Gonvoyage's Hybrid Strategy and Advice/Giveaways/More
This is a Work in Progress Hello everyone and thanks for stopping by, please feel free to call me Gon! I am an avid hybrid breeder with over 50+ Breedable tigons/leopons and numerous years of experience playing this game!
In the past, I have had crazy luck with my hybrids at times, and other times bouts of no luck, here I would like to break down my experience, findings, and strategies for all who are interested in the ways I keep, breed, and steadily increase my number of breeding hybrids! The Routes of Obtaining A Hybrid Option One
Buying a Hybrid.
If you don't want to take the risk of buying reverse heats to a hybrid for it to fail this is perhaps the most fool proof method! The only con? A heftier price upfront.
Some tips on saving:
Cubs are perhaps the most expensive route to straight purchase. As of the time Im writing this (3/16/2023) Gon cubs are demanding 400+ GB on average and pons are not far behind.
My advice? Stalk for sales.
Search the trades with a maximum age set to 12~ and a maximum price set to 200GB. As I studied today's sales there were several ladies that popped up for a bargain. These lions will sell fast though, but 2 hybrids with 4 heats each can be bought - if you're patient for a cheaper price than 1 hybrid cub.
Option Two
Breeding A First Gen
You are choosing the difficult path eh? My advice bulk stalk up on cotton rootbark (crb) and breed them regularly, I always love having something to come to every day have 5-8 or even just one bred and crbed daily would help control the urge to splurge on ready to go crbs to ibf. Get a cycle going, get dedicated, and start grinding that GB. From what I've heard it usually takes about 1000 with spending far more for a first gen to pop.
Option Three
Going the Reverse Heat Route
This again is a gamble. But if you;re looking to do it for the best price to maximize your chance for a cub look for any splits you can and DO NOT pay over 20GB.
Gons and Pons pop in the TC often for less than 200GB with heats remaining. Buying three to four split heats at even 30GB each could have easily bought a pon. Buffalo scrotums if you don't already have them on hand also get expensive and fast. So if you do not already have Buffalo Scrotums on hand I highly suggest looking at option A - UNLESS it's feb or a month with buffalo scrotums available.
Option Four
The draining Barked Heats
This is perhaps the epitome of instant gratification. They are available from most hybrid owners you could breed a G1 lady for a 10% pass rate! What could go wrong?
Everything.Everything could go wrong.
The items spent on one barked heat outside of feb can buy 1-5 hybrids depending on the month, market and your patience. Even march, just one month later, each Yohimbe bark can sell for 10-16Gb each! Though I find they sell best I’m ready to go bundles of 20!
Option Six
Raffles are another way but also not one I would recommend for obtaining a hybrid.

The 5 Steps to Getting a Hybrid Step One
This is perhaps the easiest part of obtaining a hybrid, decide what one- tigon or leopon you would like to pursue.
Markets of both tigons and leopons vary from heats, to the lions themselves in their value start with one and begin feeling out what is expected and what it would be to get one.
Figure your goals for what generation or the cleanliness.
I have always been more attracted to breeding existing tigons and leopons over trying for a first generation but there are pluses and minuses to both.
Step Two
Begin working towards your goal. Spend time learning the market and seeing what is a great deal. If you decide to procure a hybrid through heats, this could be spending time seeing what the natural heat market is like- I never recommend doing barked heats for hybrids as the items themselves even a month after February could buy a tigon/leopon- Heck, I've bought pons and gons during feb for 20Yohimbe bark during 2023 and 2 gons twins for 30Yoh in 2022
I personally, I do not buy full heats only split heats as the chances of doubles passing are rare and the GB can then be used to purchase more heats - increasing your chance to get a tigon or leopon through more heats, than betting on one heat.
If you plan on breeding a first gen, begin grinding and researching how many CRBs it'll take (expect 1,000+)
Step Three
Now you understand your market, but how do you get the GB? Begin crafting and working towards a path of steady GB.
Apart from buying and selling food, which can be a nice way to get pocket change heats are expensive, buffalo scrotums and grains of paradise are also expensive so where does the GB come from?
Firstly look at your king, a low gen highly sought breed only base can bring in a steady source of gb, a mutie king can also increase your GB flow.
Every time my G1 Prismatic king passes his base the cubs are worth a base price of 15GB or the equivalent of one split hybrid heat.
Another great way is to use your talents, art, coding etc to get some more GB or you could try perhaps the most basic marketing method -> buying low and selling high (this is my preferred method of getting GB)
For example, buying black stallions at 1gb and selling them for 2GB
Step Four
Begin your grind, and begin implementing targets to increase your flow of GB.
Step Five
Now that you have some GB coming in regularly reserve heats or work towards straight purchasing the hybrid. Again, I always recommend purchasing split heats unless you find an insane deal on a hybrid, I've found some deals for 100GB a cub before from people looking to sell that day right there! But given the choice of buying a hybrid cub for 300GB or buying 15-20heats at a price of 15GB-20GB I would take my chances with splits every time!
After following the sale of hybrids this past evening I highly recommend option A - straight buying to be the best route of obtaining a hybrid unless you have a gambling heart
On Going Events Give Aways I regularly mass breed my ladies,and would love to give back- If I have a particularly fruitful breeding 10%+ Pass rate in a batch of breeding one hybrid will be given away randomly here! As my ladies grow old I will also host some random tosses if there is interest of frozen tigon / leopons as well! Next Mass Breeding/Giveaway Scheduled: Feb. 16th 2025 (Tentatively Set)
Amount Of Hybrids: 43!
Pass Percents Determine the Age/Breedablitly of the Hybrid UPDATED
12% 16+ Pass Rate = Hybrid Cub
7% 9+ = Breedable Hybrid
3% 4+ Extra Frozen Hybrid
<3% 1+ = Frozen Hybrid
Breeding Hybrids: 45 Hybrids will be bred with 135+ Cubs expected!
(percentages are a little off in hopes a hybrid cub can be given!)
For a Hybrid Cub -> - passes
For Breedable Hybrid -> - passes
Bonus Frozen Hybrid -> - passes
Frozen -> - or less
*Each winner has the choice of a tigon OR leopon!
*Remember these stack! So if we hit 7% a frozen and a breedable lady will be given.
If we hit 12% All four options will be given!
IF rng decides she absolutely adores me and we get anything more than 12% these will be repeated with 13 being the new 1. So for example, if we hit a 19% pass rate there would be 4 frozen tigons, 2 breedable and a hybrid cub.
*MASS IBF WILL BEGIN BETWEEN 4 AND 6 PM Lioden Time*
This time is tentative as it may be later in the day by the time I can get to the ibfs. Winner of the March 25th Giveaway

Just thought I’d share that my gon gave me a lil green bean of a gon a few hours ago https://www.lioden.com/lion.php?id=794237767894 and I couldn’t be happier cuz she’s ungrounded now lol
I'd be honored if I were to be blessed with my first hybrid, I really want one but I'm still a bit lost on how to properly breed lionesses to get cubs worth selling for SB or GB. I just came back from a year long hiatus and I'm just as confused on how to breed and sell cubs as before my hiatus. As for breeding projects I'm trying to breed or buy a good heir to replace my starter king. I also really want some more primals, I love piebalds and lionesses with stripes or rosettes. Ones that have vivid colors but still look a bit natural. I like color bombs as they are called as long as they have pastel colors; purple, pink, blue and mint green. And of course have a touch of natural/brown or dark colors. I'm a sucker for the ragdoll base and all of the purple, pink and blue bases and ideally I like lions with blue, green or orange/yellow eyes Whoops I'm rambling but I really love the hybrids; tigons, leopons and japons.
