Full Guide to Breeders of the Nephelym (Updated to 0.747)

This is a complete guide (as in depth as I can get it with my knowledge) of the game, from getting started to tips and tricks. The guide was originally written for an older version, but should work fine for the newer ones (I will also be updating the information to correlate the new updates as they come out).

Preword

Note on the 0.747 Update: I do believe I've updated everything to include the new update. If I missed anything, be sure to yell at me!
Note 2: Sorry for being dead for so long, my grandmother died and I kinda just didn't feel like logging in. I'll hopefully have a bit more frequency and finish cleaning up the guide soon.

This is a two part guide- an introductory guide and an in-depth guide. If you're new to the game, you should read the introductory guide (or look at the Breeders of the Nephelym Wik[breedersofthenephelym.miraheze.org] ). If you've got the main gist of the game, go ahead and read into the in-depth guide.

Introductory Guide: Controls

First, we'll talk about controls. The game uses pretty standard controls, WASD for movement, shift for Sprint, space for jump. Q will let you go into spirit form, which I'll cover later. C will remove or put on all clothes. 1-4 will remove or put on certain clothes. I will bring up your character sheet. E will be used to interact with characters and objects.

Introductory Guide: Starting Off

When you start off, the first thing you'll want to do is talk to Falene, which is right in front of your house. She'll give you a pretty basic rundown of the place. Using the right options, you can have (oral) sex with her, though that'll reduce your lust. That's not a big deal, you can recover lust by sleeping or by succeeding a "surprise sex" event, but if your lust is depleted you can't instigate sexual activities. You can usually have sex twice before you're depleted, unless it's a surprise sex event which I'll get to later. I recommend you don't have sex with Falene, yet, but it really doesn't matter.

After you talk to Falene, turn right and move to the edge of the cliff. As you approach it, you should see a monument that looks like a gaped p*ssy with a snake person (lamia) standing beside it. Those are p*ssy portals, and are your fast travel points. Go talk to the lamia and tell her you want to traverse her p*ssy portal, she'll con you into sex in exchange. For more information on the fast travel system, please refer to the World section (incomplete as of right now).

Going back home, you might've seen a plant person (Fern). She "needs your fluids to grow". She will give you money in exchange, and after enough times will "evolve" into a bigger, more intelligent version. Again, I recommend you don't have sex with her yet, but if you're in a pinch for a little more money, she'll help. Directly in front of your house, you'll have a path that leads up a mountain into a town called the Hedon Township.

Introductory Guide: The Township

Go to the town, and keep following the road straight around the fountain until you see another p*ssy portal. Go activate it and now you can travel between your house and the town with ease! If I'm going to be honest, it isn't much quicker than jumping off the side of the mountain but it'll allow you to fast travel back home/town from other places too.

You might have noticed there is a cow (Amber-Mae) close to the center of the town. Shes the milk trader. You can buy, and sell, milk from/to her. You can also have a "sex" scene with her. To the right of her are a few arches. Going under that (which is a balcony we'll visit momentarily) will bring you face to face with a neko (Cassie). She'll sell you all of your barns, or the places you store you nepheylm in. Go ahead and buy the Vulwarg Kennel and the Foxen House. These two nepheylm are the closest to your house, and are good to start with. You can also have sex with her.

Leave that back area and go back to the fountain. Going to the right of the cow even more will bring you to a room with a set of stairs going down. This room houses a goblin, which is your ♥♥♥ Slinger (Camilla), aka the person you buys and sells semen. Same deal as with the cow. She also has a sex scene.

Leaving there and going to the left of the cow will eventually being you to a flight of stairs going up. Follow that around and you'll meet a siren (Romy). It'll probably be a while since you use her, but it's good to know she's there. She will bathe your dirty nepheylm, which are nepheylm that carry the "grungy" trait. This trait reduces the creatures allure stat, and can spread to other creatures during sex. Like all other blessed nepheylm in the game, she too has a sex scene.

