Basically trying to weigh my options and get the best bang for my buck. I have one Ochre Gnawrock and one Ochre Saltlick. They're both hella expensive right now so I don't want to buy or trade for any more until September lmao.

For my dream king, I need the following qualities:
Specific BO special base
Daisy or Gazania eyes
Tsavo Briar mane
BO skin, Pale most likely
Mottled rosette AND mottled stripes

My goal is essentially having everything that is exclusively breed only so that I can fill in the rest with a fat RMA project lol.

I have a Leopon with mottled rosette and mottled stripes, as well as briar soft rosette. So if I use all of my salty rocks and things to get the desired eyes, skin, and mane while using the gnaw on her mottled stripes, the chance is marginally higher to get mottled rosette to also pass since Leopons naturally boost their hybrid exclusive marking pass rate. However, she can only have 3 or 4 cubs at most, so the chances of my base passing are lower.

I also have a DU with mottled stripes and mottled rosette. With her I would be forced to only use the gnaw on one of the two markings. Chances of them both passing would be very low. But she can have twice as many cubs, which doubles my chances of the special base passing. With one of the two markings on a king, after September I'll be able to use 2 gnaws per breeding to guarantee both of the mottled markings to pass.

So I'm a bit torn. Chances are low for either of the breedings to be successful, but I'd like the best odds I can get!

(If one fails, maybe I'll just spend some more GB cause I have no self control lmao)
