User blog:AimeePlaysMSM/Testing a breeding table

With the advent of the new Epic monsters, new breeding combinations have to be found.

From sitting in an active MSM Discord, as well as facebook comments, it appears that there is little directed attempt at this; many users trying combinations that are known to give an existing regular/rare monster or existing Seasonal (though who is to say Epics and Seasonals can't overlap?).

The breeding tree, breeding combinations per monster page, etc. aren't very well suited to trying to address this.

A cross-breeding table, on the other hand, is well suited to it but may not be very wiki-friendly due to wikia's limited screen real estate forced onto browser clients (overflow-x set hidden). The below is one attempt which tries to cram as much information in as possible without being entirely overwhelming. Notably missing are the rare breeding times (except for single elements as they are a special case anyway).

Another item of note is that this design, and overall patterns, are the same for each island, thus adding the colored backgrounds to make these patterns stand out. Epic monsters break from this pattern, however.

Breeding Tables concept

Shows all breeding combinations with possible results where not unstable. Breeding times for regular/enhanced are given for each combination in abbreviated form.
