Luna’s Decoration Talk #2

Hello this is Luna and welcome to the second instalment of Luna’s Decoration Talk! Today we will be showcasing three of my favorite single pieces from the past few days.

Jewelry

Adornments (silver and sapphire) by #23697 is actually a jewelry set that I think is very well crafted. It looks stunning against pale wolves. I’m looking forward to recolors of this set (rose gold for Valentines maybe).

A combination I absolutely love is red and gold, and small bells by #25438 is just a small consolation while I wait for those big bells to come. #big bells when

Weaponry

There have been a few sets of swords, spears, and other armory already available and they are absolutely amazing. However, my favorite so far is the last yaksha by #7926. The reason for this bias is that this look is complete with makeup and a mask. 

Small bells and the last yaksha may possibly complement each other. However, I’m not sure if the ear pieces would line up well or would cause too much clash. If anyone have these two pieces and would like to share the results, reblog this post!

Luna’s Decoration Talk #1

Welcome to the first instalment of Luna’s Decoration Talk, where I, Luna, will be showcasing the my favorite new lines of decorations. There are already hundreds of custom decoration and all of them are lovely, and I cannot possibly touch on every single one of them. Instead, I will just be talking about a few personal favorite. 

Single Pieces

Snakes

The first set of single pieces I want to give shout outs to are the slithering noodles. They are not everyone’s favorite but are great friends to select few. Are you one of those wolves? The following three custom decoration are green tree python by #30642 and grass snake and albino snake by #17182.

Feathers

The custom decoration catalogue has been filled with many feathery items, but my absolute favorites so far are the following two items. The crow's wings by #3308 and shy seraph by #7307 both comes in a variety of different colors.

Jewelry

When it comes to jewelry currently available, my absolute favorite is the dawn regalia and the dawn roses both by #1974. Both the regalia and the roses come in a variety of different colors. The gilded blindfold by #36293 is another one of my favorite. For this, let's not ask how it stays in place and simply admire its elegance.

Body Paint

Body paints are not normally something I really like, but sky piebald by #36333 is absolutely stunning.

Combinations

Now since custom decoration is not available in the wardrobe, it is really hard to tell how they look together. However, I feel some items would go really well together. If anyone is able to put them together, share your screenshots by reblogging this post and we’ll be able to see if they look good together or not.

Cosmic temple = sky piebald by #36333 + any constellation collection by #32507 + galaxy steps by #7939

Foreign entity = gilded blindfold by #36293 + sky piebald by #36333 + shy seraph by #7307

Foreign entity worn by Emperor #9700 (thanks for your contribution).

Closing

There were so so many other beautiful custom decoration I wanted to highlight. Stay tuned for the next instalment!

I think I want to start collecting these non-food legendary catches.

[thesolpack]

This is Luna. She will be made frozen in time after her last heat at 7Y 2M so I will be able to keep this customization. She does need a warm and matching background but no cones. I can’t wait for events and event decors so I can dress up my wolves without spending cones.

[thesolpack]

Another beautiful find today! She’s isabel based. I don’t own any isabel wolves right now so she’s #1.

[thesolpack]

Young lavender girl she is :)

Albinism!

It’s been a while WD tag. There hasn’t really been any post worthy activities recently, but not today! I was able to secure two unbred NBW carriers and produced two albino puppies. These are puppies with no other on-site relatives! I’m selling one, but not sure how to work the other into succession breeding plans I had and lore.

[thesolpack]

With the use of scrying stone to check for mutation carriers becoming common knowledge, the demand for SC has increased drastically. On December 4, 2020, the going rate of selling GC for SC has reached as low as 1GC:35SC.

Year 3 Fall Day 6 (November 30, 2020)

Two litters between Sol and Luna, and Sol and Stella again. All three of the adults are at level 20 and are producing puppies with 420+ stats. I am only keeping one (third one on the left) Belenus, a dravite male. He is going to be a scout and speed run to level 20 and then be the pack’s next breeder. He is not going to take the throne though, as I plan for his offspring (generation 3) to be born when Sol is at retirement age.

I am trying to find a NBW mutation carrier so I can breed the mutation into Sol’s lineage. As a result, breeding and inheritance plans may change. Wish me luck in my search for some mutation carriers!

Stat breeding update 2

Refer to Stat breeding update 1 for preface and definition.

Statistics Update 1: Results November 28, 2020

The graph is plotted from 645 individual birth stats (129 puppies). The lowest parents’ total individual stats is 150 and the highest is 463, with a mean of 251 and a median of 245. Parents’ grand total stats ranged from 956 to 1,779, with a mean of 1,216 and a median of 1,144.

The line of best fit for the data is y = 0.2013x + 26.364. This means that the average pup’s individual birth stat is equal to 20.13% of its parents’ total individual stat + 26.364.

The graph has remained substantially unchanged from the first update. At this stage it is quite clear that stat breeding follows a linear formula.

