Trying to figure out economy and wolf details

Trying to figure out economy and wolf details

Hey there, I joined a while back and largely stopped playing because while I could figure most things out and daily play was easy enough, navigating the site was overwhelming.

I'm trying to find someone who can help give me some pointers on what's profitable in Wolvden - like, selling items, how studding works here, etc - and how wolves work.

Are we able to transfer wolf looks to the wolf that replaces them? I was considering saving up for Airglow, but im not sure what pass rates look like here. Is it worth buying an app, or should I just buy a wolf to customize? It feels like looking for reps could be expensive and I'm a little bit daunted in that regard.

hey!

The appearance of a lead wolf (or any other wolf) does not transfer to its replacement like it does in Lioden. When you replace a lead wolf, you can choose one of any age that is in your pack - or reroll which would give you the option to design a low stat, commonly marked NBW (like how your first lead would have started out).

Consider breeding if you want a specific look to pass on - although its not 100% guaranteed, you'll probably get a somewhat similar pup at some point.
Buying an app is worth it imo, but I find that T3 bases pass onto pups a lot easier and morre frequently than T* bases.

Also, unlike Lioden you cannot "stud race". You can only submit one request for a female at a time, and if you change your mind and want to switch to another stud you have to cancel and submit a new request.

Feel free to reply or pm me if you have any other questions!

Thank you, Azavea.

As a new player just getting my feet under me, I'm trying to weigh the risks vs reward of breeding, since it might not be financially feasible for me, for a long while, especially given mass breeding is one of the few ways we can ensure app bases pass on LD. Do we have any info on WD about what pass rates are like?

Also, what is a T3 and T*? I suppose asking if we have a wiki so that I can do research is also a thing I would like to know.

Definitely wait to breed until you are sure you can support pups, as having wolves leave due to neglect/space can be overwhelming.
You can check this post [GH] Base Genetics that will explain base pass rates and combinations better than I can!

There are 4 different base tiers, all represented in short form as T3 or TIII, for example.
T1 - the most common tier, little value on its own
T2 - common tier, more neutral
T3 - some of these bases can be crafted. This is valuable base tier
T* - this refers to "special" bases, like those you can buy or earn during events (ex. Airglow)



The Wolvden Wiki is up and running, but information is often outdated or inacurrate.A better source to reference is this Grouse House Guide Directory, filled with information on practically everything regarding Wolvden.

Thank you. I'll look at these. I remember using Grouse House when I first was playing, and I'll peek at genetics. I wonder if I should start with buying an Airglow and just studding, then do more later.

Is the clean vs dirty market here more healthy? Do people care about dirty as much?

clean vs dirty depends on the person. I would say clean is definitely preferred by the majority, but it has no actual affect on game function so some don't care about it. There is less inbreeding now because there is such a demand for low generation wolves, which makes it difficult to inbreed.

What matters more is generation, or G. Anything over G5 is not very valuable, unless it happens to be a lethal or random mutation. The lower, the better! The most successful studs are G1-G3.



edit: If you want to stud but don't want to spend the money, I'd be happy to give you some refunded studdings to mine until you get everything sorted out. (Anteros) No worries if he's not your style

Alright, I'll try to see if I can find a G2 or G3. Can you use sex changers on NBW? I wouldn't mind applying a base to one if I find a nice chased, but I only keep lead males as a preference.

I'll keep that in mind, thank you. All my wolves are kinda garbo at the moment since I was looking for stats and proficiencies first. Maybe one of them will come into heat.

Yes, you can use sex changers on any wolf so long as they haven't been bred before.


It's also more acceptable on the stud market for NBW Studs to have lower stats than a G2 or G3, because their stats are generated to be in the 200s - but it will only be successful if it has good markings (10) and a desirable base. Just something to keep in mind!

That starting curve is absolutely brutal. Sounds like I'm gunna have to settle for a couple generations of wolves I don't like to get a wolf I want.

Thank you for the head's up. That'll save me a lot of heartache. I can care about not getting studs once I have a cushion.

Yeah it's definitely rough at first. A lot of people go on breaks/hiatus because its overwhelming (myself included).
Keeping a clear and obtainable goal can help you stay motivated and interested until you start to get the hang of things.

Good luck! You can reach out to me whenever if you have any questions.
