So I wasn't sure where exactly this topic would go but I figured the best place would probably be in Member Help since I'm confused about the economy of WP? Please move if I'm wrong, thanks.

I was just wondering what defects you personally look for specifically, and if there's an order of preferred defects you have? For instance, the thing I have in my Notes show how I choose whether wolves stay or leave. Do you value certain pelt defects over others? Apart from pelt defects, are there any other defects you particularly like? Any defects you stay away from if you can? Do you mind CP loss defects?

Does CL and generation matter to you? If so, how much? Would you stop yourself from buying a considerably cheap high rarity/talent mela DH just because he is inbred?

Does gender of the wolf matter to you? I've heard that most people prefer buying females, but I've also seen people choose males for battle wolves even though there is no difference.

Assuming there was a wolf of the same gender, weight, rarity and talent, both CL; would you pay higher for a pup with Surpassing Valour or Divine Health?

Does bred/unbred matter to you?

What is the highest age you can go for buying wolves before you stop considering?

Do you prefer all common or having rarities?

And last question... I didn't put this in the Trading Post or Breeding Discussion because I don't plan on ever selling or breeding her to anyone except for Saron. I'm not even considering, would not sell her if someone offered me 1k apples. I'm just curious, based on your own systems of wolf value, how much you would offer her? Even if you don't have the amount, what's the highest you would go? Please give me an approximate range.

Pleaseu give me a price based on her solely, excluding the decor. However, it would be appreciated if you did include a price for her including everything, but this is not the main thing I'm looking for.

Also, please give me a price for her without her bio and notes and with her bio and notes. I'm sorry, I know that is a lot of prices.

And a hypothetical situation where she was 5, let's say.

Defects: I look for melanism and albinos mostly. I value these 2 over others because I think they look best and I can get a lot of mush for them. I try and stay away from any that bring down CP because I breed for talents, boosts, etc. To sell better battle wolves.

CL/gen: CL doesnt matter to me, but i try for it becauseit matters to many others. Generation also doesn't matter to me, but I also try to keep it short for selling.

Gender: I like females because I can breed them and get the pups, i also like males because I can put them up for breeding for others to breed to. To me it doesn't matter which I use to battle/explore with.

Boost: divine health, i don't worry too much about dominace but extra health can be helpful.

Bred/unbred: doesn't really matter to me unless they are going to be my next alpha. Then I only want them to breed to my other alpha.

Age:probably 9-10

Value: I would say 200 at most for me.

Why: her vitals are good, but not hero. She has no boosts or defects. She does have a good amount of BE. She is a 1st gen. Only 1 talent. Only 6 rarity. Only 99 pounds. And 8 y/o is kind of up there.

CL/Generation: These two only really bother me if I'm going to make some sort of breeding wolf, where I try to have the shortest lines possible. If the wolf is solely specializing in exploring and battling and I have no plans to breed them, I don't mind the extent of one's lines or if they're inbred as long as it's within reason, so it's not like a father bred with his daughter or anything. That being said I wouldn't stop myself in the situation you listed as long as I didn't have plans on making it a breeding wolf.

Gender: A wolf's gender doesn't matter to me at all, but I would strive to have a balance of males and females in my pack.

SV/DH: I would go for the Divine Health, as I'd prefer battle and explore wolves over a Dominance-oriented pack.

Bred/Unbred: It doesn't matter to me.

Age: I strongly prefer that a wolf is between the ages of 1-5 so that I can use them to their fullest extent. It's picky I suppose but I'd like to have the blessing of time to use them for as long as I can, and I can't do that with much older wolves.

Rarity: I prefer that they have at least 30+ rarity if they were a common, and a comparable amount if they had a rarity.

Hypothetically, if the wolf you listed was 5 I would value her at roughly 175-200 mushrooms. She's a starter which is a plus, and she has a relatively high BE, but her low rarity/talents and the fact that she's not a hero pushes it down. Same thing with her weight.