Across the town, on the other side of the fountain, is a set of stairs leading into a hallway that has statues of large breasted women on either side, with blue fire braziers under them. Follow this hallway and you'll find an Angel (the Emissary) and a kitsune (Laylanna). The Kitsune is a priestess of this game's Goddess, and she'll grant you the ability to change into spirit form, which essentially lets you take on the form of a nepheylm rather than a human. It has no timer, it can last forever, and you can come out of it at anytime. However, you can only use it once before you have to refill your spirit bar, which you do by having sex with blessed nepheylm. You can only change into nepheylm of your gender that you have caught, though you're allowed to customize it. If you talk to her about it, she'll ask you to catch a Vulwarg (or maybe foxen) of your gender. If you're futa, this'll be dead easy. If you're male or female, it becomes a little harder since there is no homosexual surprise sex event.

The angel is also important, as it'll let you sell the nepheylm you've caught (a good way to get rid of bad traits and get Favor, a new currency you use to buy new sex positions). She also lets you buy trait upgrades, which increases the chance of more traits on offspring or caught nepheylm (I haven't confirmed this in the new update, but it probably still applies). She also has a sex scene.

Introductory Guide: First Catch

You've visited all the people in town and are now ready to capture your first nepheylm. Go back home and go left (while facing away from your house and toward the town). It's the road right beside the fenced in area with lots of hay (the breeding grounds). Follow this road and you'll eventually come across Lustwood. This is the spawning grounds for Vulwargs and Foxen. If you keep walking forward, you'll see a floating statue of a large breasted woman. This is the spawn statue. If you walk around there, you'll eventually have spawns. It should be pretty quick.

The large nepheylm are Vulwargs and the small ones are Foxen. As you walk around, you may have nepheylm run up to you and force you into a surprise sex event (if you're male this will be either a female or futa, if you're female this'll either be male or futa, if you're futa it can be all of the above). You beat the event by clicking rapidly. On the top right there are two bars, thats the climax gauge. The top one is the nepheylm and the bottom is you. By clicking, you reduce your climax gauge, though it may sporadically jump up. The goal is to let the nepheylm climax bar fill up without yours filling up. If it's bar fills up first, it climaxes, and you win. You can chose to keep it or Leave. For now, you can't be picky so go ahead and keep it.

You may have notice you lust bar has raised back up a little (if it was depleted). Now that you have some lust, you can now instigate the surprise sex event. Just walk up to one you like and press E. A menu will pop up. To the right hand side, there will be information of the nepheylm and a drop down arrow. Go ahead and open the drop down. This will give you much more information, like how much it's worth and more importantly, it's traits. Most of the nepheylm you'll get here will have only 2 or 3 icons. If you hover over them, it'll tell you what it means.
On the left hand side, you'll have two three options: give fluid, surprise sex, or seduce. You can give specific fluids (milk, semen) to nepheylm to instantly tame them, but you probably don't have any yet. Just click surprise sex and do the event. Seduce isn't coded in yet. If there is no option for surprise event, then you're likely trying to surprise a nepheylm of the same gender, which doesn't work.

Go ahead and capture as many as you want, though you don't need many. You can do this indefinitely as long as you don't lose the surprise event. Winning doesn't decrease your lust, so you can win forever. Once you've caught a few, go back home. You want at least one futa of each.

Introductory Guide: Expanding and Making Money

Once home, go to a barn and press E while on the blue circle. That'll bring up the barn menu. To the right is all of the nephylm in the barn and their information, to the left are actions to take. Go ahead and harvest the milk of the females and the semen of the males. Nepheylm usually produce more milk than semen, so I normally harvest semen from the futas. Harvesting fluids reduces your lust bar a little bit, but I believe if you use fern it costs less (not confirmed).

You've collected your first fluids! You can now sell these for more money, then use that money to buy more barns, then capture more nepheylm, harvest them, rinse and repeat.

