I often see 'G3' in names while looking through trading, what does that mean? For fishing, does the rarity matter more or how much the fish weighs? for instance if i had a 4lb rare fish and a 6lb regular fish which would be worth more keeping? How does breeding down patterns/colors work? How do i know what's considered rare or not to people? I know one way to tell, is the tier of base genetic but not much else. breeding is the is the main thing that confuses me about the game Any other information is greatly appreciated, i'll take anything lol. Thank you for anyone who helps me :) |

1. G3 refers to generation in the family tree. A wolf that has parents and grandparents would be a Generation 3, Gen3, G3. If the spot in the family tree says Unknown, that's where the generations stop. Like your pup here is a G2 since he has parents, but there aren't any grandparents. His parents are G1s. 2. You get more SC from higher weight. The only difference for rarity is with legendary fish, which give food/amusement items when caught. (They don't necessarily give a lot of SC though.) So the 6 lbs. fish would be worth more than the rare one! 3. Now the answer to that last question is... a long one lol. There's complexities to the breeding system, enough so that to answer it fully here would be a huge wall of text. Here's a link to explain how passing markings work, and here's for bases. I would say the rarest tiers for markings are: Tier 2: Raffle/Rare Markings Tier 7: RMA Exclusives Tier 8: Rare NBW Markings Most rare and highly sought after are usually Tamaskan Unders and Inuit Unders, both Tier 7s, (T7s) and especially Merle and Merle Patches, which are T2s. (By the way, T8 are from special NBWs, found after level 15 and have special characteristics that are indicated with a star near their sex on the befriending page. They aren't considered much by themselves, but can be considered good when coupled with enough other rare things.) Other things that are highly sought after are eye types, they have a 50/50 chance of passing straight to pups. Glass eyes from special NBWs, hetero eyes, fox eyes, and anything that says it's from the Lunar Event are harder to get than other eyes, as they are passed down by breeding or through applicators. I'm sorry for the messiness of my last answer, the site's main unofficial guide for genetics is currently down, which is highly unfortunate because it neatly labels everything and makes it more digestible than my mess of text. Unfortunately I can't find the list of markings and their tiers since that's linked on the genetics page and isn't anywhere to find otherwise, as far as I can tell. This is the closest you can get, but it's outdated by now. It still shows the basics though, so it's a start. Here's a nice checker to see what a wolf's markings are, tier-wise. This is probably pretty confusing, and it's always overwhelming at the start. Take stuff slow and over time, you'll start to catch on to what's what. This isn't as thought-out as I'd like, but I hope it helps somewhat. I hope you enjoy WD, and let me know if there's anything else. I'll try to answer to the best of my ability! ^^ |

I've got another question, what are the disadvantages of inbreeding? How bad is it? |

In-game, there's no real disadvantage. Inbreeding doesn't harm a wolf at all or make it any different than a non-inbred wolf. But while inbreeding doesn't do anything, it matters to the playerbase. A large chunk of players can't stand inbreeding and will go out of their way to avoid it. That means that inbred wolves are significantly harder to sell than non-inbred and are sometimes overlooked entirely. This is why you'll see such a strong emphasis on gens, since the shorter the family tree, the easier it is to keep track of its non-inbred status. Some players don't mind inbreeding or only care about recent inbreeding (within 5 gens,) but it's all different for the individual. |
