# Incubation

### **INCUBATE A LARVA**

🕰️ **Random incubation time: between 7 and 128 days.**\
When you incubate a larva, a **random countdown** between 7 and 128 days starts.

* The longer the incubation, the higher your chances of obtaining a genetic or ability boost.
* The shorter the incubation, the lower your chances of obtaining a genetic or ability boost.

Incubation cannot reduce your improvement odds. In the case of a 7-day incubation, you lose nothing except time.

### **DRAWBACKS OF INCUBATION**

⏳ **The process is irreversible**\
Once started, it cannot be shortened or interrupted.\
💰 **Transformation cost**\
**A cost in $CATKN** is required to transform the larva into a bee.

### **REWARDS**

The longer the incubation, the higher the chances of obtaining:

**🧬 Genetic Boost**

* **Twin Mint,** Two bees instead of one! (0% to 100%)
* **Excellence Degree Upgrade**:
  * +1 level (up to 100%)
  * +2 levels (up to 20%)
  * +3 levels (up to 0.2%)

#### **💎 Exceptional Abilities**

* **Maxed attributes**:
  * 1 attribute maxed (up to 85%)
  * 2 attributes maxed (up to 40%)
  * 3 attributes maxed (up to 4%)
  * **Perfect attributes** (up to 0.02%) the holy grail!
* **Emerald Pockets** (up to 25%) rare collectible bonuses.

> 🧠 *A detailed probability table based on incubation time will be published soon.*
