Hey so I thought I'd make this post as a lot of my wolves never sell and i get confused as to why . A lot of them are boost and defects so I suppose they just aren't what people are looking for ? So I'm curious what is it people look for in wolves for example what boosts , defects , pelts ect ?

this was a point that royalsins88 brought up and I thought I'd make a post asking <3

i tend to look for at least 200T and heroes. after that any cool pelts, high rarity, boosts or defects are just a plus to me lol

I look for heroes. Boosts are a nice bonus. I'll give them CP so I don't worry about talents. When I am playing the game often enough where I plan ahead I look for howlers for FMC.

Does generation matter anymore?

useally 120+ talents so battle training is less expensive, i also try to get boosts (not so much defects unless it's a fancy pelt one and a female, as i want to breed boosts+defects) HW also something i look for, Heros and high rarity is a plus (most of my good wolves are SEVERELY inbred so i dont even bother with clean lines for my higher gens) High howler rating is something i only keep 1-2 wolves for specifically for FMC.

i would like to have low gen wolves, because higher gen means there's useally a 50-90% chance their inbred. not that it matters as a game mechanic, i would like to not see a grandfather show up 6-7 times in a wolf's bloodline.

Back with a follow up question, why is it that when the wolves are in my possession, priced at 15 or less because I've dropped the price 3 times already by this point. That people will spend 20+ in sanctuary on the same wolf Ive had for sale for over a week for cheaper. Make it make sense. Currently happening I went and sent 2 pups to the free range last night and both are in sanctuary and both already have bids like 🫠 they were listed for sale for 5 and 15 mush in my den

those Are some valid points, I try to advertise during peak activity during the day and since the day is different for every one I could very well be missing the best time to advertise.

As a returning player from nearly the start of the game I'm going to give a highly detailed value report with my logic applied to it.
all common is the starting point of value for any wolf in my possession.
it doesn't matter if it's got a legendary coat if it doesn't hit a minimum of 40R AC without it then I know that wolf is not going to give me good pups. There are a handful of wolves in my pack that don't meet my AC requirements and they are not breeders often for that reason. The likelihood of me getting bad pups is actually increased 10 fold by those odds. This has been proven to me countless times that the lower the AC the less likely the pups will be worth anything. With that in mind this is how I value wolves based on AC alone

0-30R AC - Kill

30-39R AC - worth 25 to 50 mush (more with defect/boost)

40-49R AC - this is the section worth keeping for breeding this is the baseline I start out with when I've rejoined the game. Prices should be 100-500 mush. Females are worth more.
50+ R AC - again these are in the keep for breeding section, they have a even better chance at giving good pups. Selling should be anywhere from 500-1500 mush if not more for females.
what makes or breaks these prices is generation. If I can't see the wolves full generation on the first panel of it then the wolf is not worth my time to keep at all. 1-3G females are my keepers anything past 5G the price is cut by more than half it drops the worth that much to me. If it's inbred I don't mess with it at all and if I accidental inbreed my wolves I kill them.

Now onto the boosts and defects

any of the color changing boosts/ defects should cost more than 200 mush if not apples
the defects that do nothing and the boosts that don't benefit as much as SV, MB, DH, those ones are worth like an additional 15 mush on the total

SV,MB,DH these increase the price a minimum of 100 mush but it should be more than that.
All positive vitals - 15-30 mush increase on price

negative vitals - doesn't effect price unless all are negative if all are negative decreases price by 15

talents anything below 200 isnt worth keeping alive unless it's high rarity AC. 200-300 talents - 100-300 mush

300-400 talents - 300-500 mush

400+ T - 500 mush to apple prices

BE trained pricing

less than 100 BE - 25-50 mush increase

anything above 100 BE - 100-2000 mush if not more, depending on age and total BE.
Age

1-8 years old, in this age range priced at full value

9+ price should be reduced anywhere from 25-50% the older they get the lower the price

ExH,ExW- price increase 100-500 mush

i would like for others to do what I have done above because I'm pretty sure us older players think around the same as me. I would like to know the current logic behind pricing because I do not understand still. ^^
