Ampelope Overview

How are Ampelopes different from other Afamiliars? --

Ampelopes can not be MMM'd, and can not scavenge. They can, however, be bred -- and they have a complex system of layered markings and "genetics" to play with! They can also have RRRs and some Scavenging/Shop items applied. (See #scavenging-overview for more info.) Naming an Ampelope can be done by pinging Ampelope Admin in #ampelope-orders.

Ampelopes currently have the following traits: -- Eye color, Horn/Hoof color, inner Ear color, 2 slots for Mutations, Base color, and 10 slots for Markings.

Colors -- Each color used on an Ampelope, for any trait or marking, comes from a precreated "palette" of colors called Bases. Colors used for the Base of each antelope come in Tiers I and II. Tier II bases are reserved for special methods of acquisition!

Mutations -- An Ampelope can have up to two Mutations, rare traits that usually supercede the Ampelope's other traits and colors.

Markings -- Ampelopes can have up to 10 Markings, which are in its Marking Slots. Markings can be any Base color, and in addition they can be any Opacity. Markings come in two types: Common, and Rare. Wild Ampelopes (those found while Scavenging), will sometimes have Rare markings. Rare markings can also sometimes be applied to an Ampelope with a Random Marking Applicator item. Rare markings will have an * at the end of them.

How to Get an Ampelope -- There are a few ways to acquire an Ampelope!

Wild Ampelopes: Rarely encountered while Scavenging. These Ampelope are randomized with 2-5 markings, & they can have Rare markings. There is a very rare chance for a Wild Ampelope to have a mutation.

Ampelures: Finding an Ampelure item while scavenging allows you to generate a random Gen 1 Ampelope. These are completely randomized with 2-5 Common markings. There is a rare chance for a Ampelure-generated Ampelope to have a mutation. Found while Scavenging, ping Ampelope Admin in #ampelope-orders to use.

Purchasing: A randomly-generated Gen 1 Ampelope with 2-5 Common markings can be purchased from BatCrooks. See the pinned information in #ampelope-orders to order.

Breeding: Breeding a Male and Female Ampelope will generate a new Ampelope! Use the pinned form in #ampelope-orders to order..
