I'm not sure why they'd need to 'lockout' the gene since the bonuses don't have to all be on the same dragon to count.

I suppose I can see it being unfortunate for some that you can't get all of them on the same dragon but I don't think it's ever been expected that you exalt dragons with all three bonuses

Also, the bonuses have no effect on dominance iirc. It's JUST the amount of treasure you get from exalting said dragon.

Edit: I also just remembered that there are no Gaoler genes in the bonus lists. As in they're excluded from ever being bonuses. So there'd need to remove the Gaoler breed bonus to make it possible for the bonuses to always be applicable to one single dragon.

@Yserin [quote name="Yserin" date="2019-07-25 20:40:12" ] Which brings me to my next question. I have been assuming the exalt bonuses for color and gene are only bonus for the breed of the day. Instead of just a bonus in general. Is that assumption wrong? I assuming that the bonus's only counted for the breed that's up as bonus. Not in general. if The bonus counts separate from the breed then having the ancient genes in the rotation wouldn't be any dif then having the ancients in the rotation. It's still a case of you have it or you don't. But not having the ancient genes in the rotation takes away that option from gaoler only or gaoler majority lairs. It's an unfair restriction. [/quote] I couldn't tell if you figured it out or got an answer, but that assumption is incorrect. The bonuses are all independent, you get the bonus for anything with the colour, gene, and/or breed.

Because of the way gaoler's have genes called "pattern (gaoler)" and not just "pattern", yeah, the exalt bonus are not kind to the gaoler breed. You still have equal chance of getting the exalt bonus for breed and color, but no chance at getting that gene bonus. That's something at a suggestion could potentially fix. Have the parallel ancient and modern genes both count towards the same gene bonus. Things like gnarlhorn would still be excluded, but crystal would not.

It's an unfair restriction.[/quote] As it works right now, no... you don't need a dragon to match all three to get the bonuses. If the daily bonuses are: Color: Cyan secondary +2500 Gene: Cherub +1250 Breed: Bogsneak +1250 [center][morphology=1679][morphology=1702][morphology=1713] Each of these dragons matches exactly one bonus. [morphology=1717] AND THIS, the holy grail of daily exalts, gets a whopping +5000 bonus on exalting for hitting all three bonus categories.[/center] Your statement that it wouldn't be any different isn't quite right though. Right now, if there is a bonus for "python" gene, I can exalt a coatl with python, a bog with python, a fae with python... 14 of the current 15 breeds can be found with that gene. If the bonus is for "gnarlhorn", that's exactly 1 (one) breed that could potentially have that gene in my lair. The odds go down. Mono lairs have a bit of a disadvantage anyways because they can't get many breed bonuses, but they can at least get gene and color. I don't think it's fair to cater specifically to people who deliberately throtle themselves to a single breed that has specific genes by tossing breed specific genes in. Like said above, you can still get a bonus for cyan secondary no matter the breed. But a gnarlhorn bonus IS dependant on the breed - which may not be the daily bonus breed! If there are bonuses for cyan secondary, bog breed, and gnarlhorns, you can say goodbye to the holy grail! There's no way for you to match all three of those, you can at most match 2! (You did cross out the part about locking the breed to gaolers when there's a gaoler gene bonus, so I won't harp on that too much, but that's even worse at trying to match bonuses. You might have the breed... but not the gene. And if you don't have the gene, you definitely won't have the breed. So you can only exalt by color, which you did point out is super rare enough to be nonexistant, so not much fun those days.) [quote]For being a rare breed they have come up as the bonus dragon a couple times already.[/quote] Theoretically with 15 breeds, they should be showing up once every 15 days, or, twice a month. How long ago were they released? June 8? We should have seen them three times now if they fall exactly average. Averages are also really wonky in the beginning and tend to smooth out the longer you collect data, so I would give it a year of daily exalt bonuses before seeing if they're showing up too much or not enough. Also, I'm confused by what you mean "rarity"? They haven't been bred as much because nest cool downs. The longer they're on the site, the more of them there will be. It's kinda unfair to say they're more rare than breeds that have been makin' the baby for six years. And rarity as in their breeding cooldowns doesn't play into how often breeds come up in the bonuses afaik. Otherwise it would be all tundras, mirrors, guardians and fae all the time. [quote]So at this point I may as well go to the suggestion forum and maybe ask them to please add Gaoler genes since its not any more unfortunate to have them come up as a gene then having mostly gaolers and NEVER getting gaoler genes to come up.[/quote] I think actually the best would be to ask if staff could link ancient and parallel modern genes together so that both versions of the same gene work for the exalt bonuses. That way you're not hamstringing 14 breeds to benefit 1, you're bringing that 1 breed up to *almost* equal with the 14.