That's the end of the simple guide.

In-Depth Guide: Characters

We'll start with Fern, as shes pretty useful. Fern will help around the homestead by harvesting fluids with you tell her to. She will also trade you money for your fluids. She will grow if you do this often enough. After feeding her 30 times, she'll go into phase 2. This gives her new animations and dialogue. If you feed her an additional 70 times, she will progress to phase 3. At This phase, she'll become immobile, and can no longer assist around the homestead. This results in different dialogue too.

Camilla is next. She can hold up to 10,000 mL of semen, whereas you can only hold 2,000. Her money refreshes everyday, as well as her stock. She will not buy from you if she is full on that particular semen. Seraphim semen sells the most, at a 4:1 ratio (4 orgasmium per mL).

Amber-Mae is the same way as Camilla, she can carry 10,000 mL vs your 4,000. Seraphim milk is one of the best sellers, at 3/mL, but bovaur (cow) milk also sells at 3/mL. The bovaur milk will likely be the first one you get, as the bovaur shed is 4,000 orgasmium cheaper than the Seraphim loft. Ashyire (female cows) are also very close to the homestead.

Cassie has a building for each race. Not much more to be said about that. She does have a barn, the mutt hut, that houses nepheylm that cannot be captured. These are hybrid nepheylm and they must be bred for. You cannot produce hybrids until you have the mutt hut.

Mirru is a kraken that you can meet on the shores. Currently, it seems as if she does nothing much, besides talk and sex, though that may change. Now she's integral to getting a pearl which you can use to trade for a keystone.

Pawsmaati is some strange breed that can be found in the Sultry Plateaus. She will trade favor for new sex positions.

Mega Slime is a blessed slime in the Hedon Township's Dungeon. She is one of the holders of the keystones, in particular of the Pleasure Pastures, an item needed to get to other parts of the world.

Kybele is a blessed centaur guarding the cockblock at the top of the stairs behind your house. She also holds a keystone for the Virgin Breaks.

Dragon Matriarch is a blessed dragon-taur that blocks one of the keystones, the one for Climax Peak, located at the back of Virgin Breaks. Unlike the other keystone holders, she cannot be engaged with sex until after you complete her quest.

Monarch is a blessed butterfly that holds the keystone for the Hivelands. He location varies, either being in pleasure pasture or in virgin breaks, depending on which you open first.

Queen Bee is a blessed bee that holds the keystone for the Sultry Plateau. She can be found in the Hivelands.

Autumn is a blessed Dryad found in Pleasure Pastures. She guards the keystone for the Cove of Rapture but is also integral for the Queen Bee quest.

Petra is a blessed Bunny found in the Sultry Plateau by the Sensual Sands cockblock. She guards the keystone for Lewd Desert.

Apopha Fesssi is a Blessed Lamia originally found at the entrance of Amorous Hollows. She blocks the Keystone for Amorous Hollows.

Widow is a blessed arachnid underneath the platforming section of Amorous Hollows. She holds the keystone to Moaning Crag.

Chieftain Xena is a Blessed Orc found in the highlands part of the Esoteric Glades. She holds the keystone to the lowlands part of the Esoteric Glades.

Yasmine is a Blessed Clam (and the only creature you can't have sex with, I do believe) found in the ocean. There is a dock by the Esoteric Glade in the Cove of Rapture, if you walk off the dock and swim straight ahead until you reach a ledge where the ocean floor drops, you should find her at the bottom. She holds the Beautiful Pearl which can be given to Mega Slime in exchange for her keystone (you can't give her the pearl after taking the stone).

