=== Base Breeding ===
The most important concept to remember when breeding bases together is that, with the exception of combo and special bases, a base's genetics is the only thing that affects breeding. Breeding bases together is not a matter of "this base x this base = that base". Rather, it's "these genetics + these genetics = those genetics". There are minor exceptions to this rule present while breeding Special and Combo bases which require a parent to have a specific base in order for the base to be passed down. However, outside of being able to pass itself, a Special or Combo base's genetics will still be the only contributing factor for what else is possible from the breeding.
Bases do not have "fail" colors like eyes do, since breeding outcomes are determined by the interaction of their genetics and not by the base color itself. Any result from breeding two bases together will be randomized from a pool generated based on the interaction between each parent's base genetics.
The pass rates of most base combinations is a mystery, never revealed by developers. Generally speaking, higher tier bases and Special bases are the most difficult bases to breed and have very low pass rates. There are some confirmed values that we can share detailed below.

Breeding two different Special bases together has the chance to fail to any color group and rarity, though the shades of the Special bases are taken into consideration when determining which bases can be produced. A Special base bred to a base of a different color group has the chance to either produce that Special base, or any base within the color group of the other parent. For example, a Special x Cool pairing will fail to Cool bases only.

<b>When breeding two Special bases together, there is a 5% chance that a pup will get a Special base</b>. If the parents have the same Special base, the pup has a 5% chance to get that same Special base. If the parents have different Special bases, the pup has a 5% chance to get either the mom’s base or the dad’s base.

=== Base Breeding ===
 
== Combo Bases ==
 
Combo bases are an extra-rare category of Special base which have very specific requirements to be bred. '''These bases must be bred using specific bases, called "factors"''', which combine to form the combo, similar to combo markings. They cannot be bred with similar genetics like regular bases can-they must be bred using factors!
 
 
You can tell if a base is a combo base by looking at its genetics on a wolf. So far, there are only four combo bases originating from the [[Lunar Event]]: Diaelum, Glownoise, Moonloss, and Selunia.
 
 
<center>[[File:basegeneticscombo.png|400px]]</center>
 
 
On top of having a very small chance of being bred, combo bases originating from the Lunar Event may only be bred at night. If you breed two factors together during any other time of day on Wolvden, a combo base will not be possible!
 
 
When being bred regularly, <b>combo bases use the same genetics rules as any other base</b>. For example, if a combo base is a Special Dark base, it will breed the same way as any other Special Dark base. However, <b>it may only pass itself if it is being bred to itself or one of its factor bases</b>. Below are some examples of combo base breedings.


The most important concept to remember when breeding bases together is that, with the exception of Special bases, a base's genetics is the only thing that affects breeding. Breeding bases together is not a matter of "this base x this base = that base". Rather, it's "these genetics + these genetics = those genetics". The only time an actual base is considered in breeding is when the base is Special, in which case it will only be able to pass itself and not other Special bases. However, if the base is not Special, it will pass other bases according to its genetics.


<table class="tableA">
<tr><th colspan=2>Examples of Combo Base Breedings</th></tr>
<tr><th>Factor Base + Factor Base</th><td>Typical results based on each parent's genetics, very small chance for combo base</td></tr>
<tr><th>Combo Base + Factor Base</th><td>Typical results based on each parent's genetics, very small chance for combo base</td></tr>
<tr><th>Combo Base + Non-Factor Base</th><td>Typical results based on each parent's genetics, NO chance for combo base</td></tr>
</table>


Bases do not have "fail" colors like eyes do, since breeding outcomes are determined by the interaction of their genetics and not by the base color itself.


You can learn more about combo bases on the designated [[Combo Bases]] page.

=== Breeding Bases with Matching Categories ===
=== Breeding Bases with Matching Categories ===


Breeding bases with matching categories, being the same color group, shade, and rarity, result in those specific bases having an additional 25% chance, on top of the chances presented with normal genetics, of passing directly to the pup. If the bases bred have the same color group and shade, but not the same rarity, the additional chance drops based on how far the rarities are apart. If the rarities are one step apart, the additional chance will be 5%, while if the rarities are two steps apart, the chance will be dropped to 0.5%.

Bases make up a large part of your wolf's appearance! This is the color of their fur underneath any markings, mutations, or decorations. There are many possible bases, each sorted into categories called genetics. These genetics determine how the bases interact with each other when breeding!
