"The" Rares List Guide - Do not ask about new UR's!

[Aeli]

I'm Baaaack! :3
So what do we need to do?

I'm in the process of making a rat list.

Rose PPS = Dark Pink Shima B-Wolf = Timber Wolf PPS = Blue Dragon PPS (I think?)
Joker should go up a bit now too because of demand. Maybe around the gearback. People have been offering sorbets for it.
I think CE Galaxy should be equal to the Yellow/Pink Sorbet
Sunjewel bunny should be added to list of Septembers, as well as the grinners.
BA should be added to the September List.

I might be wrong on some of these so just double check.

The URs shouldn't be rated until the demand has calmed down a bit more. It's still hard to gauge what they're worth. I THINK they'll settle to being around...

UR Malk = Blue/Pink Balloon = Grapes
Yellow/Green Toxic = UR Rat
UR Dog above Gearback.

I would say it should be like this:
Rose PPS = Dark Pink Shima Bwolf
Blue Dragon PPS
Wolf PPS = Devil/Blood PPS = Scarf PPS
Target PPS

^ If people think it should look different chime in. We should discuss it before any edits are decided on.

As I've mentioned before, the pets in between the Pink/Yellow Sorbet and as far down as the Green/Yellow Toxics are fairly interchangeable. I think swapping them around more would be unecessary.

The September List currently consists of only actual Septembers. If we started adding pets from other months, there would be a considerable amount of pets to add. BA is on the Advent '08 list.
Speaking of the Advent list, I think the Sockdog should be moved down to Green-fronted Holly level. The demand for it really can't compare to the top 3.

For the URs, I would definitely say the Grapes are worth more than that. I'm also surprised that the UR rat would be above the UR Malk dog, but I have absolutely no idea about that Malk. I'd say the Tiger is worth the most followed by the Grapes. I would think a Malk would be more in demand than a rat, but I could be wrong.

The rat is in higher demand then the malk because they're's less UR rats adopted :3
The evil PPS was avalible for an event, so it would go under the target PPS, or not on the list at all.

Uh...wat? So yeah the Evil PPS was available for halloween, you had to trade for it, and it was the rare of
the litter, has been VR since it was released if I recall right.

Why would this make it worth less? Event pets are worth more than normal monthly pets,
just look at the advents as an example.

The Grapes can go for about a Toxic; they're definitely higher than the UR Malk.

Mkay. xD I haven't been staling the auctions for the UR. I think the rat is rarer than the Malk but less in demand? It seems to be that way at least. Thank you Deja for clearing up my lists and stuff. <3

I definitely agree with that, Hekomi/Jeweled (one of you keeps forgetting to sign your posts... xD). I have seen a lot less Rats than Malks, but not everybody collects Rats. Everybody liked the UR Malk because nobody really expected it and it has a design that many people like.

Oh, btw guys...
Growing Light Faced October '08 = VR
Target Dog = Still Rare

What does this mean? I always placed the value of the rarer Octobers under Advent '08s, which are significantly lower than Septembers... And while Advent '08s are fairly affected by demand, and maybe even the Target litter being pretty popular...I really though Octobers were a lot less rare.

My reality. It has been bent. >>

wow... Nick Unicorn is now OMG So rare
and I think that he must worth more then BE galaxy... because Nick Unicorn never was re-released... he was released only ones
(I think)

It's Hekomi. xD I'm being lazy and not signing them. And yeah, Deja, I don't know exactly what that means either. it's a bit perplexing.

As for the U-Nick-Orn I don't think it should go up too much. It's not really in demand.

If I'm not all wrong, rarity value on this site is calculated at least partly on how many accounts own
a certain pet.
So in that theory, a hoard will make a pet rarer, since less accounts own one of those pets.
The target dog is more popular than any october by xINFINITY, so it is spread over more accounts.


If that theory is wrong - yes the October brown stripe adults were pretty scarce actually.
The PPS were ridiculously common, while the adults were pretty uncommon.
Targets and the Brown stripes are only one month apart - so it can be just fine that there are
less of the light faced dogs out there, while the target is still much more valuable due to
popularity and being a sept. pet.

I think that rarity is determined by how many of x pet exist compared to the total number of pets on the website. I also think that there is a specific "quota" for rarity. For example, if there are 5,000 or less of x pet, it it OMG So Rare!. If there are 50,000 or less of x pet, it is Very Rare, etc. etc.

So, in theory, there would be less light-faced Octobers than Target Dogs, making it literally more rare. I can't remember exactly when the adoption limit was added, but if it was in October '08, then that would make sense. If I could adopt 50 Target newborns in September but only adopt 10 of the October '08 newborns, there would be less October '08 newborns than Target newborns.
