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

[huskynerd]

I think I read earlier that this list is a combination of rarity and demand - which kinda converge in a way that creates a pet's "worth." Even though a pet like the BMD is just as rare as any other of those Advent outcomes, you couldn't expect anyone to trade it for like, a Cream Advent. Rarity is how many pets are out there, and demand affects their availability.

Sunjewel and UR B-Wolf are in higher demand then the Zebras are

...Someone traded a UR B-Wolf for a Banana plus a CE Galaxy and a Nonsunjewel once. The B-Wolf is definitely in more demand then the Zebra.

But Zebras are much rare. Whenever you adopt an equi horse/pony you have a 1/60,000 chance to get one making them OMG so rare. I believe only about 30 to 40 exist.

Sounds like a crazy unfair trade.

Perfectly explained, and probably true.

Ok question here: Why have you listed the Nick unicorn in red?

I want people to know where it is so they can tell me if it's badly placed- I really have no idea if it's placed well.

Well said!

I remember that Atwood posted that 40 or 30 new zebras get adopted on average every month

Remember that each member can adopt a lot of equimagine foals. This month alone everyone could adopt 38 newborns, and if you assume that only 40'000 members are active and that of those not all will necessarily adopt to the max, that's still thirty or forty new zebras a month. They're still extremely rare, especially if they're separated into the three species, but the rarity will be decreasing with increasing rapidity over the months as more people adopt horses and join the site. As himorganhere says, the numbers of zebras are continually increasing and at a growing pace, while the other pets like Sundogs are going down in availability at the same increasing pace as they aren't being released again (apart from on Dec. 18, which doesn't affect relative availability anyway since most pets get re-released at the same time and amounts) but there are growing numbers of people who want them.

I think it's also important to note that rarity isn't everything in trading (already said, new reason) because people who have a certain pet, like say a the blue PPS 08 advent would probably want to keep it, while more people probably plan to use an 09 rare PPS for trading fodder. So it also depends on how well liked the pet is, because that determines the amount in circulation, which can affect how much one must trade for that pet.

We tried to take that into mind when we made the list. Well said though. ^^

I don't think 40k of people on CS are active since we ussually only have 1k of members on at a time. Maybe like 5k or so but I doubt 40k.

I have also seen a Zebra traded for a UR B-wolf.

And I don't mean the b-wolf should go above the Zebra on the statistics list, just on the demand list. There are a lot more people looking for them then for the zebra.

[Devilish]

I just traded mine off..A lot of people aren't really looking for them, now that they're value keeps decreasing.

Yeah, exactly...
July dog value won't go down 'till next Dec. 18th, I think...
So yeah, good decision.
:3

July values don't go down that much when they are released..Do they?
