Wanna know about both parents with ALL 4 TRAITS or Breeding for IVs? I got you! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpbWf4OVjrSretU

[@antinatree]

Hey if you find the true odds i may be able to use it. Linked is a spreadsheet i have that is assuming No trait and Random trait is equal rates and then child inheriting parent's rate is Double that rate and parents with both traits Quadruple normal rate. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tNs7P3drcJtQ9PbKDFxIhgWRoVmCwOPurlu7c8iq1Kc/edit?usp=sharing

[@Blit_Wizbok]

This is great info, and i have a question: let's say i WANT random mutations. Like i have a legendary and i want to get Ferocious or work slave on it. What kind of passive spread should i get that would give me the most mutations?

[@austinjohngaming]

@Blit_Wizbok Last night i bred 1x0 on Direwolf on a new save with friends. It took ~210 eggs for my desired mutations to appear (from only having one), breed down and to breed out bad traits for a perfect speed1,2,3,Ferocious Pal. That was enough extras to get two to 3-star and one to 4-star. I haven't compared 1x0 vs 1x1 but i know that 1x1 will create more random mutations than 2x2 or 3x3 By my findings about 25% more white traits appeared (This is a VERY isolated number that HAPPENS to fit the question but no EXACT test on this so MIGHT be accurate.)

[@MichaeLPeterSSClips]

Yes all 4 traits is what I've been wondering! Because all my breeding in my mind was once I got 1 with all 4 traits I wanted it seemed easier but I could be wrong and working harder for nothing 😂

[@Silonomono]

[@Tetragramix]

I hope they fix that pathing bug. My Pals just afk on top of ores and rocks and trees and even base structures like the statue of power. Resetting them or reloading the game does not fix it.

[@justsomemaninachickencostu9643]

For some reason, whenever I try to manually assign, my pal assigned to furnace keeps trying to be assigned to the cooler or advanced crafting station which was miles away even though it has none of the skills for it.

[@Blit_Wizbok]

palpedia has a "multiple breeder" where you put in what pals you have, and what pal you want, and it figures out the shortest route to get that pal. Much better than doing it manually

[@addillberry9603]

Thank you for sharing, genuinely. Been looking for exactly this tool.

[@austinjohngaming]

True, but that sadly doesn't help when selecting your pals to breed because you want to pass THOSE traits down.

[@ryko3698]

Thanks for sharing this, it's far better than the site I was using before.

[@tamar7065]

[@frostdracohardstyle]

Another tip from someone that has done a few thousand eggs, is trait isolation. if you have a tame with too many traits and only 1-2 you need to sort out, what you can do is use a one trait or no trait partner to isolate those traits in an offspring. This is how I isolate things like Legend and lucky off pals that would otherwise take a lot longer to breed to make future breeds easier. I have a tab for isolated work traits like concieted and work slave, which make it easier to produce perfect pairs.

[@austinjohngaming]

" a tab for isolated work traits " like a page in your Pal Box? Cuz if so. i spam the Sort button WAYYY too much for that in my life :(

[@omidsarwar931]

Oh nice. Thank you. Also dont forget to use the egg duplication (once it almost finished just drag the egg then drop it in a storage chest)

[@blacknyellow962]

Do you have any experience with combining ABCD pals? Meaning two pals with all desired traits. Is it still just faster to combine AB and CD pals?

[@neckbeardcat6777]

​@@austinjohngaming time to go back to the pokemon pc box experience. Can you name boxes in this game?

[@austinjohngaming]

@@neckbeardcat6777 no. and you can't swap them. but you CAN change wallpapers!!!! (not true)

[@SlopetheNar]

Just a tip to keep your pal box some what's organized build a viewing cage and put all you breeders in those you can transfer from your pal box whilst in your viewing cage makes it 10x easier to keep track of your breeding lines

[@Jonnadex]

Multiplayer doesn't have those

[@LittleLily_]

@@JonnadexIt does, just not the official servers. If you host your own you can use them.

[@ronsijm]

Also, build a viewing cage, fill it up with pals, destroy the cage, now you have a circle with balls on the floor. Build a new viewing page on top, and repeat. Now you don't run out of pal storage

[@xer0nin]

Please elaborate with more details 🙏🏻 ​@@ronsijm

[@tesladrew2608]

we are hosting our own and don't have viewing cages@@LittleLily_

[@grapesofhypocrisy9842]

You missed some stuff. The 2 and 2 makes it easier, but the mutations happen based off the same trait getting picked twice or a blank space being chosen. So when a pair breed, the egg gets a random roll of 1-4 traits from the parents, then it picks the traits... if a parent only has one trait but the roll selects 3 from the parent then the 2 blanks will have a chance to make a random mutation; also if the same trait is picked it also causes a mutation on the second pick. I learned this breeding 4 banger chickpi's that only had 2 passives I wanted from each the other passives where grey element attack defense junkers. After breeding like you did I saw the patterns more clearly.

[@FincorpEnterprises]

[@beemerwt4185]

Awesome. This confirms my thoughts about what actually gets passed down. Good to know the two/two is the best.

[@DivinePenguin00]

Good work. I've spent about 40 hours breeding different Pals and while I didn't come to the realization of the 2-trait parents, I did find a correlation between parents having LESS traits passing them down more easily than those having more. I bred identical Jetragons for everyone on my server. Speedy bois!

[@RaethFennec]

I have 120+ Jetragons banked. I should soon have a Legend Swift Runner Nimble. But... do I 4-star my speedwagon, or save them for a Legend Musclehead Burly Body Swift? The former seems like overkill, right? I already have a max speed rank 5 Galeclaw I just finished today.

[@hermesonaires7047]

Also, just to add: 4+x is by far the BEST I've seen. 4 in both gives me another 4 really fast... But, you may ask "I already have a 4 skills, why I want another?"... Well, first is the case you want multiples of base pals, like perfect worker Anubis, Mozzarinas and the likes. Second case is having a species with 4 skills you want in ANOTHER species. Just get that one 4 skilled and go all the way to your desired one breeding it with a pair that has, at least, one of the skills from the whole set. I've done this and ALL my mounts had Lucky/Swift/Runner/Nimble from a Beakon (by lvl 30) to a Astegon (lvl 47 saddle). Now I'll try to get Legendaries and see how effective it will be to pass Legend skill replacing the least effective on from the set (well, after I get Jetragon, fast mounts will be kinda dated, and I already have 10 perfect anubis, 3 mozzas and so on... so my only breeding left is combat pals. Wish me LUCK!!)

This video helps so much early if you are not worried about breeding legend into the pals traits helped me breed out the bad mutations

[@zabrac1566]

Love your videos and the amount of work you put into them! I don't know if you aware of the use for no trait pals. If so, you should have included it in this video or make another video testing / showcasing it. No trait pals (which can only be caught) can be used to help isolate traits or, in my experience, be a really good way to pass already perfect traits onto another Pal. For example, if you had a pal that has Lucky + Bad trait, you can breed it with a no trait pal until you get an offspring with just Lucky. Repeat that for all the traits you want and now you can always make breeding pairs easily by just combing isolated traits with isolated traits. The other use is that in my experience 2 + 2 is the best way to breed however close behind it is 4 + 0. So if you had say a Mossanda with 4 good traits you want and a Grizzbolt with no traits, you can easily breed a Mossanda Lux with good traits without having to catch and breed Grizzbolts for a compatible pairing.
