Hello there, first time on the forum!

Have a couple of questions about pet breeding (fairly new player, I am at gen 4 for the first time with Bake):
1) It seems to me that the skills wrestling etc. do not improve over generations, i.e. you breed two parents with 100 wresting, the baby is born with 50ish
2) Same goes for the Armor, even if the parents start with 70/70, the babies have consistently 0/70
3) The max level of the pets sometimes jumps, like from two parents lvl 32/32 in gen 3 I had two babies max lvl 35 ! Thats not nice I guess because, if the pets become sterile at lvl max 41, it means I will not hit 41 at gen 10 but before; meaning I have 'lost' some points... or is this wrong and the skill points are already too many before gen 10?

Thanks a lot!!! This is a great shard !!!

I will try to answer all your questions, please feel free to fix me anyone 

1)Skill levels do not follow as you breed through generations, right. So, if you breed 2 pets with 120 wrestling for example, babies will have a cap of 100. There is a few exception in this though.. Like ancient fire steeds, they can have any skill (except anatomy) from 120 to 200, naturally. (I even saw an ancient fire steed with 200.0 meditation for example)

2)Armor rating doesn't follow too, you shouldn't increase it before having a maxxed out pet. (Remember, you can increase armor rating by paying with ed, 1 armor rating=1ed)

3)Max level for babies have a calculation, including a random amount as well. It works like that as I know: (Parent 1's max level + Parent 2's max level) / 2 +1 or +2 or +3. So, if you breed a 30 max level pet with a 20 max level pet, babies will have 25 +1 or +2 or +3 random (26, 27 or 28). And it will be the same for both of the babies. Since they get sterile immediately when you take them up to 41, there is a limit of 40 max levels while breeding, that means if you breed 2 parents with 40 max levels, you will get 40 max level babies again (to give you a chance to get babies with breeds and continue breeding them).

You can always send me a PM through forums or ingame, I will do my best. Good luck 

thanks a lot!

Any other stat/skill I shouldnt max now because dont follow parents ?

So, you can't get 41+ level pets by breeding two 40 level pets? So, the best strategy for breeding is to get generation 1 mom and dad up to 40 so all subsequent generations will all have 40 max levels without fear of hitting 41 (and thus sterility)?

Exactly.. Having high breed count + good DNA parents at gen 1 and taking them up to 40 levels by pet level deeds can be done. This will let you reach max stats in all earlier, so you will be able to claim more maxxed babies, till you get all sterile or reach gen 10.

P.S. So many people say getting high breed count babies determined by your skill levels and also your luck. Parents' DNA do not take a role in it as I know.

Thanks for the great info! I've got two AFS gen 1s with 29 and 27 max levels and 4 and 1 breeds, respectively. I'm currently trying to level them up and determining the best strategy for breeding.