In-depth Guide: World Part 1

You may notice that certain areas are now walled off. Since the last update, these walls, called Cockblocks, were added. They require Keystones to unlock, and each keystone is guarded by a blessed one. In the beginning of the game, you will have access only to Lustwood. There are two cockblocks you can get to from here: the Pleasure Pasture block and the Virgin breaks block. I will explain how to unlock those two first, but will eventually get to all of them. Keystones are universal- for example, the keystone you get from Kybele can be used for either pleasure pasture or virgin breaks. That said, I will put the Block I recommend you use for the keystone because if done incorrectly you can soft lock yourself.

Mega Slime (Pleasure Pasture)
There are two ways to get the keystone from the Mega Slime, though one is much easier. First, head into the township and have sex with Cassie. After that, you'll be able to ask her about the dungeon by the old temple, where she will promptly fix the lever you need to open it.
Next, walk past the milk merchant and up the stairs where Rommy is, but turn right on the arch. You'll see a very large lever at the end of the walk way. Activate it, then jump off the right side. Follow the wall to the back (in the direction of the temple) and you will see a door way. Follow it down until you meet the Mega Slime.
Option 1: Once meeting the slime, you can have sex with her twice. After that, she'll fall asleep, where you can just steal the keystone from her. She will become sad and you'll not be able to interact with her again. If you're okay with that, this is the easiest and quickest way.
Option 2: This is a much more tedious process, but it allows you to interact with the Mega Slime afterwards. Instead of going to the slime, go back to your house. Directly behind it is a staircase that leads to Virgin Peaks. There is a centaur there, Kybele, that you'll have to complete the quest of to pass. Do her quest, then use that keystone to access pleasure pastures. There is a ledge on the left side that opens up to a small plain with a butterfly woman in it. Talk to her, for she'll provide you the keystone for the Hivelands (Note, if you unlock Pleasure Pastures first, she'll be there not at the Virgin Peaks). Next, go to the Pastures again and find the Dryad sitting on a tree by the ♥♥♥♥♥ portal, and do her quest. She will get you access to Cove of Rapture. Lastly, go to the Cove of Rapture, have sex with Mirru, swim to the bottom of the sea to find a clam lady, Yasmine, and talk to her to get her Pearl. You can trade this pearl for the keystone that the Mega Slime has. Be warned, this will take quite a long time.

Kybele (Virgin Breaks/Pleasure Pasture)
The Virgin Breaks block is a bit tedious for a new player and will take some time, but subsequent breeding quests should be easier. First, go back to your house. Directly behind it is a staircase that leads to Virgin Peaks. There is a centaur there, Kybele, for whom you'll need to do a quest. She will ask you to breed her a level 4 Vulwarg with a specific trait. If you're playing as a male or futa, she'll want one with the Hung trait. If female, she'll want Boxum.
The hardest part will be finding a Hung/Buxom vulwarg. I recommend simply capturing every single Vulwarg you see. If you get one with the traits you need, then simply level it up. If not, harvest them for their fluids and sell it. Once you get 5000 orgasium, go the emissary to raise your trait level. The first level cost 500, then 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 and so on up to a max of 15,000 (level 30). Each level gives you a higher chance of finding traits, and level 5 should be enough to find one after 10-20 minutes. Of course, raising it higher will yield more traits. Once you get one with the trait simply level it up and go to the breeding request board to turn it in. Go talk to Kybele and she'll let you take the keystone.

Monarch (Hivelands Block)
In order to unlock the Hivelands, you must find Monarch, a blessed butterfly, that is located either in Pleasure Pastures or Virgin Breaks, which ever one you open first. She will ask for a level 5 Foxen with the swift trait after having sex with her. Much like with Virgin breaks, simply catch every foxen until you get one. This will be faster than the hung/buxom because its a much more common trait. Turn in the quest once you capture one.

