🐣 Offspring & Incubation
Each animal has 4 types of baby animals that come from offspring. How it works:
- Get an Offspring Egg from a Legacy Animal
- Purchase an Incubator at the Pet Store
- Use Incuvite Potions: You need 5 potions per offspring. The potion type determines the offspring’s traits: tier, quality of drops, and how long it sticks around
- Hatch & Raise: Offspring vary in lifespan and drop quality. Once they reach maturity, they will eventually move on to their forever homes
- Placement: All animals can be placed on NFT lands or Specks (NFT lands offer higher placement limits)
🧪 Potion Table Updates
The Potion Table has been updated to support new crafting:
- New: Incuvite Potions: Start your craft with Salt, then add additional ingredients in hopes of crafting a high-tier potion.Incuvite Potions have 4 four tiers:BasicPrismAuroraBeast
