TOPIC | [OUTDATED] Breeding Rarity Comparisons
@blaireau - Haha, thanks! I originally tried to color the numbers in the second chart so they'd match which category they were in, but it was just too busy, sadly. And thanks again for the original chart & figuring out the pattern in the first place!

@Kiena No problemo. ^^ Anything to add to this guide, it's my favorite.

Finally got all tests done for Bar and Daub - up to 500 at minimum. Thanks to everyone for their patience. The data all matches up with what we figured out the first day - no surprises. I didn't ping those on the ping list because it seemed waaaay too late to do that, so sorry! I'll do better with the next new breed/gene. :)

Thanks for the hard work in compiling these!

@Finne - I'm glad it helped! :D Totally worth the work to have a version with the new genes. :)

And Crystal is out! Appears from my limited testing to be on the same tier as Iridescent, unsurprisingly. As it's 3:30 in the morning where I am, more tests won't be forthcoming until tomorrow. ;)

@Runo & @Twelvewishes - pinging you as requested! Not a lot of data yet, but I'll get to it tomorrow. :) Sorry I missed pinging you for Bar & Daub, I totally forgot. ^^;

I did a hundred runs with crystal vs. each other primary gene and

Crystal versus:
Basic: 99% basic, 1% crystal
Tiger: 99% tiger, 1% crystal
Speckle: 99% speckle, 1% crystal
Clown: 99% clown, 1% crystal
Ripple: 97% ripple, 3% crystal
Bar: 96% bar, 4% crystal
Iridescent: 54% iridescent, 46% crystal

That… doesn't seem right?

If it's so close to iri then shouldn't it be ~10% against the tiger/speckle/clown genes and ~15% against ripple/bar?

*squints at random generator* what are you doing.

eta it's only 200 more tests but i ran my iri/ripple breeding pair through the Scrying Workshop and the Nesting Grounds preview (in case Scrying is bugged) 100 times each and both came out…
98 ripple, 2 iri.

…what.

Crystal vs. all primary tiers:

Crystal:0
Basic:100


Crystal:0
Speckle:100


Crystal:1
Ripple:99


Crystal:36
Iridescent:64

...What? I thought it'd be Rare tier, given its rarity compared to the treasure genes, but vs. Iridescent, a Limited tier, it shouldn't be nearly that common.

*Looks at previous post* Uh, maybe they changed Iridescent to Rare tier? I'll test that in just a minute.

Edit:


Iridescent:1
Basic:99


Iridescent:1
Speckle:99


Iridescent:4
Ripple:96

Looks like they changed Iridescent. I'll check Shimmer to see if it changed as well, then Imperial to make sure the "Limited Tier" still is working as it should.

Edit 2:

Shimmer:0
Basic:100


Shimmer:1
Eye Spot:99


Shimmer:2
Seraph:98

Looks like Shimmer turned Rare, too.


...


Imperial:6
Mirror:94


Imperial:10
Spiral:90


Imperial:20
Skydancer:80


Imperial:98
Coatl:2

Imperial's acting normal, so it isn't a glitch with the Limited Tier.


...



Gembond:5
Basic:95


Gembond:5
Underbelly:95


Gembond:18
Crackle:82

And Gembond didn't change either. Looks like this was just to make Iridescent and Shimmer the same rarity as the other Gem traits.

@Before & @Straif - What the heck. I wonder if that's on purpose or an accident? Ugh, wish I hadn't done 1k tests against Iri last night, because it looks like they changed it since then.

Thank you both, I'm gonna do some additional tests too.

Edit: Shimmer has definitely changed, too.

Tiger vs Iri - 198/2 - 1% Iri
Stripes vs Shimmer - 195/5, 3% Shimmer

Second Edit: Crystal is still on the same tier as Iri, looks like:

Crystal vs Iri - 104/96 - 48% Iridescent

Final edit (probably): Put in a bug report here. Now we wait. ^^;

@kiena
Maybe this was done to make their chances like that of circuit? I guess they want all the gem genes on the same tier.
