Breeding

## Breeding a Spirit beast worth over 1 million shells!

Geezee here,

I'm currently a top five ranked Alioth player and I've been breeding a tone of Spirit Beasts that have been selling well in the market.

While I am associated with the game, Oath of Peak, I was not involved in the game's operations and development so a lot of what I state here may be wrong. Feel free to correct me in the comments if you have any suggestions!

First off: The basics

Spirit beasts are split into 2 types, Archspirits and normal spirits. Archspirits are the big boss monsters you fight and then capture. They tend to come at at least the blue rarity but if you're lucky you may get a purple.

Regular spirits are the smaller ones running all over the Omnispirit realm.

Intellegence (INT) is the key stat in determining the rarity of your Spirit Beasts:

* Red - 250+
* Orange 200-249
* Purple 140 - 199
* Blue 100-139
* Common - <99

Regarding breeding, there's 1st gen and 2nd gen Spirit Beasts.

Any Spirit Beast you catch in the wild is a 1st gen and it can breed once. 2nd gen Spirit Beasts will always have a higher Intellegence than its parents BUT they can not breed.

Basically your target is the Red (divine rank). Meaning you want to get Spirit Beasts with intellegence over 250. The INT of a 2nd gen is directly correlated with the INT of the 1st gen parents. The higher the INT of the first gen parents, the higher the INT of their offspring. So try to breed the highest INT possible Spirit Beasts together to maximize your chances of getting Spirits beasts to sell.

Breeding is done in Xuanyuan by talking to Hanrin, specific location can be seen in the image below:

Spirit Beasts can increase their intellegence through aggregation:

And there are some limitations here:

1st gen spirit beasts can only aggregate up Purple Rank and they will only ever go as high as 140 INT through aggregation.

2nd gen spirit beasts can go up to divine rank, however, 2nd gen Spirit Beasts can not be sold once their shape fruit is inflused. So if you are looking to create shape fruit to sell, then you shouldn't be using aggregation on 2nd Rank Spirit Beasts.

So how to go about it:

First off, you gotta go out and catch a bunch of Spirit Beasts. Doesn't really matter which one but try to stay within 1 genre so that you have a lot of males and females to work with.

Once you have enough, start aggregating your Spirit Beasts up to purple. You only want to breed purple Spirit Beasts because they have the highest chance of giving orange and red rank offspring. Remember, aggregation will cap your 1st gen Spirit Beast INT at 140. If you were lucky enough to catch a 1st gen with 160+ INT , try to breed it with another Spirit Beast with 160+ INT as well. I suggest trying to find a friend that has a high INT spirit beast to breed with to be more efficent.

Most of the Shape Fruit you get will likely be purple. Go ahead and infuse them and use them as aggregation food to power your character up.

However, if you get Shape Fruits that are Orange or Red. You can consider selling them. Orange Shape Fruit can go between 100k - 500k shells. Red Shape Fruit can go up to several million shells!

Some final tips

* I didn't go into Primordial Spirit Beasts but they essentially make it much easier to get red ranks and the 1st gens can breed multiple times. I personally bought a couple after converting some of my shells into USDT.
* There's a mode called Spirit Land where players will want high ranked normal Spirit Beasts (not arch spirits). This means there's still a lot of value to breeding normal Spirit Beasts instead of Arch Spirits.
* When cataching normal Spirits, look out for the swirling yellow thing, the Spirit Beast will be caught at a higher rank.

* you can also raise your chances of catching higher rank 1st gens by hunting in a party and completing the region exploration quests (in the map on the top right)
* The Normal Spirits at high ranks are incredibally hard to get, but they are still quite useful. If you manage breed a red rank normal Spirits, feel free to ping me on Discord. I'll offer around 800 pktk worth of shells for it (~$100 USDT). Or just sell it on the in-game market for that price, I'm pretty sure someone will buy it!
* This game is very focused on player interaction. You get rewarded for player interactions. So try to breed and hunt together, you'll find the bonuses quite rewarding overtime.