Autumn (Cove of Rapture Block)
Once you unlock the Hivelands and Pleasure Pastures, travel to the Pastures and look for a person sitting on a tree near the ♥♥♥♥♥ portal. This is a Dryad, Autumn, who will demand a level 13 thriae with the hornball trait. At this point, you should have raised your trait level to at least 8, so this shouldn't be too difficult to find, but leveling them up will take some time. If she's asking for a futa, make the thriae a giver to another species, since they can only impregnate other thriae and the human. If she's asking for female, breed it with a vulwarg, since vulwargs can't impregnate thriae. Note, this doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

Dragon Matriarch (Climax Peak)
This one is pretty easy. Once at the Virgin Breaks, go straight to the back where you'll find the Dragon Matriarch. She only wants a three thousand mL of bovaur milk. Harvest the milk, turn it in at the quest board and you'll be able to grab the orb where she was resting.

Queen Bee (Sultry Plateau)
Once inside the Hivelands, find the Queen laying on her throne. She will ask for you to kneel and upon accepting, suck her breast. Afterwards, you can ask about the keystone, which she'll say she can only give to the person who restores the hivelands fertility. To do this, travel to Pleasure Pastures and talk to Autumn again, who will be able to help in your quest in exchange for 1000 mL of Dragon Semen. This is fairly easy, just buy the Dragon Hoard (3000) and harvest a bunch.

Petra (Sensual Sands)
After unlocking the Sultry Plateau, travel to the sensual sands cockblock. Once there, turn left and follow the path down to overlook the Cove. Petra will be there, and will ask for a level 11 Wyvern with the Nymphomaniac trait. If you haven't gotten your trait level to 30 yet, I would recommend you do that, as this is a fairly difficult trait to find. After unlocking Sensual Sands, you can talk to the Lamia by its portal. This will allow her to be found at all subsequent portals, and thus unlock fast travel.

Apopha Fesssi (Amorous Hollows)
After unlocking the Cove, walk out of the Pastures and you'll see a cave to the right. Follow it down where you'll see a lamia, Apopha, stuck in the wall. Apopha's quest requires you to bring a Titan with the Meaty trait. Unlike the other requests, this one doesn't ask for a particular level, but rather a particular stat- a strength of 25. Try to find one as close to 25 as you can (for me it was 21) and just breed them a few times.

Chieftain Xena (Lowland Esoteric Glade)
After unlocking the Cove, travel down to the beach and follow it all the way around. You'll find a plain full of Orcs, and at the very back is a raised structure where the Chieftain Xena sits. This one is the hardest quest to complete, in my opinion, as it requires an Akebeko with the fertile trait, a nephylm that can't be found. This will need a Foxen and a Bovaur to be breed, as well as the Mutt hut to store them in. Try to get both a foxen and a bovaur (or multiple if possible) with the Fertile or Divergent trait.

In-depth Guide: World Part 2

Widow (Moaning Crag)
Widow can be found in Amorous Hollows, in the platforming section immediately after entering. If you fall down into her webs, she'll engage in oral, after which you can talk to her. She'll reveal that she will give you the keystone if you get her an Elf with the Juicy trait. This requires you to unlock the lowland Esoteric Glade first.

TIPS
For leveling up, I recommend you look long and hard for a creature with the Kindhearted trait (gives x2 xp to partner at the cost of x0.5 to itself) to act as the breeder. If you can find a Sterile one with Kindhearted, even better (Sterile is a common byproduct of incest)! And, if you happen to find the "breedee" with the traits you need as well as Hedonistic, take that too (takes all the xp the partner would receive).

In-Depth Guide: Breeding

This next section covers what can have breeds can result in pregnancy and what breeds form hybrids. Just as a little note, the chart at the top of the breeding menu, beside position, tells you what sizes are compatible with that position. The top line is the receiver, from Tiny (T) to Massive (M). Ie, A dot on NN means a normal giver and a normal receiver has an animation for that position. SM means a small receiver and a massive giver has an animation for that position.
Also, receivers are always on the right side of the screen in the breeding menu and are female or futa. Givers are male or futa.

