is it true that to get further than cinders, ambers etc, you have to have bought an offspring from someone who got a good coat from the chest lottery? just wondering because i have been doing my breeding with just the meeroos i got in the beginning and i do get cinders & ambers but not anything else. not sure if those will eventually give me another new coat if i keep breeding them together or with other ones or if i need to buy something. i was under the impression it would be possible to get all the coats because iirc each meeroo has all the genes they just need to be 'reached back' far enough to get to them, and there is always a chance of a 'mutation'.

not looking to start a flame war, just want the probable truth. from what people's experiences have been, not official stories, real life experiences only. how did YOU get your rare roos? patient breeding?...buy genes?...luck out with mutations?....lottery roo decendents?.

thanks.
