Ensuring Sustainable Horse Breeding Through a Dynamic Fee & Rarity System
Breeding in MetaHoof is a strategic investment balancing economic health, genetic integrity, and market engagement. Fees are determined by:
- Base Generation Fee
- Parent Rarity Multipliers
This model incentivizes thoughtful breeding while regulating supply and preserving rarity.
1️⃣ Base Breeding Fees by Generation
| Generation | Base Fee (USD) |
|---|---|
| G1 (Genesis) Mint | $20 (fixed) |
| G2 | $18 |
| G3 | $15 |
| G4+ | $13 |
2️⃣ Parent Rarity Multipliers
Each parent's rarity applies a multiplier to the base generation fee:
| Parent Rarity | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| Common | 1.0× |
| Rare | 1.1× |
| Legendary | 1.25× |
- Total Fee = Base Fee × (Multiplier of Parent A) × (Multiplier of Parent B)
Example
For breeding two Rare parents for G2:
Where:
- (B = 18) (Base Generation Fee for G2)
- (m_1 = 1.1) (Multiplier for Parent A)
- (m_2 = 1.1) (Multiplier for Parent B)
Therefore:
Resulting in a final breeding fee of $21.60.
3️⃣ Offspring Rarity Probabilities
Parent combinations determine offspring rarity probabilities:
| Parent Combination | Common (%) | Rare (%) | Legendary (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common + Common | 80 | 15 | 5 |
| Common + Rare | 70 | 20 | 10 |
| Common + Legendary | 60 | 25 | 15 |
| Rare + Rare | 50 | 30 | 20 |
| Rare + Legendary | 40 | 35 | 25 |
| Legendary + Legendary | 30 | 40 | 30 |
This probability model aligns breeding costs with genetic outcomes, encouraging strategic parent selection.
4️⃣ Strategic Benefits
- Supply Regulation: Higher fees for rarer parents curb over-breeding.
- Rarity Preservation: Probability model rewards combining rare lineages.
- Economic Incentives: Players weigh cost vs. potential offspring value.
- Market Dynamics: Diverse parent pairings stimulate marketplace activity.
Conclusion
MetaHoof’s updated breeding fee model leverages generation-based costs and parent rarity multipliers, underpinned by a probabilistic rarity table, to balance supply, preserve genetic integrity, and drive a dynamic breeding economy.
