The Breeding Process

     • Buying from other players is usually more expensive, but you can choose the Moa’s characteristics
     • Breeding Moas is limited by your profession level. If you never bred before, you can only use :moa-tier: Tier 1 Moas
   • Or use Moas you already own

Step 2: Initiating Breeding

1. :f-key: Interact with your Moa stable

1. Select the male Moa

   2. Optional: Use Neststrings
3. Maturing phase: 36 hours
   1. Feed the Baby Moa to speed up growth in 4 hours
   2. Increase how much time you speed up by upgrading your passive Moa Breeding skills
