Quintar Breeding

Any interaction with Quintar Breeding requires the ability to speak with Quintar - found in a dungeon in the Quintar Preserve and requiring a swimming Mount to access.

## Mechanics

Quintar can be caught by finding and defeating them in the wild.

* Trusty Blue (found just East of Yamagawa, NW of Dione Shrine, probably others)
* Trusty Red (found near Callisto shrine, among others)
* Woke River (Salmon Bay or near Triton Shrine)
* Brutish Desert (two nests, one NE and one NW of desert town)
* Woke Red (Cave SE of Dione Shrine, hidden in a cliff. Woke eggs are nearby.)

The basic idea is that you want to breed a new type of quintar with the Brutish nature (if they breed, keep that type and take partner's nature), breed that new type in a different nature, and repeat. You can only breed "happy" quintars, so give them berries to make them happy and whatever to feed them. If two happy quintars "don't feel like it", you need to win races on one or both. Cheese can reduce exhaustion.

There's only 8 slots for Quintar, and they can't mate if there's no empty slots, so some planning is needed.

### Type

Quintar can be different types, with different abilities:

* Red
	+ no ability
	+ Found in wild
* Blue
	+ no ability
	+ Found in wild
* Desert
	+ faster
	+ Found in wild
* River
	+ floats on water
	+ Found in wild
* Highland
	+ Jumps higher
	+ Red + Blue, one is Fancy
* Aqua
	+ swims
	+ Fancy Highland + River
* Black
	+ glides
	+ Fancy Desert + River
* Gold
	+ all (faster, swims, jumps higher, and glides)
	+ Black + Aqua

### Nature

Quintar have different personalities, which affect breeding/mating. Quintar will not generally mate with a Quintar with a matching personality.

* Fiendish
	+ Mate with anything
	+ Resulting Egg is same type and nature as Fiendish parent
* Brutish
	+ Fancy + Woke
	+ Egg is same Type as Brutish parent, Nature taken from other if possible.
	+ Overrides Fiendish parent’s type.
* Woke
	+ Fancy + Trusty
* Fancy
	+ Egg only
	+ Woke + Trusty
	+ Allows mutations
* Trusty
	+ Wild only
	+ (Red/blue only)

### Racing

Quintar racing is as much about finding shortcuts and sabotaging the competition as it is racing.

Here are a few methods for each race:

## Method 1

Thanks to SaitoHikari and Matra. (Editor note: Slightly outdated graph, you now only need 3 wins to breed the Black Quintar)

This requires catching 5 Quintar, and tries to keep the 4-win requirements minimal (Desert, Aqua, Black).

## Method 2

Taken from https://www.reddit.com/r/CrystalProject/comments/txw79o/quintar\_breeding\_guide/

The basic idea with this method is to want to breed a new type of quintar with the Brutish nature, breed that type with a different nature, and repeat.

You will need to four specific wild quintar eggs to start: Trusty Blue, Trusty Red, Woke River, and Brutish Desert.

Part 1:

Breed the Trusty Red with Woke River to get Fancy Red.

Breed Trusty Blue with Woke River to get Fancy Blue.

Breed Fancy Blue with Trusty Blue to get Woke Blue.

Breed Fancy Red with Woke Blue to get Brutish Highland.

Breed Brutish Highland with Fancy Red to get Fancy Highland.

Breed Fancy Highland with Woke River to get Brutish Aqua.

Breed Brutish Aqua with Woke River to get Woke Aqua.

Part 2:

Breed Brutish Desert with Fancy Red to get Fancy Desert.

Breed Fancy Desert with Woke River to get Brutish Black.

Breed Brutish Black with Fancy Red to get Fancy Black.
