Notice: Guide Retirement

It's a new era of Grouse House! Beginning in January 2024, we're slowly moving our guides over to a new wiki website:

https://grousehouse.wiki/


Alongside this move, we'll be retiring and removing our older, outdated guides as they're replaced with updated pages on the wiki. If you don't see a guide that you've used previously, it's probably a wiki page now!

Grouse House Directory

Welcome to the Grouse House Directory, a post containing links to every single one of the guides and resources made by the Grouse House! If you'd like to request any new guides be made, provide feedback, or ask questions, this is the place to do it!

About the Grouse House

The Grouse House name started as an in-joke for the unofficial wiki team back in beta testing. As many of our team's members were located in the Mountains, we constantly had many, many, grouse in our inventories. As we began to note the high number of grouse we were collecting, we began to hoard them, and send them to one of our members so that we could tally our grouse. Eventually, grouse memes grew, so much so that we believed we needed a house to contain them. In the end, we became what we ate; we are Grouse House. Grouse House has been providing guides on the Wolvden forums under the Grouse House name since early access release, as well as keeping the fandom wikia up to data as best as possible.


Special Thanks

Extra special thanks to our Grouse Helpers! We couldn't keep our resources updated without you, thank you!

Grouse House Directory

Welcome to Wolvden!



New to the game or coming back after a long break? It can be difficult to get warmed up to all of Wolvden's features!

If you'd like to read our guides to help you get started, we've provided our suggested order below, starting from the very basics and getting into the specifics.

We hope you enjoy!

Supplemental resources which don't explain mechanics, like image repositories, will not be included, and can be found in the [Supplemental Resources] section further below.


Getting Started
These first five guides provide a base introduction into game mechanics and lay out all of the information we think would be useful for a beginner! From the interface, to taking care of your wolves, to trading with other players, we'll go over every feature and provide resources for more detailed learning in the future.


    1. Getting Started: The Very Basics, FAQ, and Glossary
Learn about rollover and the site layout. Be sure to check out the Frequently Asked Questions and Glossary, and come back to it later once you learn more about mechanics, as well!

    2. Lead Wolf and Talents
You've learned about the site, but what about learning about you? This guide explains the role of your lead wolf, the wolf you play as, and what your lead wolf is able to do for you.

    3. Wolves, Roles, and Care
Now that you know about your pack, how about learning the details of your wolves, taking care of them, and assigning them jobs to do in your pack!

    4. Your Pack, Territory, and Player Customisation
Learn all about your pack and territory, and how you can add some personalization to your profile.

    5. The Crossroads and Commerce
The Crossroads has lots to do! Learn about every Crossroads location, and then about Wolvden's currencies and shops.


Covering the Details
Now that you know the basics of the site and your wolves, your next concern: getting wolves to fill your pack, and giving those wolves stuff to do!


    6. Befriending and Special Befriended Wolves Retired: Check out the new wiki page!
Learn how to find wolves while exploring, and how to help guarantee that they'll like you enough to tag along!

    7. Hunting and Prey Retired: Check out the new wiki page!

    9. Scouting Retired: Check out the new wiki page!
If you want to start branching out across the Wolvden world, you'll have to start scouting!

    10. Biomes and Environment Gallery
Once you've started scouting, you might get curious about all of those places you're discovering! This guide explains all of Wolvden's biomes and their differences.

    11. Illnesses and Herbalism Retired: Check out the new wiki pages here and here!
Illnesses become a persistent mechanic after your 4th rollover. If you want to get ahead, you could read this guide before then, or wait until then to learn all about Herbalism!


Mastering the Crafts
You've learned a lot about what your pack wolves can do, but what about you the player?


    12. Questing
Questing is an important way to earn currency and learn about the game!

    13. Explore Encounters Retired: Check out the new wiki page!

    16. Recipes and Crafting
Throughout your gameplay, you'll happen across some recipes, which you can start using to craft! Crafting allows you to access a variety of new items, and this guide explains where you'll be able to get started.


Passing Down the Knowledge
There's so much that your wolves can do for your pack. But... isn't this a breeding sim? Where's the puppies?


    17. Breeding and Pregnancy Retired: Check out the new wiki page!
Breeding is such an important part of Wolvden, you'll want to make sure you understand it pretty thoroughly. This guide will help!

    18. Genetics Retired: Check out the new wiki page!
How will you be able to tell what your puppies will look like after they're born? Genetics, of course! Wolvden's genetics can get a bit complicated, and this guide goes in depth.

    19. Raffle Studs

    20. Puppies, Pup Survival, and Training
Once those puppies are born, how can you ensure that they survive? And, what's the best way to raise them to adulthood? This guide covers all the details.


Expanding Your Wisdom
You've learned all about the game's mechanics and everything you can do on a daily basis. What else is there to do, besides taking care of your pack? How about participating in some events!
