Rare Genes: How & Where to Get Them
Below is a chart of all rare genes as well as some terms to help you understand how and where you can get them.
Randomly Createable: Genes that are randomly createable can appear on regular create horses as well as horses created using herd helpers, so you might see them even if the herd helper you used does not guarantee them. Some createable genes will appear fairly commonly while others are extremely rare, and some are only randomly createable on the second strand of chimeric horses.
Available with Herd Helpers: Some genes can't appear randomly but are still createable by using specific herd helpers that guarantee them. These genes can only appear on foundations by using specific herd helpers or by editing them on, either in the gene mod lab or through the Random Gene Sale (RGS).
Gene Mod Lab: The gene mod lab offers many rare genes which can be purchased using GMTs (gene modification tokens) which can be purchased with game cash. The lab has a variety of genes including those that are createable, non-createable, fantasy, non-fantasy, open, and license only.
Purchase Only: Genes that are available for real money purchase only (also called RGS or Random Gene Sale genes) are not available all the time, but on the 1st and 15th of every month, different randomly selected genes will become available on the Buy Rare Genes page where they will be available for two weeks. Some genes are not in the random rotation and will only be available certain months of the year, as listed below. Note: Some genes that are usually available for real money purchase only will very rarely be available in the gene mod lab for a limited time during special events, so be sure to watch for your favorites and pick them up while you can. Buying a licensed gene in the lab will always give you a copy of the license, so this is a great time to purchase licenses with game cash.
Open or License Only: If you don't want to wait for rare genes to be available, you can look to buy horses or breedings with these genes from other players. Horses with open genes can be purchased from other players without restriction, though some open fantasy genes are restricted from the public sales list and can only be purchased privately or through the auction. Horses with genes that require a license can be purchased from other players if you first purchase the license, which are available all the time even if the gene itself isn't currently available to purchase.
Fantasy or Non-Fantasy: Fantasy genes are genes found only on HuntAndJump.com and do not appear in horses in real life. Some of them mimic genes or patterns found in other animals while others are completely made up and just for fun. Fantasy genes will bar horses from entering all breeders clubs except the fantasy clubs for their genes. Not all fantasy genes are purchase only or license only, so you can have fun with fantasy even if you don't want to spend real money. Non-fantasy genes are either hypothetical or based on scientifically sound and up-to-date horse genetics research and closely follow what you would see in real life.
