Breeding System [Phase 1]
First let me state this, anything you have heard or think you know is only a rumor and therefore wrong. Even as I stated about LifeCycles, that was merely the first attempt at something that would be subject to change and the only reason it was going in was we were fixing other bugs in the same file. Now, tons of people have been using several different exploits in breeding please do not scream it wasn't me we do not care at this point. My sole focus is cleaning up the junk and creating a fair usable breeding system. I do not expect it to be perfect, I am still going through the vast number of possible combinations looking for flaws (and find some) but as I find them I will be updating the system.
Breeding System:
The over all method of breeding has not changed much, you take a male and female pet of the same type and stand next to a animal trainer. Every pet in the game has a limited number of times it can breed, each time it is breed this number will decrease until the pet can no longer be breed. Each time a pet is breed the babies will increase in generation by 1 up to a maximum of 10.
Qualifiers
1. Pets must be raised the max level before they can breed.
2. Pets must be a male and female and both must have at least 1 breed left
3. Cannot be donation, crafted, evolved pets.
LifeCycle
This is nothing more then a counter as the pet goes through different phases of life. Pets will get some bonus ability points and restore points when younger. The primary purpose of this is to determine the chance of stat loss upon death and the degree of stat loss inflicted upon the pet. Pets now are limited in the number of restore potions they can take before they lose effectiveness.
Pet Levels:
Pets may be found in the wild a levels 10-30, all donation pets start at level 30. If you wish your pet to increase from 31-40 you will either need to breed them or use +1 pet level deeds. If you wish your pet to increase from increase from 41-50 then you will need to use +1 level deeds. Your pet may breed at anytime during this process as long as the current level of the pet is the same as the max level of the pet.

Coming Up
This will deal with the other half of the restore systems, items that can effect the values within the breeding system and method of finding some things in game.
