# Breeding Mechanics

## Overview

![Breeding formula](https://2033431810-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQ41zTNm6NFHjzw2rFHZe%2Fuploads%2FFb6MbO8OsPixLonIlfDR%2Fformula1.png?alt=media\&token=dcd37826-5228-4987-b99b-4bd6a0b56d87)

Breeding allows you to mint a [Gen 3](https://docs.monkeykingdom.io/wiki/introduction/monkey-legends-gen-3) instantaneously. All you need to do is to follow the magic equation above. But before you do that, make sure you read the following content!

### Breeding Availability

The first step is check on the breeding quota of your Gen 1 or 2. 

{% hint style="info" %}
This step is especially important for those who are keen on buying our Genesis Collection for breeding!
{% endhint %}

To check your **Gen 1** breeding quota, click [here](https://monkeykingdom.io/wukong).

To check your **Gen 2** breeding quota, click [here](https://monkeykingdom.io/baepe).

After arriving at the website, simply search for your NFT by its ID#. Specifically, you are looking for both Gen 1 and Gen 2s with *at least one* **available** breeding slot.

### Rarity Breeding

The second step is to understand how the rarity (skin) of your Gen 1 & 2s can affect your Gen 3s during the breeding process.&#x20;

![Gen 1 and 2 Skin Rarity](https://2033431810-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQ41zTNm6NFHjzw2rFHZe%2Fuploads%2FClooLbPMTHKZjEktSoXB%2Fbreeding.png?alt=media\&token=1ddb5bb4-7861-422a-bb44-99702428efa2)

A rare skin Gen 1 is defined as having a Zombie, Gold, or an Alien skin; Gen 2 as having a Pink, Gold, or White skin.

When you combine a rare skin Gen 1 or 2 with another Gen 1 or 2, you can directly affect the outcome of their offspring!

{% hint style="info" %}
Let's use some examples to illustrate:

\[Breeding Formula] Gen 1 + Gen 2 + Magic Peach = Gen 3&#x20;

\[Result 1] **Alien** Gen 1 + **Gold** Gen 2 + Magic Peach = **Alien White** Gen 3&#x20;

\[Result 2] **Zombie** Gen 1 + **Pink** Gen 2 + Magic Peach = **Zombie Pink** Gen 3&#x20;
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="https://2033431810-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQ41zTNm6NFHjzw2rFHZe%2Fuploads%2FIqUcSwPSqdM3fnYj9O38%2Fml496.png?alt=media&#x26;token=c4b58e0c-b0aa-440e-94fd-8b12b3916868" alt=""><figcaption><p>Gen 3 with Alien White skin</p></figcaption></figure>

How are all these combinations determined? Simply by following the [breeding table](#undefined) below.

#### Breeding Table

![Breeding table (Probabilities using normal Magic Peaches)](https://2033431810-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQ41zTNm6NFHjzw2rFHZe%2Fuploads%2F08Ct1Yi7J4Zo4cZRq1L0%2Fchart.png?alt=media\&token=d0fdd6f4-a6eb-4aca-b32d-29bd5645186b)

This breeding table illustrates the probabilities of your Gen 3's skin when using normal (pink) Magic Peaches to breed.

### Magic Peach

The final part of the breeding equation requires you to have a [Magic Peach NFT](https://magiceden.io/marketplace/magic_peaches_by_monkey_kingdom). This part of the equation affects the gender as well as the rarity of your Gen 3 so read carefully!

{% hint style="info" %}
The Magic Peach is a NFT that exists on Solana and should **not** be confused with [$PEACH](https://docs.monkeykingdom.io/wiki/introduction/peach) our native ecosystem token!
{% endhint %}

![normal Magic Peach](https://2033431810-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQ41zTNm6NFHjzw2rFHZe%2Fuploads%2FO1klk0pyvSCmcMzhDk49%2Fpeach.gif?alt=media\&token=2c48961a-851a-4ec7-a692-417ce08db90f) ![Golden Peach](https://2033431810-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQ41zTNm6NFHjzw2rFHZe%2Fuploads%2FIT9MXMgaOVOCfgLGYfJX%2Fpeach2.gif?alt=media\&token=6533e18f-b498-44f9-9d70-7c02d3fed558) ![Legendary Peach](https://2033431810-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQ41zTNm6NFHjzw2rFHZe%2Fuploads%2FcDbHAbz37fYRfBe9uiw8%2Fpeach3.gif?alt=media\&token=bb76721e-b1f2-43b8-bafb-3685be9c7190)

<table><thead><tr><th width="123" align="center"> </th><th align="center">Magic Peach</th><th align="center">Golden Peach</th><th align="center">Legendary Peach</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td align="center">Quantity</td><td align="center">4190</td><td align="center">441</td><td align="center">21</td></tr><tr><td align="center">Rarity</td><td align="center">90%</td><td align="center">9.5%</td><td align="center">0.5%</td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Gender

Each Magic Peach NFT has a trait of either '**Unity'** or '**Faith'**. If you use a peach with the trait '**Unity**' during breeding, you will breed a **male** Gen 3. Conversely if you use a peach with the trait '**Faith**', you will breed a **female** Gen 3.

#### Golden Peach Mechanic 1

When a **rare** skin parent breeds with a **normal** skin parent, a Golden Peach will improve the chances of breeding a rare skin Gen 3 by **20%**.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Let's use an example to illustrate:

According to the [breeding table](#breeding-table), when a **Zombie** skin Gen 1 breeds with a **Normal** skin Gen 2, the probability of having a Zombie skin Gen 3 using a normal Magic Peach is **50%**. A Golden Peach will increase this chance to **70%**.
{% endhint %}

#### Golden Peach Mechanic 2

When a Golden Peach is used when two **normal** skin parents breed OR when a **rare** skin parent breeds with a **normal** skin parent but fails to produce a rare skin offspring, the resultant Gen 3 will inherit a 'Glow' skin.

**Legendary Peach Mechanic**

A Legendary Peach will guarantee a 1/1 Legendary Gen 3, regardless of the parents' skin.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you are in possession of an ultra-rare Legendary Peach, you should simply use your normal skin monkeys to breed.
{% endhint %}

#### Bye Bye Peach

Finally, when a Magic Peach NFT is used for breeding, it is burnt.

#### Bringing It All Together

Now that you have understood all the mechanics behind breeding, it is time to see how the magic actually happens. Onwards to the [breeding machine](https://docs.monkeykingdom.io/wiki/holders-utilities-and-benefits/breeding/breeding-machine)!
