As you mentioned, there are Tier 1, 2, and 3 bases. There is also special tier, usually written as T*. T1 is the most common base, then T2, T3, and T*. The rarer the base, the harder it is to breed. For instance, if you breed a T1 wolf and a T2 wolf, they will mostly have some T1 puppies, and a few T2s. It's not possible for that pairing to produce any higher tiers because puppies can never be a higher tier than their highest tiered parent. In this way, you can see how, over time, the game would tend toward lower tiers being more common. This is part of why higher tiers are rarer. The other reason is that tier ones are the wolves that you just encounter out in the wild. It's rare to find a game-generated T2 New Befriended Wolf (NBW) but it's possible, while the ONLY way to find an NBW of T3 or T* is to luckily stumble across a wolf that was chased by another player. Next up is markings. This is a link to MANY but not ALL of the markings in the game and where they come from. Basically, the harder a marking is to get, the more valuable it is, with some weight given of course to aesthetics. But since aesthetics are subjective, and marking rarity isn't, I would say rarity is more important for value. Eyes, skin, claws, and nose all can be rare or common colors. Many unnatural colors (blue skin, glowing green eyes, etc) are more rare and sought after. Another rare trait to look for is mutations. I don't seek them out and I'm not an expert on them, so I will leave that for other people. I will also mention heritage/family trees. Basically, the player base of this game tends to favor wolves that have a small heritage and also are not inbred. So basically, if your wolf is a rare base like, say, Chromium, AND he's an NBW (he has no heritage at all) he's a lot more valuable than if he was a wolf with a big family tree. You'll see people say a wolf is "G2" or "G7" or whatever- this refers to their generation. An nbw would be G1. If a wolf has parents but no grandparents (that is, if their parents are NBWs) then they are G2. If a wolf has parents AND grandparents, they are G3, etc. People often like small lineages. It's important to note, though, that this is just playstyle preference and has no impact on gameplay. It's just the culture of the players, really, and you don't have to care about gens or inbreeding if you don't want to! It mostly only matters if you want to sell your wolves or have a popular stud. High stats could be considered 'rare'. It takes careful breeding and training to attain impressive stats, and wolves with good stats and, equally important, good stat spreads, are sought after. Um. I tried to keep it not too intense, but this is a lot. Feel free to ask more questions! Also it's three am and I'm tired so i'm sorry if anything is unclear! |
