Banescale genes function in the exact same way as normal genes do except that they are only usable on Banescale. Banescale dragons have their own set of genes, both unique to the breed and "parallel". Parallel genes are genes that resemble those found in modern dragons and are those that older players will be most familiar with. These parallel genes are available through the same type of gameplay that their identical counterparts are.
Primary Genes[]
The most prominent gene a dragon possesses, these genes impact the Banescale's head, legs, flank, belly, tail, and spines.

Tertiary Genes[]
Tertiary genes are unusual in that Basic is completely invisible; non-Basic tertiary genes apply a patterning or decoration to potentially anywhere on the dragon, from snout to wingtip to tail, overlaying the primary and secondary genes. Some Banescale tertiaries are line-breaking, in that they extend out from the lineart.

Banescale Gene Items[]
All breed-changed Banescale will have three Basic genes. Any Banescale dragon on the site with a non-Basic gene can trace it back to an ancestor who had a gene-changing item applied to them OR has had the item applied to themselves. Players may casually refer to these items as "scrolls", not to be confused with actual scroll items such as Scrolls of Maturity.
Gene-changing items are available from many sources, including:
- the Specialty section of the Marketplace (both treasure and gem sections)
- crafted at Baldwin's Bubbling Brew stand
- found as rare drops in the Coliseum
- purchased at Glass & Gloss's shop at the Grand Exchange
Gene-changing items can also be sold/resold on the Auction House. While items sold there are frequently more expensive than obtaining them from the source, it may still be worthwhile if an item is otherwise too difficult to obtain (limited supply in the Marketplace, insufficient Baldwin level to craft, etc).

Gene Rarity & Inheritance[]
When offspring are produced, each gene slot has a chance of inheriting the mother or father's gene in that slot:
- Offspring's primary gene can be the mother's primary gene or the father's primary gene.
- Offspring's secondary gene can be the mother's secondary gene or the father's secondary gene.
- Offspring's tertiary gene can be the mother's tertiary gene or the father's tertiary gene.
If both parents have an identical gene in a slot, the chance of inheriting the gene is 100%. For example, if both parents have a Tiger primary gene, all their offspring will have the Tiger primary gene. In the event that the parents have different genes in a slot, the two genes' rarity determines the likelihood of one or the other being passed on. Rarer genes have lower odds of being passed on when paired with more common genes much like how breed is passed down. Basic is considered a plentiful gene while other genes are considered common to rare.
