Unstable Genome is unique in that it is the only mutation that is able to be purchased multiple times; it can be taken as many times as the player desires at character creation, so long as they have the points to do so.

Unstable Genome, unlike the other morphotypes, does not limit the kind of mutations the user is able to gain during character creation or upon buying a mutation. It can also be taken alongside another morphotype. Having Unstable Genome does nothing on its own; however, every time the player gains a level, there is a 33% chance that one instance of Unstable Genome will be consumed, and the player will be prompted to choose one of 3 random mutations. This prompt is almost identical in nature to the one seen when buying a mutation via mutation points, and thus the options presented can be limited by the player's morphotype, among other factors.

Having Unstable Genome does nothing on its own; however, every time the player gains a level, there is a 33% chance that one instance of Unstable Genome will be consumed, and the player will be prompted to choose one of 3 random mutations. (The chance is exactly 33%, as opposed to 1 in 3.){{Code Reference | namespace = XRL.World.Parts.Mutation | class = UnstableGenome | method = FireEvent | case = "AfterLevelGainedEarly"}} This prompt is almost identical in nature to the one seen when buying a mutation via mutation points, and thus the options presented can be limited by the player's morphotype, among other factors.

Having multiple instances of Unstable Genome does not increase the chance of a genome destabilizing. There is always a 33% chance. For a query to find what chance a genome will destabilize after a specified number of level ups, follow the button below to the IteratedProbability Query:
