Quill
Item Details
Edits an undesigned geno by performing one of the following functions. On foals, the change must be genetically possible based on the parents.
- Base Change: Changes extension (E/e) and agouti (A/a), impacting the base coat accordingly.
- For example, changing a Perlino (Ee Aa CrCr) to "ee Aa" will cause it to become Cremello (ee Aa CrCr). - Gene Addition: This function is dependent on whether the geno is an Import or Lineaged. Click the dropdowns below for info on each!
Import GenosAdds a trait from the Markings & Modifiers list, depending on the number of Quills used (Common = 1 Quill, Uncommon = 2 Quills, Rare = 3 Quills).
- Added trait will always be heterozygous unless it must be homozygous to show (ex: Flaxen will be homozygous [ff])
- If an Appaloosa pattern is already present, only 1 Quill is required to change it to a different form of Appy (ex: Blanket to Leopard).Lineaged GenosAdds any one non-mutation allele possible from the parents. Only one Quill is needed per one allele, regardless of rarity.
- Keep in mind that each parent can only pass one allele from each locus! For example, "Frplm" x "nCr" parents cannot produce Frplm, even if two Quills are used.
- Works on all natural markings/modifiers and dilutions, but NOT mutations. - Gene Removal: Removes one or both alleles on any locus besides extension (E/e) and agouti (A/a).
- For example, a Quill used on "Crprl" can remove one allele to become "nCr" or "nprl," or can remove "Crprl" entirely.
- Works on all natural markings/modifiers, dilutions, and mutations.
