Very New & I have many questions

So I’ve played lioden, and I made this account this weekend but just now have the time to start playing. How different is this from lioden? Can lead wolves be switched out whenever or do they need to die of old age first? How does the currency system work? What is the easiest way to get SC?  How are pups valued? I have a lot more questions actually but I’ll start with these. I also have social anxiety so it’s kind of hard for me to randomly message players I’ve never met. 

Hey! i've been playing wolvden now since early access. never played lioden though. but i think i can answer some of these questions

can lead wolves be switched out whenever or do they need to die first?

a lead wolf can be retired early, but when it retires, it will die.

what is the easiest way to get SC?

completing daily quest from the snake. also selling items in the trading center. (healing salve and cave building material is selling pretty good right now)

How are pups valued?

I find that i can usually sell pups for around 70 sc pretty easily. though it depends. sometimes people are willing to pay 100, sometimes only 20. right now with so many new players a lot of people dont have enough SC to spend on pups, so even a decent pup will occasionally just not find any buyers.

i totally understand being anxious about directly messaging strangers, but if you have other questions, i'd be happy to answer privately. im not all that knowledgeable either though.
