Pair Bonding

Pair Bonding
Posted 2021-06-02 08:51:24

I've looked through the other topics on this and never quite found the info I was searching for... Can someone help? I'm still a couple weeks out before I can do the pair bonding quest, but I would like to be prepared...

1. Is there a limit on how many pairs you can have?

2. Is there a waiting period between creating pairs?

3. What qualities must a wolf possess to make it eligible to be bonded? Just be an adult, or...?

4. Are any items or currency needed to create a bond?

5. Can pair bonds breed each other, or can they only adopt?

6. Are there any disadvantages to having pair bonds?


I think that's all for right now. Being new, I'm trying to stay within my means and not ruin myself financially while figuring out this game and exactly what I want, so I'm wanting to breed a few generations of wolves within my pack before investing in studs and lined wolves. If pair bonding is what I believe it to be, this will allow that without me risking inbreeding. 

Thank you to anyone who helps!

Let's see.

1. IIRC, there is no limit in how many pairs you can have but you can only breed a certain number of pairs each month and that number depends on your terriory size. So you can have, let's say, 100 pairs, but maybe you can only breed 3 of them each month. 

2. No, you can create the pairs right away. But if you broke a pair, the wolves go on a 30 days cooldown and they can't be in another pair until the cooldown is over.

3. Must be an adult and having been in your pack for 7 rollovers

4. No, you just have to go on the pair tab and create them.

5. Pairs can breed to each other (they exist exactly for that reason) and a female in a pair bond can still breed to your breeding male or an external stud. The advantage of being in a pair is that she can breed also to another male other than a stud/breeding male (and that is her partner). Wolves in a same sex pairs can't breed to each other (but females can breed to studs and breeding males)

6. Not that I know. You can pair bond all of your wolves if you want or none at all and nothing changes in terms of gameplay. The only one I can think of is that when one of the mates dies, the other one lose all of their mood (but you can raise it again with toys). By creating a pair bond you can adopt pups from the enclave and you get a bit more of freedom when breeding, since your female can breed to a male that is not a stud or breeding male.