Foxen can be impregnated by foxen, bovaur, Vulwarg, demons, dragons, harpy, sylvan, thriae, Starfallen, Formurian, titan, Seraphim, and the Human breeder.

Vulwargs can be impregnated by vulwargs, dragons, and human breeder.

Bovaur can be impregnated by Foxen, Vulwarg, bovaur, demon, dragon, and human breeder.

Harpy can be impregnated by harpy and human breeder.

Breeding will increase the levels of your nephylm involved. Increased levels mean increased stats, and thus better offspring. The better offspring will sell better, or start a better next generation.

Certain traits you 100% want, like valuable or debauched; some are situational, like kindhearted; some are okay one way or another, like busty or hung; and some you 100% don't want, like grungy. Children are pretty likely to acquire some of their parents traits, and are like to gain several if you increase your trait level through the emissary. Breeding for traits is finicky. Sometimes you get what you want, other times you don't. When you don't, you just sell the failed offspring. When it does, smile! Just be sure not to inbreed (except in very particular cases).

You can sustain a farm in one of two ways. You can obtain a stock of decent breeders, breed them, and sell all the children (this is usually late game), or you can perpetually introduce new nepheylm by breeding and capturing, to ensure inbreeding doesn't become a problem.

In-Depth Guide: Traits

The traits are pretty good to know, and I use a shorthand for them that I use in naming conventions, so I'll briefly go over and organize them.

Traits that you 100% want:

• charmer (increases xp gain based on allure)
  
• debauched (20% chance to ignore inbreeding)
  
• fertile (20% more fertile per repeated attempt of breeding)
  
• hornball (lose 35% less lust while breeding)
  
• juicy (produces 50% more body fluids)
  
• meaty (increased xp gain based on strength)
  
• nurturing (offspring get 20% better stats)
  
• swift (increase xp gain based on dexterity)
  
• nymphomaniac (loyalty is increased twice as fast)
  
• stoic (increases lust by 20%)
  
• valuable (increases value by 35%)

Situational traits:

• sadistic (reduces partner loyalty but gain x2 xp)
  
• kindhearted (grants mates x2 xp, but gains only half itself)
  
• hedonistic (steals the xp that would've been given to the mate)
  
• and divergent (offspring may produce random trait)

Traits that don't matter one way or the other:

• chubby
  
• slender
  
• atypical (different height than normal)
  
• buxom
  
• busty
  
• gaudy (abnormal colors)
  
• hung
  
• slick (shiny skin)

Traits you never want:

• sterile
  
• abomination (reduced stats)
  
• grungy

The only exception to this guideline is Sterile. You only need one creature with sterile and it will never become anything decent in terms of level, so I didn't put it into situational. Sterile is a good way to level up your other creatures since they won't get pregnant (pregnant creatures can't receive sex for a few days). Sterile is most commonly acquired as a byproduct of inbreeding, which means it'll also get abomination, meaning it'll be a very low value creature. Because it's sterile, you can't breed the "abomination" trait out of it. I'm not certain if you can get Sterile from the Divergent trait.

I only shorthand important traits to use in naming. Those are: charmer (ch), debauched (de), divergent (Di), fertile (fe), hedonistic (he), hornball (ho), juicy (ju), kindhearted (kh), meaty (me), nurturing (Nu), nymphomaniac (Ny), sadistic (sa), stoic (St), Swift (sw), valuable (va). Anything with a bad trait, i label "sell", which I then (you guessed it) sell.

This section is less of a guide, and more of an example. When capturing nepheylm, you'll come to realize things can get confusing if everything is called "wild nepheylm". Thus I follow a naming convention for wild nepheylm to keep things tidy. The equation of that would be: Gender Traits colorRace Generation Offspring, which may look like: f Ho greenElf B3 2. Briefly, this means its a female green elf with the Hornball trait, and is the second offspring of the 3rd pair of the 4th generation (generation B) (I'll explain the generation tags below).
First, I put down it gender because I can't distinguish the colors well. Then, any important traits, finally the color and species. Another example: "f va kh me sw goldSera 01 4". That is a valuable, kindhearted, meaty, swift, gold seraphim and was the 4th wild seraphim I caught (which, btw, is absolute bs, there's no way you're getting all those traits on a gen 0).

