# Turtle Sanctuary ### What is the Turtle Sanctuary? Turtles like to have their fun too (If you know what I mean). The turtle sanctuary is the breeding ground for turtles, and one of the ways for players to obtain more turtles. By breeding, players can breed a turtle that inherits traits from 1 parent turtle or even both! Inheritance is based on chance, and speaking of chance, there is a slight chance to breed a turtle with a hidden nature or hidden traits! Before 2 turtles are able to breed, there are a few things that are required: * X amount of DSC * 2 Ready-to-breed turtles * 1 Sacred Feather ### Turtle's Breed-ability Every turtle has a limited number of breeding chances, and with every breeding cycle, the breeding duration will increase. (Turtles get tired too). Each turtle, regardless of rarity tier, is able to breed for 7 cycles. The following is the breeding cooldown time after each cycle: * 1st cycle - 12 Hrs * 2nd cycle - 14 Hrs * 3rd cycle - 16 Hrs * 4th cycle - 18 Hrs * 5th cycle - 20 Hrs * 6th cycle - 22 Hrs * 7th cycle - 24 Hrs ### Breeding Probability These are the following interactions for breeding probability: Elemental Attribute: Offspring will only inherit 1 attribute from either parent at a 50% chance. 100% chance if both parents have the same attribute. Traits: Offspring will inherit 1 trait from either parent. Every turtle has an actual trait and a hidden trait. So during breeding, the offspring have a chance to inherit 1 of the 2 actual nature or 2 hidden nature. inheritance rate % to be confirmed. Turtle nature: Offspring will inherit 1 nature from either parent. Every turtle has an actual nature and a hidden nature. So during breeding, the offspring have a chance to inherit 1 of the 2 actual nature or 2 hidden nature. inheritance rate % to be confirmed. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
