Hello! ^^ I started to drift away from this game around when bases like fox were JUST released, and I'm sure wolvden has changed a whole bunch since then. But, what? I'm not sure if any of my wolves are in the ranking they were when I used to play. What is sought after now?

Low gen/NBWs with raffle stuff (marks and eyes, though eyes are generally worth more than marks) and/or T3 bases, pretty much. Generally speaking, any pup, even if G2 T3, needs to have either a raffle feature or really good stats to get bought for more than 10-20ish GC (plain foxes are worth even less than this), particularly role specific stats, unless the total is VERY high (like offspring-of-2-leaderboard-wolves high.) Role specific stats on their own don't seem to be worth much even if they're insanely good - for people to actually buy the pup it seems to need to have a T3 base or special marks, eyes etc (and low gen.) T3 base alone isn't worth all that much anymore and they're often used for raise and chase if they're random high gen pups. Still worth more than T2s/T1 pups which are broadly worthless unless they have raffle stuff (I sold a G2 dust eye with merle for 10 gc recently, for example.)

The best stud to have right now (that isn't a NBW) would be a G2 T3 with a raffle eyes + t3 base combo that doesn't exist yet as a stud (for example, a G2 storm eyed piasa) plus decent starting stats so that it can 'outdo' its NBW competitors.

When training wolves, make sure they're going to get the correct stats for their hunting role (or just for *a* role if they're a scout so they don't end up with a worthless stat distribution, particularly for a stud) by making sure that the desired stats are the two highest ones before it levels up, bc stat gain at level up favours the wolf's highest two stats. The amount of 'warping' that can happen per level up is obviously more the higher level the wolf is, but it's much easier to fix it in the very first few levels using pup training to get +1s to the desired stats than to try and fix it later on when there's a wider gap. Also pup train everything that you intend to keep or which is valuable and you want to sell, because not pup training a pup functionally removes ~60 stat points it could have otherwise had.

Also, stats people generally distinguish a good wolf by role now rather than total overall stats (check out the leaderboards, it has categories. :D) A pup with 45 speed and 120 agility and 120 strength is pointless to train as a chaser even if it has a high stat total.

Btw I recognize your name! You bought some stat wolves from me WAAAAY back I think. I feel like I did a kind of convoluted job of describing stuff so if you ever have any specific questions about any of the new stuff feel free to message me. :'D

Just started a few days ago. So non-inbred wolves are considered more valuable? I play a dog sim where some people refuse to inbreed, but the majority don't care so it has little effect.

@Leonca
Yeah, the majority of the site seems to avoid inbreeding, or at least there's a difference in value between IB and NIB wolves. Ultimately it's up to you how you play though. NIB low gen seems to be more of a value boost than IB vs NIB long lined wolves tho.
