Multiple Gene Scry Options

Multiple Gene Scry Options

Yes another gene scry thread already, sorry.


I'd just like to bring up the idea some others brought up that I haven't seen a suggestion thread for yet, credit to them:

For a single gene check, you get all checks for every passable mutation at once. Which is great, but pricey for people who want to check a single litter for a single gene, let alone more litters down the line.

The suggestions here are to make more checks as well, for an equal price. Forgive me if I miss some of the passable genes, Ive only really looked into Albino/Melanism so far:


The full 150 SC price for a check of all genes

50 SC for a check for just Albinsm

50 SC for just Melanism

50 SC for just Brachy

(Add 50 to the full price for other passable non-random mutations)

Since people already scried for 50 max on average, 50 for a confirmed status per each check shouldn't be too much, and people can check for only what they want that way.

I hope this is a fair idea.

Support! 150 SC is a huge amount of SC and I think this is a fair way of cutting it down, but still keeping the cost fair. It was costing roughly 50 SC before the update to scry to a Mel/Albino to check if a wolf was a carrier, and now that feature is gone we're only left with the full 150 SC cost.

Support! A fair investment, I'd say.

I think this is a wonderful idea! The people in other threads suggesting 20 SC per mutation doesn't make any sense to me, because you usually didn't spend 20 SC per mutation to scry in the first place? It was always 40-60 SC to scry all of my carriers, I never spent 20 SC per wolf. The 50 SC per mutation sounds much more reasonable! Especially since this works on puppies too, unlike scrying, so there's much more value here than scrying ever had. If anything, the price per mutation should be a little bit higher than scrying was just for this fact.

The higher scrying cost is helpful in that it brings up the value of carriers. HOWEVER. It’s a lot to spend at once!

@Maddie Yeah that's what I was thinking, as much as I'd love it to be lowered even more, its just a bit unreasonable when that was the average price for specifically mutation scrying in the past

I support!

I just had to scri four pups and it took like 700 sc

Support, though I worry adding 50 to the full price could get very expensive potentially. Lioden has so many mutations and I expect WD will have the same one day. Imagine if even half those were scried for, it would be a lot.

Would only add to the problem people bring up with scrying NBW or starter wolves

@Lily The main reason for adding the 50 sc is just to make it so its a fair price so you can scry every single mutation or use the full one at once without cheating the system, yeah itll get a bit much if you want to scry for all like that, but currently its just the average 50 sc people have been using anyway, so if there was a change in the way we get sc and more muties are introduced down the like then yeah the price could be reconsidered to accommodate those changes, this is just a starting point idea based on what we've already been used to
