |||
+ | '''Special Mechanics:''' | ||
+ | Some wyrms have special breeding rule(s) which are reviewed below. Please be aware of them when submitting requests for wyrm pairings. | ||
+ | * '''High Mountain Growlers'''- Matriarchal in nature, HiMo offspring who receive the trait "Tribal Markings" will generally default to the Clan of their mother. Hybrid offspring between HiMo and either lowland (regular) growlers OR a non-growler wyrm will generally not be accepted into the Clan regardless of if they inherit the trait. | ||
+ | * '''Baba Ygga/Baba Yaga'''- This ancient female HiMo growler is the high shamaness of the Two Sisters Clan. When paired with another HiMo there is a 1/4 chance that Baba will consume the offspring while still in its egg. With non-HiMo this is a 50/50 chance. These rolls will be made prior to billing. If there is no offpspring, the handler will not be billed. The other parent will be sufficiently traumatized by the event and will be unable/unwilling to try any breedings the next season. | ||
+ | * '''Sluagh'''- The darkest of the dark fae, the stuff even nightmares fear... When bred with fellow sluagh, purebred/hybrid offspring babies have a 100 percent chance of being hatched. When a sluagh is bred to any other type of wyrm the following rolls apply: 1/20 chance of success, 1/20 chance the non-sluagh parent has their magic consumed and is sterilized. All other rolls result in no offspring being born. Again, there will be no billing if there is no offspring. | ||
+ | * '''Blessings/Curses'''- Some wyrms are capable of altering the offspring of others via their magical influence. These must be approved by the wyrm's owner via an approval form sent in during an open breeding season. | ||

To determine the outcome, whoever is doing genetics will roll a four-sided die. The outcome it lands on is the one you get. The same sort of charting is done for the Yellow, and Blue genes. The end result of the charting and dice rolling is a new genetic code for the baby Wyrm. In the case of our two parents, the babies would have any of the following genetics (based on chance): |
* rRyybb (pink) | * rRyybb (pink) | ||

− | Usually | + | Usually it is as simple as asking the owner of another Wyrm if you can arrange a breeding with one of their Wyrms. For those with uncommon or rare types of Wyrms, however, the owner may wish to request a Stud or Brood Wyrm Fee to other handlers who wish to use their Wyrms. This is by no means required, and most people will be more than happy to arrange breedings with other Wyrm owners. Ideally, when there is a fee it should be minor. |
+ | |||
+ | It can be in the form of a small drawing, a story, some DA points, a couple of dollars, a token charge, etc. as long as you and the other handler agree is a fair trade for the use of your Wyrm. While we allow this as part of the game, we ask that handlers are not greedy. Please don't ask for unreasonable fees for the breeding of your Wyrms. Wyrm breeding is intended as a fun, interactive, and social game. It is not meant to be a method to rake your fellow handlers over the coals. Be nice to one another, have fun, and share the joy that getting a new Wyrm brings to every handler. | ||
