Question about breeding (do parents levels earned after post tame matter?)

[Glew]

I've done a LOT of reading about breeding and there is some conflicting information floating around. I'm trying to learn whether or not Leveling a Dino before breeding it matters? For example if I tame two Raptors both being level 120, will there be a benefit to leveling them to 220 or so before breeding? Or will this have any effect? Thanks in advance.

no :) breeding will not be influenced by the points you spend in them (the stats which will be used for the breeding are the stats of the parents after they are tamed)

Thank you :)

Yes, leveling helps nothing. Tested and 100% sure about it :D
Like i know lvl 199 is the max what a baby can be (parents both lvl 120 and perfect taming +59lvls)

So, how can it be i hatched 3 180+ baby ptera's?

Babies have a 70% chance to inherit the better stat of the two parents. If you are pulling stats from two perfect tame parents, chances are you will get better than can be allocated to a 179 baby (thus making it higher level.) Best way I can describe it...hope that helps. We could go into a lengthy numerical analysis and probably even derive the algorithm if we took the time, but I kinda like it to be "mysterious."

What made me get a grasp on how it works is when i learned that level is determined by the stats that it ends up with , not the other way around.
So you can get higher or lower level then the parents just depends how many points the game calculates have been upped to get to it's current stats compared to a base level of that animal and translates that to a level.

I've been hatching Pteras to try to understand how the system works, and as others have said, leveling animals won't change their babies, it's all about their base stats and levels.

When mating 2x 110-120 level Pteras that have just been tamed (155 - 171) they'll get the same level eggs as mating 2x 110-120 level Pteras that have been leveled over 200.

This would make sense, the ptera's where 5th generation.

Funny fact btw ; if you tame an animal and something messes up the taming efficiency , for purpose of the offspring it allways counts as a perfect tame.
This makes offspring have a chance to have higher stats then any of the parents as the TE loss is not factored in.
So save those max level non perfect tames for breeding ;)

Lvls mean nothing. The stats are based off the parents pre-lvled (but after tame+efficency boost). You could breed a lvl 300 Ptera and it can have the same stats as 180.

Well, it seems that the stats determine the lvl and not the other way around... after breeding 7 generations and looking at the stats/lvls and "investigating" them. The lvl of the offspring seems to depend on it's stats instead of the other way around.

Nope.. the lvl of the parents when they mate determine the lvl of the hatchling.
