DIY Slots & Vouchers
Each customer gets 1 free DIY Nursery slot per month! The cooldown starts at the beginning of the month. If you'd like to do additional DIY breedings, and have already used your free slot for the month, you may purchase DIY Nursery Vouchers from the species shop.
If you're splitting a breeding with another community member, whoever posts the DIY form will have their slot or voucher consumed. This applies even when the artist is someone other than the poster.
Free DIY slots are not directly transferrable, but you are allowed to post someone else's breeding, consuming your slot for the month. In return, you are allowed to request currency or a kit from the breeding. This agreement may vary between community members, and may not consist of any payment.
If you're using a DIY Nursery Voucher, you must post on the bank/archive update thread.

Finding a Pair
Step one of any breeding is, of course, finding which two Storkverse characters you'd like to breed! These can be designs you own, or by someone else who has voluntarily offered them for a breeding. They may require splitting the litter or a small fee in return for use of their character.
Some community members may choose to "stud" their character. This means that in return for a fee, they will allow you to borrow their character for a breeding. This studding fee will vary between the community members and designs involved. Due to the random aspects of breeding, we discourage high studding fees.

Filling Out a Form
You can find the breeding form in this post. This should be filled out completely, using the information found in your characters' trackers. If you're not sure about what traits a character is able to pass, don't be afraid to ask!
If both parents share a passable trait, please make sure to bold it! This makes it easy for the staff members rolling your breeding to see which traits will pass at an increased rate. If a shared trait is not bolded, you might not get the shared trait bonus during rolling!
If you're using a character with Hybrid Magic as a parent, please make sure to include both parent magic types on your form. If they are not listed, your form will be rejected. For convenience, one parent magic type is passed per-litter, and is randomly selected during rolling.

Using Items
There's multiple items that can be used to influence breedings! These can guarantee a specific amount of kits, a mutation, heterochromia or that rare magic types or traits are passed.
Breeding items must be purchased before you attempt to use them in a breeding. To use an item in a breeding, list it on your breeding form. Once your breeding is accepted by an artist, make a post in the bank/archive update thread!

Rolling
Once you've posted your breeding form, you need to request it to be rolled in the Discord. Once requested, this process is handled by staff members, so you don't need to worry about it! Here's a quick guide of how this works:
- Number of kits is rolled for. In a 1 participant breeding, number of kits can range from 1 to 4. In a 2 participant breeding, number of kits is either 2 or 4.
- Spontaneous Mutations are rolled for. You have a 1% chance of each of the follow occurring: Chimerism, Albinism, Natural Tail Variation, Height Edit, Heterochromia
- (Optional) Hybrid Magic is rolled for in compatible pairings. You have a 3% chance of Hybrid Magic occurring.
- Magic is rolled for. Please consult below for passing rates.
- Inheritable traits are rolled for. Limited traits pass at a 20% rate, and Legendary traits pass at a 5% rate.
Magic Pass Rates
Which type of magic is more likely to pass varies widely, depending on the rarity of the parents' magic types. If you're using a character with Hybrid Magic, one parent magic type will be randomly selected to pass per-litter.
Basic x Basic - 50% Parent 1, 50% Parent 2
Basic x Rare - 60% Basic, 40% Rare
Basic x Limited - 75% Basic, 25% Limited
Basic x Legendary - 90% Basic, 10% Legendary
Rare x Rare - 50% Parent 1, 50% Parent 2
Rare x Limited - 70% Rare, 30% Limited
Rare x Legendary - 80% Rare, 20% Legendary

Designing Your DIY Kittens
- You may use your own art program and create your designs off-Oekaki. Find the base download here.
- You may the smaller lines, create a cover and use the full-size lines, or both.
- If you use the smaller lines, you still may not delete the full-size lines.
- You may only use the Traits and Magic that your breeding rolled.
- The cover must be named MNB#X-X, where the Xs are ID(s) of the kittens. To get your IDs, simply count up from the last litter in the nursery.
- You may design your kits at your discretion, as long as colors and themes relate in some way to at least one parent.
- Once your new Storkverse designs have been finished, link your breeding ticket and roll results on your kit cover. Next, post a link to your kit cover in the Discord for approval.
Getting Your DIY Kits Approved
Once you've completed your DIY litter, update your oekaki post, From there, head back to the main nursery thread and fill out the approval form! After that, copy the link to your approval request post and paste that into the Discord.
If you created your DIY litter off Oekaki, head to the off-Oekaki species hub and fill out the DIY nursery approval form. You'll need the link to where your breeding was rolled, and have your kit images hosted somewhere. Once you've made your post, copy the link to it and paste that in to the Discord!
Once you've done that, a staff member will either approve your DIY litter, or will ask you to make corrections to bring the designs in line with relevant species standards. If you're asked for revisions, don't worry! You're not in trouble, and your kittens can still be accepted once the corrections have been made.
