I have an heir that I really like, his markings, mutation and their opacity.

But...his stats are horrid. I am thinking, buy a high stat male 3000+

So make the heir I like the king, then retire him straight away to replace him with the high stat lion that I purchased and keep all the visuals that I like about my heir?

Will this work?

@Amber, it will replace the stats, but unfortunately it will also replace the mutation.

Big ooph, didn't know about the mutation stuff (makes sense). Now I need to decide if I want to sell my stat replacer or just use a MOD like I did on my current king.

In order to get your money's worth, I would only use a MOD on a first gen lion with significant stats (such as a 1k groupie) or a lion with extremely high stats.

Good advice, Guillo. Think I'll just use a MOD when the time comes on him -- gives me lots of time to save up and buy one that isn't Primal.

Hello ~

First of all, thank you for this guide! It puts a lot of things into perspective!

Though, I'm still confused as all hell about how to turn my plain old starter lion into a high stat, "pretty" marking'd, primal guy.

Maybe someone could break this down into dummy terms for me LOL.

Resources: my ugly starter lion, a "pretty" marking'd primal lion, a high-stat ugly lion.

The process, if I'm understanding correctly, would be something like:
1. Mark pretty (but bad stats) lion as heir
2. Retire king, promote pretty heir
3. Retire pretty heir right after and replace with high stats heir (but keep appearance the same)

Like... I get that you can replace the appearance AND stats or just appearance and keep the stats.... but it's the mutation stuff that really confuses me. What option would make mutations stick around on your next gen king? Is there an option where you can 'apply' a mutation on a non-mutated lion? Are mutations considered a stat or appearance thing?

Hi Sammie! It looks like you've got it down. You are completely correct with your list. Regarding your question about mutations, when you choose "keep appearance," the only things that change are your main lion's heritage, mutation, stats, and personality. Unfortunately if you are trying to stat rep, the lion with the high stats instead of your king is going to have to have a mutation.

There are a few ways around this however! There are piebald/patches mods, which are rather expensive (around 200-300 gb I believe). Something way cheaper that you can apply is a primal mod, which is about 10 gb! If you use one of these, you simply apply it to your statty lion/your replacer.
