Dragon Breeding Instructions and Gene Information
Dragon Mainland’s breeding system and Marketplace are both open and operational. Many players have asked a lot of basic questions about the breeding process and how the genetic inheritance of offspring works. The following content provides a more detailed explanation of the basic breeding rules and genetic inheritance.
I. Basic information
● Serial number: The serial number is the sequential number of each dragon generated according to its birth order in relation to the whole Dragon population.
● Races: Water Dragon, Fire Dragon, Rock Dragon, Storm Dragon, Thunder Dragon
● Basic attributes: health, attack, defense, speed, life force.
● Genes: Each body part of a dragon has different corresponding genes. The genes are divided into dominant genes, recessive genes and sub-recessive genes.
● Dominant genes：They are the genes that the dragon shows on the outside, which is expressed as the dragon’s external image, attributes and carried skills.
● Recessive genes and sub-recessive genes: Genes that may be inherited to the offspring, which are not shown on the outside of the dragon.
● Parts: Dragon body + 6 body parts (horns, eyes, ears, wings, birthmark, tail).
● Horns, wings, birthmark and tail correspond to the 4 skills of dragon respectively.
● Skill level: Skills level growth is achieved by devouring dragons.
● Dragon skull absorption: This allows the ability to upgrade an attribute by absorbing dragon skulls
● Breeding times: Each dragon can breed 7 times. Note, that there is a rest period between breedings.
● Wallet address: This the blockchain location address to your personal wallet which holds your tokens and NFTs.
● Status：Dragons have many different statuses:
For sale: Dragons for sale can not participate in battles, breeding and raising.
Blocked: Dragons blocked by game manager can’t participate in any activities. No sales, battles, breedings or raising activities allowed.
Resting: Dragons at rest cannot participate in breeding, but other functions are not restricted
Normal: No restrictions when in the normal state.
● From: Marketplace, dragon breeding, instance capture of dragons (to be opened later), in-game AR dragon hunting capture (to be opened later)
II. Breeding rules
1. Breeding rules
● Any two normal status dragons are eligible to breed a new dragon through the breeding system
● The serial No. of each new dragon is related to the time it was born in chronological order.
2. Consumption required for breeding
Breeding requires the consumption of DMP and DMS. When two dragons have different breeding occurrences, the total consumption of DMS and DMP is their sum as reflected by their breeding occurrence as set forth in the table:
III. Genes and heredity
1. Genetic probabilities
Each dragon has dominant, recessive, and sub-recessive genes. Each with different chances of being passed on dominant 37.5% recessive 9.375% sub-recessive 3.125%.
2. Gene mutation
Classification: Gene mutations are classified into positive and negative mutations of dominant genes and common mutations of recessive genes
Features: mutated genes are not passed on to offspring, and mutated genes are not counted when inherited
● Negative mutations: Negative mutations cause -1 to the attribute value of each attribute inherited in that body part
● Positive mutations: Rare mutations and mysterious mutations.
Rare mutations cause a random +1 to the attribute value of the attribute inherited in that part.
Mysterious mutations cause +1 to the attribute value of each attribute inherited in that part.
3. Mutation probability
①Negative mutation.
When inbreeding occurs between dragons, the chance of negative mutation will increase.
● The probability of positive mutation for inbred dragons is 0
● When the two dragons involved in breeding are inbred, the closer the blood relationship is, the higher the chance of negative mutation
② Positive mutation.
● When two dragons are involved in breeding more often, the greater the chance of positive mutations in the dragons they breed.
③ Common mutation of recessive genes
A recessive gene has the probability of mutating into other genes in the gene list.
Common mutations in recessive genes will be passed on to the next generation.
IV. About race and battle power
1. The dragon’s race is inherited from the parents and will not be generated randomly. If the two dragons involved in breeding have the same race, the offspring’s race will be the same as the parents. If the two dragons involved in breeding have different races, each parent has a 50% chance to pass down its own race to the offspring.
2. A dragon’s battle power is related to the dragon’s attributes, skill level and talent level.
3. If you want to get a dragon with higher battle power score choose strong parent dragons to be involved in the breeding. The following points are very important：
● The race is the same for each parent
● The purity of the parents is as high as possible
● Make sure the parents are not inbreeding
The 10,000 Genesis dragons currently released by Dragon Mainland are all 100% purebreds. As more and more dragons are populate in the market, the overall purity will gradually decline towards 50% and high purity dragons will become a scarce resource. Please cherish every opportunity to breed.
