An absolute beginner tries to breed a Glass Fox stud with no BNs (this can only end well)

Hey all,

I'm very new to Wolvden, but I'm already hooked. I love games that involve min-maxing and creating strong offspring. I already have a goal for myself: I want a Fox stud with Glass eyes, and I want him to have a short, clean lineage with no BNs. 

The issues with this goal are many:

• I still don't really get the genetics system 
• I don't quite get why tiers are so important (I know that they are, I just don't know why)
• My current lead wolf only has so long to live, and the project hinges on him

I realize that this is a huge leap for someone inexperienced with the game, but I'm mainly doing this for fun and to teach myself how Wolvden breeding works through trial and error. In all honesty I don't expect to meet my end goal, and that's okay! Hopefully I'll breed some cool wolves in the process.

With that being said, here is my rough plan:

I. Level Prowler (my lead) up to 15 ASAP.

II. Find a NBW with Glass eyes. 

a) While this is happening, gather the components for a Fox applicator. 

III. Breed said NBW to Prowler until a Glass eye pup is produced.

b) IF I have the Fox applicator by this point, this pup will be the end result of the project. 

IV. If b) isn't accomplished by the time I have a Glass pup, I'll breed it to another NBW and produce another Glass offspring. This offspring is the last hope.

c) Since I want to keep my stud within 3 generations maximum, I fail if this 3rd gen pup gets too old or dies without getting the chance to be a Fox and/or stud. 

I know finding a Glass eye NBW and the components for a Fox applicator are both very difficult, but my semester just ended and I have plenty of time to dedicate to this (not to mention a little bit of cash squirreled away for GC if needed). I'm open to criticism and tips, since I'm doing this completely blind ^^. 

Have a great day!

EDIT (4/13): 

I finally (kind of) understand tiers and bases now! So my goals have changed a bit... but the difficulty of this project sure hasn't. Prowler (my current lead) is no longer important to the project asides from levelling up enough to find chased wolves. 

I purchased a chased male Glass Muted Medium II wolf and a chased female Warm Medium II wolf in the TC. Once the female ages up, I'll breed the two to produce a Glass Warm Medium II pup. This is the relatively easy part, provided luck is on my side. 

My new goal is to find a TIII warm medium chased wolf (so Wulfenite or Mojave). I'm pretty sure this will be like finding a needle in a haystack, but hey - I have plenty of time on my hands right now. This wolf will be bred to the Glass WM II to produce a Glass WM III heir, who will have the Fox applicator applied. 

There's still a ton that can go wrong with this new plan. I have to find an incredibly rare chased wolf, get the Fox applicator components for the heir in time, produce a suitable parent for the heir to begin with, etc. But at least I kind of understand what I'm doing now, and can easily rinse and repeat this process if this first attempt goes wrong. 

good luck on your project! glass fox is definitely not impossible (though if you're aiming for a fox base i'd suggest simply applying it to a nbw with glass eyes already). i can give you a glass nbw for free, though she's pretty old. you can also find a lot of glass nbws in the trading center for as low as 10sc.

if you're alright with breeding to an already existing g1 fox stud, which is more cost-effective, i'd suggest trying to get a nbw glass eye with a t2 base in the same colour category as fox (warm medium II in this case). 

Your project sounds very cool! I was definitely not this prepared when I first joined, lol. 

Also, I have the fox base recipe, so if you get all the materials but not the recipe you can message me & send over the items & I'll be happy to make it for you.
