Since I discovered my passion for
writing, SLE has been my home. Most of the subjects I usually cover are about
fashion and styling but this time I’ll grab the opportunity to write about
something different. Breedable animals in SL have made a breakthrough. They
have become a spare time activity and a
fun way to earn a living. The first kind of breedable I remember is the
amaretto horses but since then there have been several new kinds of breedable
animals discoveries in Second Life.
As I firstly mentioned horses,
let me present you the ABC horses. There are several things that make these
horses a bit different than any other breedable in Second Life. They look and
act a lot like real life horses do. When you first start breeding you get a
FREE starter pack, after you have registered to their database. Each horse will
live until it reaches 140 days, after that period of time they can be kept as a
pet, sent to heaven ranch for points or it can be shot.
Keep in mind that these pets do
not need food. Starter horses are more like tools, despite the fact that the
look like a horse, walk like a horse etc, they are just tools. Starter Horses
will be used to get information from the gene pool. The most amazing for me is
that there are no bundles, what you get is alive newborn foals, which they have
to stay near to their mother for a short period of time. Apart from the usual
traits (coats, manes, eyes or tails) there are others also, which can be passed
on too, such as speed. If you are not fancy of the breeding process don’t
worry, you can train your horse and teach different skills like pull, speed or
vitality and take part in racing competitions.
As for their food, coastal hay is
to be used for the horse’s basic needs, alfalfa is to be used for breeding, to
sustain a pregnant or a nursing mother and for training the pull skill. Feed is
to be used for training any other racing skill except pull.
There are also several consumables which will
give a boost to their stats.
ABC horses have built a really
strong market, they organize daily auctions in their own auction houses and
last but not least there are many places where you can buy or sell horses. More
info and pricing can be found here: http://www.awesomebreedcreations.com/index.html
Next I will cover zooby breedable
lemurs. Zooby takes the lead once again with this unique breedables. Start off
with buying your starter pack with everything you need to breed your lemurs.
Starters and newborns come in a den and they’ll stay like that until you wake
them up through their menu. They will start breeding once their hover text is
yellow and in full heat.
You can choose pet food or
breedable food. A lemur can be turned into a pet at any time except if they are
pregnant and again they can breed again with a simple click. Keep in mind that
it takes seven days until a pet lemur can breed again. Additional consumables
to boost stats can be purchased at zooby main store too.
When lemurs are rezzed on land
they randomly dig and they might discover glowing white stones which you can
click on in order to reveal what they
are. Glowing stones can be either gems or junk. Gems come in primary colors and
white, you can mix and match gems to play the lemur gem game.
The diamond gem is the most
valuable as it contains a special trait. Once assigned, this trait can be
passed on. Lemurs like any other breedable animal have a variety of traits in
their genetics. What fascinating about these animals is that they can be fully
customized to your taste as there's a huge variety of accessories to choose
from.
At any point you can send a lemur
or a den to the Sanctuary to receive Sanctuary points which can be redeemed for
lemur items at the store. It is a growing market and good investment as it is
the first of its kind. There are also many advertising groups and auctions! Details

I chose to conclude this article
with an animal that isn’t of this world for the fantasy lovers. Mossms are
little funny space creatures that have come to Earth in order to gather certain
resources that are in short supply on their planet. In order to mate they’ll
need to return in space but mossms have to work to pay their own expenses. Each
newborn mossm possesses general genetics from its parents and the planet they
were born on, but keep in mind space
exploration may cause genetic anomalies, which may result in a different and
unique breed. These animals are alive, they can recognize you and other avatars,
you are visible to them and they can interact with both avies and other mossms.
Mossms can’t mate with family
members, feature that I found to be very realistic. When born, mossms are given
scientific names are closely associated with their appearance. They work in different
environments earn resources, where they can earn resources. These can be
exchanged either for babies or used to buy additional environments. Starter
pack comes with a nursery environment and one or two adult environments. The
best aspect of this breeding game is that thanks to mossms advance technology,
what they can do inworld can be done on the web too. Forget land
restrictions!
Feeding your mossms is piece of
cake. The food is stored in your online account at mossms.com. Just rez the
food and that's it, the moment you rez the food your account will be credited
for the amount of food you bought. All of your Mossms share the food supply. Your
first two mossms don’t require any food at all.
Any additional mossms, including
those kept in inventory, will eat ten portions of food per day. If they are not
fed beware that they will abandon you and return to space.
As it is said before, the more
different a breedable animal is the most buying power it has. You can trade
your mossms online on their website or in different inworld locations.
If you are new to breedables in
Second Life, take your time and browse the variety . Find what will best suit
your time, budget and rp needs.
