Tips for Making a Bloodline
When you create a new character and enter a world that houses your old character, you have a chance of selecting your character as a parent, even if that old character hasn’t had a child with anyone. It’ll state that the father is your old character and the mother is unknown.
Regarding your question: The child has to be fully grown and an adult. When you conceive a child, you will see a menu to add points to their stats, skills, and karma. When you then choose to make a new character, you will be able to select your child and play as them.
You are unable to manually choose your karma; it is randomized from the set of karma you currently have. You’re going to need 2 slots to alternate between.
Here are two methods for selective breeding.
First Method:
- Make your character a sect master, as their offspring gets a free 2,000 points.
- Have a child and wait for them to grow up.
- Leave all your belongings to your child in a chest somewhere (preferably blocked off from NPCs using screens).
- Create a new character with your child as the preset.
- Make your child join the sect and become a sect master using your old character (as they are the sect master).
- Find another female sect leader and have a child.
- Rinse and repeat until you have high base stats.
Secons (Easier) Method:
- Create 1×1 worlds and send your character there.
- Drop off their belongings.
- Create a new character with your old character selected as the parent.
- This method allows more customization as you’re able to choose karma and distribute points.
- Create a new character with the previous child as the parent.
- Rinse and repeat.
I would suggest using the jade seals (or whatever you get at the start of a new 1×1 world) to increase attribute points before creating a new child, as this should raise the base stats of the offspring. The jade items you get are based on how many tiles you have completed and unlocked.
UPD: You have to have the other character slots unlocked to select your first character as the parent, you can’t select your first character as the parent if they are returned to karma. For your character only the one parent you select affects stats but for any kids you have in game they get stats from you and the other parent.
