💎🔍 Appraisal Examples

Seems like a lot of work? Support my suggestion for an Appraiser NPC!

Example 1)

Suppose I want to find out, What are the most high stat pups being born?

Search for Rolled over today | Younger than 1 year | Min stat total 800
We can see there is only 1 page of results.
To confirm this is quite rare, query 750 min stats shows 6 pages of results. 700, a whopping 17 pages!
Therefore, 800 total stats on an adolescent is quite rare.

Example 2)

Let's check the rarity of the new eye color, Mercury.

Again, we only care about active packs, so select Rolled Over Today.
There are 6 pages of results, or about ~120 wolves.
How about only Mercury eyed NBWs? Change Generation = Exaxctly 1. We get 5 pages of results. Hmm, that means a pup with Mercury eyes might be pretty rare!
Select Younger than 1 year. Only one page. So, we can conclude Mercury eyed pups are genuinely rare.

Example 3)

How common is a level 20 wolf?

106 pages. Wow, great job everyone!
Oops, but we included Immortals. Let's exclude most of them by choosing Max age = 5 years. We get 25 pages of results. So it'd be quite the accomplishment to reach level 20 before age 5!
Can we narrow it down even more? Let's check T3 and T* wolves under age 4. Just 5 pages!

_{*1 page of search results = 20 wolves}