It also seems that the top-up range is actually 21-31, as opposed to 20-30 as I initially expected and I hereby formally amend my formula. From the graph one can see that the top-up usually falls between 24-30, with 21, 22, and 31 happening infrequently.

I will still be collecting breeding data on my own, and will update without a fixed schedule or if I spot unusual trends in my data.

[thesolpack]

Stat breeding update 1

Terms: definition I personally use to avoid confusion

Individual stat = the singular stat of a wolf’s five types of stats. In this case, a wolf have five individual stats (strength, speed, agility, wisdom, and smarts).

Parents’ total individual stat = the combined same-type individual stat of two parents. For example, if father has 103 strength and mother has 64 strength, then the parents’ total individual stat for strength is 167.

Grand total stat = the total of all five individual stats of a single wolf. For example, if a wolf has 103 strength, 196 speed, 136 agility, 103 wisdom, and 185 smarts, that wolf’s grand total stats is 723.

Parents’ grand total stat = the total of all five individual stats for a pair of breeding wolves.

Preface

Earlier in the month I came up with birth stat prediction formula that predicts the individual stat of a puppy as = parents’ total individual stat x 20% + (range of 20-30). Since then I’ve been collecting a fresh set of birth stat data and I would like to share my results thus far.

Parents’ stats are recorded at moment of breeding. Puppies’ stats are recorded at moment of birth.

The data excludes largest puppy and runts.

Statistics Update 1: Results November 21, 2020

The graph is plotted from 245 individual birth stats (49 puppies). The lowest parents’ total individual stats is 150 and the highest is 463, with a mean of 232 and a median of 230. The range of parents’ grand total stats ranged from 956 to 1,501, with a mean of 1,176 and a median of 1,120.

The line of best fit for the data is y = 0.2046x + 25.721. This means that the average pup’s individual birth stat is equal to 20.46% of its parents’ total individual stat + 25.721. 

I have received feedback on the top-up range (20-30) for my formula, so I also calculated the difference from the actual individual birth stat to 20% of parents’ total individual stat. 

 Although most top-up falls in the range of 24-30, there are still a few that falls in the 21-23 top-up range. As such, I feel that a wide range is still necessary to capture all the possibilities.

In addition, I’ve noted that one of the individual birth stat actually fell on 31 and none fell on 20. This could be the way the rounding is coded into the system, and a better range may actually be 21-31. I will wait for another of stats before officially amending the formula. 

I will post an update every time I have about 50 new puppies. Once again, feed back and your observations are welcomed. I have a thread in the WD user-created guides section as well.

Year 3 Summer Day 2 (November 20, 2020)

My oldest hunter claimed on September 25, 2020 (4 digit ID) has reached the age of 7 years. In her last heat I’ve decided to give her a chance at a litter of puppies. She was bred to the Blonde boy showcased earlier in the month that went to a friend.

There were three puppies in this litter: Red, Cream Lighter, and Yellow. All three were girls. All came with 430+ stats, and at least three RMA/combo markings. The last girl has Yellow (T2) base, 7 markings (6 RMA/combo), and has the highest stat of the litter at 443.

I am selling all of them since I don’t have any use for them. Feel free to stop by at my auction.

[thesolpack]

Level up!

Added stat gain columns.

Stat Breeding Formula Speculation

After going through my limited breeding and stud results, I speculate stats are determined loosely on the following formula = parents total stat x 20% + range of 20 to 30.

This is for individual stat and not total stat, and remember stats are calculated at time of breeding and not at birth. This also excludes runts, as I don’t have a lot of info on runts to make any estimates. 

Let me know if this worked for your breedings. I also have a post on WD guide section to see if peoples’ litters come to around the prediction or should it be tweaked.

Year 2 Winter Day 3 (November 9, 2020)

IBF PUPPY DAY!

This was a highly anticipated litter of two wolves I’ve personally leveled to 20: Sol my lead and Luna my first custom wolf. Sol became level 20 some time ago and Luna also reached level 20 a few days ago. I bred the two as soon as Luna came off cooldown. In lore these were more pups that Luna found that were result of the excess energy from the explosion (Y2 lore is already posted in WD and will be on this blog in a few days). 

I did not breed Sol and Stella this time around as I am level Stella right now (she is currently level 17). When Stella reaches level 20 I will also breed and IBF her litter. 

There were three puppies in this litter: Rust, Red, and Blonde. Two girls and one boy, all around 415 stats. The Blonde boy went to a friend as part of art payment and he is already level 18!

This is the only litter I had in WD Y2. I’m focusing on stats more than anything else at the moment, so really just trying to plot out my moves.

[thesolpack]

First you have this:

Then you have this new iteration:

I’m telling you, never gonna make you big meatus mega bacon II is all the rage in chat right now.

(also I’m so proud that my baby is on this leaderboard right now hahaha)

[thesolpack]

Leaderboard II

This is probably the highest my scout is going to get on the leaderboard; she just leveled to 19 today. She is going to be off breeding cooldown in 5 days and I’m ready to breed her to my Lv 20 lead for some stat puppies <3