Once I start breeding offspring to keep, I follow a generation convention. That looks something like this: species generationLetter RelationshipNumber NumberOfOffspring. This one looks scarier, but it's pretty easy. The generation letter is easy. It starts at 0 for wild nepheylm which then goes into letters, and perpetually goes forth into base 100 if I needed it to (I've yet to have to use numbers outside of gen 0).

Next, the relationship number indicates family number. Number of offspring is the number of the child. The first born would be 1, it's next sibling would be 2.

So let's say I have 4 families in generation A. That means 1 have "A1 1" through "A8 1". If "A1 1" and "A2 1" had two children, the first one would be labeled "B1 1" and the second one would be "B1 2". If "A3 1" and "A4 1" had 3 offspring as well, those would be "B2 1", "B2 2", and "B2 3". The B generation's offspring would be generation C, and so forth.
Once I start doing that, I pair the nepheylm for life. A1 will always breed with A2 and never with A3, for example. This potentially limits the amount of traits I can get per generation, but keeps everything clean.
Simplified, Generation 0 are wild nephelym. The first one I catch is 01, the second one is 02, so on. The children of 01 and 02 would be A1 x, where x is the order of siblings. Ie, the first child of 01 and 02 is A1 1, the next child is A1 2, the third child is A1 3. The children of 03 and 04 will make A2 x. They're still apart of generation A, but they're the second family of generation A. Again, the x represents the sibling count.
The children of A1 and A2 will create a new generation, generation B. The first child will be B1 1. The second would be B1 2. If I had a 3rd and 4th family of Generation A, A3 and A4, who had children their children would also be a part of generation B, but would be a part of family 2. In other words, A3 and A4 would make B2, as such:


Of course, you can increase the number of nephelym by introducing siblings. Don't breed sibling, inbreeding will create abominations. So don't mix A1 1 with A1 2, but you can mix A1 1 with A2 1 and A1 2 with A2 2. But in short, if you have 4 gen 0s and they each give birth to 2 children, you get 8 Gen As, which if they give birth to 2 children will result in 8 Gen Bs. Siblings will help prevent you from losing diversity, and keep in mind you don't always need to breed for siblings. Nothing wrong with keeping a respectably small farm full of extremely high level breeders. Example:

That about sums everything up. If I forgot something, made an error, or you've simply got a question, feel free to let me know and I'll do all I can to help. Even if that means spending another 4 hours researching into poorly or not at all documented mechanics again!

Then they are probably incompatible for offspring. Not all nephelym can interbreed. Keep trying different combos and check out the guides i posted previously

What do you do if you can't get your nephelym to have kids? They will mate but not impreg.

Minotaur x Titan. There are more up-to-date guides and charts if you google. This guide is, unfortunately, out of date since the latest build of BoN is 0.756.9. If you want more updated information, check out the discord or the Patreon. Assuming Steam will let me imma link both of those below.

how do you make a kujata?

[Azazel13]

How do you level up a trait through the breeding process though?

[FamusTemmie]

for the new minotaur(f) variant, use milk!

[Gottagopoop]

I see no way to fulfill any task even though it says select someone to fulfill the task. Any solution?

[Savathun's Stonks]

Alas I had the same issue. The game is still in development so hopefully it will be fixed.

An issue appears to be s3xing the slime at all prevents the pearl trade, something i figured way too late.

To my knowledge the stats are only relevant to certain traits that usually translate to earning experience faster. I have not tested this, but i would not be surprised that if you attempted to breed nephelym to increase a certain stat (say Str) it could lead to offspring developing the trait that makes them appear more muscular
