Helllo, Shaderrn here. Joined a few days ago, been reading around and getting a feel for the place. Having a lot of fun so far, and wanted to ask about some subjects that have caught my eye and would love some better insight on:

  • How important are stats? Are they a required focus, or something I can keep to the side?
    • In relation to stats, I've have my second wolf I made (companion to my leader wolf, might pairbond) as a pupsitter, but think I've read a bit that scout could be a better role for them. How true is this in terms of building stats?


  • What is immortalizing, and how is it different from retiring? I like the idea of keeping the wolves I really like from dying, but I don't quite understand how this plays out within the game mechanics.

  • T3s, T1s, etc. I'm pretty sure these are about breeding, but what exactly do these mean?

  • And I'm missing something here because I'm not too sure how to apply the healing items I've received so far directly to the wolf in need of healing. Would love some help with that.



Any help is appreciated; I've felt real welcomed so far and love that this game exists! 		shaderrn

Stats are important for roles such as hunting and scouting, the higher the stats the better for hunters and scouts!

What is immortalizing, and how is it different from retiring?

When a wolf dies such as ATLAS they go to the dynasty vs when a wolf is frozen such as Alaska they stay in your pack forever and cannot die or have roles etc, but freezing cost

T3s, T1s, etc. I'm pretty sure these are about breeding, but what exactly do these mean?

Bases! T1 is a common base; All custom bases, T2 is uncommon; Breed only and SOME custom bases, T3 rare/special; Breed only and ONE is a app (Fox), t* Special; Lunar base apps

And I'm missing something here because I'm not too sure how to apply the healing items I've received so far directly to the wolf in need of healing. Would love some help with that.

You can go to your hoard and click on your healing item you wanna use then click on the wolfs name in the dropdown tab with what wolf you wanna use it on!

Let me know if you need anymore help!

Hey! Welcome to Wolvden :D

1. Stats are pretty important, especially for hunting and scouting; however, beyond that, it does depend on your play style. I pay attention mostly to looks, with some eye for stats, but stats also influence breeding (and the price people are willing to pay for studs, etc.). The "Gameplay" section of the 'Help' tab in Tala's Archive lays that out a little bit.

2. There's not a ton of difference (they don't age, die, require resources, etc.), but immortalization is important for puppies born with lethal mutations.

3. The 'T' in T1/T2/T3 stands for 'Tier'! Bases in Wolvden are tiered by terms of rarity - higher-tier bases are harder to breed, and considered more desirable. There are also 'special' bases, denoted with an *, that are harder to breed, and so considered more desirable. These can be applied with applicators, obtained during events (e.g. the monthly lunar event).

4. You can apply them from your Hoard! Go to your Hoard, select the item, and choose the right wolf from the 'Use on' dropdown.
