Maximizing the Pachycephalosaurus' Potential

Understanding the Crafty Dome Trait

The Pachycephalosaurus' Crafty Dome trait provides a 6% chance to duplicate crafted items, with a maximum cap of 25%. This means you can use multiple Pachycephalosauruses to increase your duplication chances.

Did You Know?

For a guaranteed 100% duplication chance, you'll need 8 Pachycephalosauruses with a base weight of 2.17 kg or higher. At level 100, these pets will weigh 21.70 kg each, resulting in a 12.51% duplication chance per pet.

Boosting the Duplication Rate

- Use Mutations: Mutations can enhance the duplication chance. For example:

  - Silver Mutation: Base weight ≥ 2.07 kg

  - Gold Mutation: Base weight ≥ 1.97 kg

  - Rainbow Mutation: Base weight ≥ 1.77 kg

- Strategic Crafting: Focus on duplicating high-value or rare items to maximize the benefit of this trait.

Pairing with Other Pets

The Pachycephalosaurus pairs well with other crafting-focused pets like the Orangutan. Together, they can significantly boost your crafting efficiency, saving you time and resources.
