So I've used a mutagen on this Puma 5 times now. She started out with on no red stats and now has 5. Every mutagen I've used has been a bad trait. Useless item!

Anyone else having Mutagen fails?

Wow. I can't say my luck has been that bad. O.0

I've only used Mutagen twice, on one of my cockatrice, and twice they've been failures..

Me too, I've only used one mutagen and it changed the light bones on my puma (the one positive stat it had!!!!!) into fragile bones. :\

I've used probably 15 mutagens on a variety of pets. I think I've gotten good results about 3 times? So 4/5ths bad results...

Mutagens are basically worthless.

I've used maybe 20 to 30ish on one pet. Daria, my starter. She had maybe one green gene, I can't remember, poor hearing fragile bones. the rest of her genes were normal.

Anyway, right now she has solid beak, steel beak, animal instinct, slow-minded, steel muscles, strong muscles, electric gland, elemental vulnerability, and thick skin, all added by mutagen. (As well as normal genes and her color was changed from sparrowhawk to wheaten.)

I'm going to try and breed a lightning strike baby with her then keep messing around. XD

I've used a bunch of mutagen on http://beastkeeper.com/pet/3397

If you want to see exactly what she's had changed, just check her profile....i've listed them all.......lol.....not given up yet tho

I would never, ever use a mutagen on a good pet I otherwise intended to use/breed. I mean I know it's tempting, but there's so many more bad/neutral genes that it's just not worth the risk.

I've found a use for them recently, though! I have a 'pretty colours' group of pets that I like the look of, but they're too plain to be worth breeding and leveling. They're not bad enough to be quest fodder, either, though, so instead I just throw any mutagens I find at them. If I'm lucky, they'll get enough good genes that I can use them! If not, I don't really lose anything because I didn't plan to breed them anyway.

I have used 6 mutagens and all 6 have changed good stats to bad stats :/ I don't buy them anymore haha

Well its put me off Mutagens. Though I used two more on her recently and she got 2 good stats but both recessive. So still all that red. 

I got her through the tutorial so I use her as a mutagen experiment. A failed experiment! haha

*dies of laughter*

Sorry, couldn't help myself. Never realized how FAIL the mutagen was! Lol.

This has nothing to do with mutagens, but I just got a cartographers guild, and it's very helpful, isn't it?

I found 1 mutagen & I used it on a pretty bad stat unicorn, I think, & it changed a normal to a steel. I'll only use them when I find them & use them on bad gene pets, like the mostly red stat pets. I didn't know it could change colors so I won't use 1 on my silver cockatrice, although I do want to do something about his red stats.

I have a dragon I specifically use to spam Mutagen on when I get them, because her stats were already pretty bad when I caught her. She had 3 red stats (2 characriztics and 1 for damage) when I caught her and she still have those. I'm now keep my Mutagen use on her in her profile as a form of Journal to keep track of the items effect on her each time I use it.

I used Mutagen one one of my dragons (Vivalia), who I rescued from the pound when I wanted a blue dragon, to try to improve her stats. The first time I used it, it changed her one stat which was the better of the two to a worse one. Then I tried it again, and it just fixed up that other change. Grrrr!

Looking at some of those other sad Mutagen stories, I think I am kind of lucky, but I'm in a bit of a bother now. I've become kind of attatched to her, and I'm trying to work up the courage to put her back in the pound (that's kind of where she belongs), but I haven't yet. Maybe I'll keep on trying that Mutagen...
