Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) ...yeah, I meant Life. My bad, but still... Life and Light fall under the same category. Mana of creation: Life, water, earth, light Mana of change: Time, ice, magi, air Mana of destruction: Death, lightning, dark, fire And we do! They're strongly associated with a mana, as stated in each of their descriptions. Astrapi: Lightning Thalaasa: Water Mageia: Magi Chrono: Time Gaia: Life Pyro: Fire Also their names reflect that, I'm pretty sure all their names are the Greek names of their element. I looked up a few of them to confirm that, and of course Chrono, Gaia, and Pyro are obvious. The way to confirm this is probably to breed the Xenos outside their elements. So say, a Gaia with a Black Marrow (Death) would *hopefully* result in either a Pyro or a Astrapi, because both those are under the same category as Death.

Posted July 2, 2015 Maybe if the mates mana are of the same kind, they breed a Xwno, but if they're different, they go under the mother's breed (?) Idk, it would ruin some lineages and I haven't checked close enough to know it properly Share this post Link to post
Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) So a pairing gives one of three (?) things: 1) A Xeno egg of the same kind as the Xeno-parent 2) A Xeno egg of the Alignment of the non-Xeno parent (there are 2 Xenowyrms for each of 3 Alignments, so technically this outcome has 2 Xeno possibilities) 3) An egg of the same kind of the non-Xeno parent? Here are the Xeno alignments: Astrapi and Pyro are Destruction Gaia and Thalassa are Creation Chrono and Mageia are Change The elements of each alignment are in the Encyclopedia. edit just to say that this is what I've gathered but I could be waaay off, this is a lot of info to synthesize Edited July 2, 2015 by glamoursea2 Share this post Link to post
Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) The thing there are only 3 kinds of mana... So how do the 6 kinds work there? OK, let's go in a little deeper, I think I'm onto something. These are the elemental affinities of Xenowyrms (as listed in the adult descriptions): Astrapi = Lightning (element of destruction), Thalassa = Water (element of creation), Mageia = Magi (element of change), Chrono = Time (element of change), Gaia = Earth and Life (elements of creation), Pyro = Fire (element of destruction). If you breed a Xenowyrm with a dragon of a certain elemental affinity, you can probably get either the same xenowyrm egg or an egg that matches the elemental affinity of the other parent (my bet is on mothers). However, this is only a theory and it doesn't have to be correct. Also, bear in mind that Guardians of Nature don't always produce avatars - sometimes they produce regular eggs of dragons who are able to give avatars, so it all depends on how lucky you are. But wouldn't that mean that there are three varieties of Xeno you can't breed? There are three types of Mana but we have 6 types of Xeno. So how does it split? Three categories, but each of them has four elements, so that makes twelve different mana types. Anything can happen. Edited July 2, 2015 by *Silver Fox* Share this post Link to post

Well, but your theory (and mine, *sigh*) gives a problem with thise breeding test: male Chrono x female Blusang = Chrono Time is under different cathegory than Water... So how does it work?

Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) Man I really really really hope this is it. It's so exciting and so many cool possibilities to breed... Well, but your theory (and mine, *sigh*) gives a problem with thise breeding test: male Chrono x female Blusang = Chrono Time is under different cathegory than Water... So how does it work? But that's only one chance that it could result in, the baby could still take after either parent because it could a. not become a Xeno, or b. take after the Xeno parent's mana affiliation. So this still fits. Edited July 2, 2015 by silver_chan Share this post Link to post
Posted July 2, 2015 I really hate to disprove the theory but I snagged this from the other thread: Gold Dragons are aligned with Earth, Thalassa with Water, which both are creation. The result in this case was a Mageia, which is Change Share this post Link to post
Posted July 2, 2015 Also their names reflect that, I'm pretty sure all their names are the Greek names of their element. I looked up a few of them to confirm that, and of course Chrono, Gaia, and Pyro are obvious. Yes, and Thalassa was a sea goddess in greek mythology. Share this post Link to post

So this still fits. Yes, just like Guardians of Nature and Avatar breeding. @Ylvanne, you yourself recently bred a thunder to a GoN? And instead of an Avatar of Destruction, you got a thunder. There you have it, one possible scenario is similar to this. I really hate to disprove the theory but I snagged this from the other thread: Gold Dragons are aligned with Earth, Thalassa with Water, which both are creation. The result in this case was a Mageia, which is Change Boy, you do have a point there. But, what if the biomes had some influence as well? If it had been picked up from the Desert, that could make sense. Oh, boy, this is so hard. Edited July 2, 2015 by *Silver Fox* Share this post Link to post

If you say breed a male Astrapi, Lighting (destruction) with a female White, Light/Life (creation), you'll get one of these: - Astrapi, because it's one of the parent's breed. - White, because it's one of the mother's breed. - Gaia or Thalasa, because they belong to the mother's elemental affinity mana type. It's a bit confusing, but logical.

Posted July 2, 2015 Personally, I think its too soon to tell. But yes, I think it is related to the type of Mana. A good way to track it would be to list all of the types of non-parent Xeno gotten, and to pair them with the same breeds of non-Xenos. As for the element of the Xenos, their descriptions are pretty clear: Chronos are Time Astrapi are Lightning Thalassas are Water Mageia are Magi Pyros are Fire Gaia are Life The various magical elements: http://dragcave.net/dragonopedia/elements Cheers!

Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) Which Biome did that Gold dragon come from? Cheers! C4. THAT is a good question. However you'll have to ask Djengis on that one as it's her screenshot that she posted in the breeding-plans-thread Edit: ninja'd - however Volcano would suggest a Pyros - so obviously the biome is not the decisive factor Edited July 2, 2015 by Rubin Share this post Link to post

Posted July 2, 2015 Volcano, but that still doesn't seem to explain the results. Hmmm..... Golds are found in every Biome..... I think we need lots more results Cheers! C4. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 2, 2015 I'm currently egglocked, but two of my eggs will hatch soon and I have an adult female Gaia and an adult female Chronos. what do y'all think should I breed them to in order to test theories? I'm a bit confused about all the elemental/biome stuff, but give me suggestions and I'll be happy to test them and post the results here. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) I tried some Xenos with each other. Only egg I got so far was from Chrono (female - time mana = change) and Gaia (male - life mana = creation) and it got me a Gaia egg. Lineage At least they do look lovely together. Edited July 2, 2015 by _Dragoness_ Share this post Link to post
Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) OK, I decided to think for once in my life, and BAM! Nope. This is sooooooo confusing! You and me both. All I'm gonna say is, I'm glad the Xeno eggs are all pretty. It makes up for them being so complicated. edit If the biomes have a mana affiliation, I'd think Volcano = Destruction, and that doesn't help with the case of the Mysterious Mageia.

Posted July 2, 2015 Female Gaia + Male summer -> Gaia Female Chrono + Maale winter -> refuse Female Pyro + Male desipis -> Gaia Share this post Link to post
Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) For the elements game though, they were connected not just by change/creation/destruction but also in a second dimension - would the gold's offspring make sense if we allow for that? I remember (or at least I think I do) life, death and time were a group (green-edged). Edited July 2, 2015 by ObsessedWithCats Share this post Link to post
