https://www.sylestia.com/view/pets/?petid=7036890 Carried
https://www.sylestia.com/view/pets/?petid=7053586 Visible
https://www.sylestia.com/view/pets/?petid=7053584 Nonthing (maybe?)
these are all pet's i've bred but i couldn't see the carried traits of the sylvorpa before i sold it

when you catch or hatch a pet can you not see carried genes? i'm understanding the carried not being visible on the acutal pet but i couldn't see it at the gentics blurb at the bottom, for example the Sylvorpa at the top is one of the first pets i bred but i couldn't see any carried or visible genes in the genes slot so i sold it, but it looks like the person or someone that bought it after wards had it gentically tested and i can now see that it had two carried genes that i couldn't see it that because there carried and you can't see them unless i get them gentically tested?

how does that work exactly? i can use the advanced search to look for pets with carried genes that haven't been gentically tested and multipul come up is it something i'm doing that i'm just not able to see them?

uisng the advanced search this is one of the first pets that comes up
https://www.sylestia.com/view/pets/?petid=7070955
it doesn't appear to be genetically tested but it shows having carried traits

while this pet
https://www.sylestia.com/view/pets/?petid=7071239
shows having carried traits while being tested?

am i perhaps just having bad luck for a lot of the pet's i've sold it seem like there gentically tested afterwards and they have hidden traits, i'm not upset over it just mostly comfused for a lot i was trying to get a carried trait but didn't seem to have any luck and sold them but it seems more and more like i'm just not able to see the carried traits somehow

sorry if this is a bit confusing to understand what i'm asking

You can't see a carried trait when you catch them, until you test them with a Genetic Tester. Those are available for purchase in the Diamond shop for 1,500 (I think) diamonds each. You can use those for an infinite amount of times. If you can't buy it, there are other players who are willing to test your pets.

An exception are pets made using Essences. Then you can see the carried traits. The pet you saw with the carried traits but NOT genetically tested is a pet made using an essence.

what about bred and hatched pets? do you not also see carried traits then? would i need to test any bred pet to see if they have carried traits?

for instance this baby has one visible trait and nothing carried
https://www.sylestia.com/view/pets/?petid=7056363

the dad has 6 visual
https://www.sylestia.com/view/pets/?petid=2715196

but mom has 1 visual ad 2 carried
https://www.sylestia.com/view/pets/?petid=1308931

i feel like the baby should have some carried traits but i only see a visual does that mean that it doesn't have any carried or do i have to test it to be sure? can you never see the carried trait of any pets without testing or am i doing something wrong because i can find pets that show carried without being tested?

Yes, you will need to test every pet (other than the ones created, by, well, essence) to see their carried. And yes, you will need to test it to be sure.

You can also see the carried traits of any encountered sylesti if you have the genetic scanner (bought in the diamond shop)
You cannot see carried traits on bred pets unless you have the genetic tester.
Pets you find with carried traits have likely been tested - you can tell a pet has been tested by this little symbol on its profile

There's a ton of players who will test your pets for free over in the Services forums.
To do so, you will need to set the pet up for sale to the user preforming the testing. Set it for sale price of 1 gold and then put their user ID (found on their profile) in the designated section. You do not need to worry about your pets being stolen - Krinadon does not allow scamming and will sort it out.

other people have explained pretty well
Basically
> Visible Genes will be visible in the genetics from the time a pet hatches
> Visible Mutations will ve visible in the genetics from the time a pet hits adolescence

> Hidden (carried under a vis) and Carried (Carried on slot with no vis) will only show in the genetics if a pet has been a) Created via generator (Carried only- essences/starters do not allow for Hiddens), b) Genetically Tested (any owned pet), or c) Genetically scanned (wild sylesti, carries over as being Gene Tested if caught)



this luffox that you linked in post 1:


definitely doesn't have no traits. She will have at least two carries, minimum (M1, either (F) Windchaser's Tail or (J) Maine Coon Tail, M3 either (F) Neck Bow or (K) Foo Dog Armor). She could be 6c, or even 1v5c; the father wasn't tested, so no idea if he had any carried traits- if he was uncommon or above, he had at least one. Evidently the baby has no vis genes, but there's a possibility if he had a carried mut the baby could have a vis mut


But yeah, many people offer free testing, definitely something you can make use of

Thankyou for that breakdown :D, Ill have to look into the free testing, the father was one I caught that was an uncommon but since I still didnt understand how exactly the carried genes worked I ended up releasing him in confusion since I thought I had done something wrong as I couldnt see any carried traits on his gene info even if the baby doesnt get any trait I rather love its colouring, thankyou for your help
