While we're on the improved/side list subject, it would be a heck of a lot easier for other people if you worked by points. For example, Tier 1 advent would be 1 point, Tier 2, 1.5 or something. Then, if you had all of the pets numbered, you could add up what pets you would need to make it fair. It would be so easy to be able to look at the lists and be able to see if you have overpay or underpay if you don't know your lists well.


I had actually started a list like that a while ago. Like a point system, but rather than it being simple "rarity math" (2 R= VR) or anything like that, it's a more complicated system.

I started with this, but it proved ineffective. I should have started off with uncommons rather than rares.

take 1 wrote:1 - early '10 rare
1 - late '09 rare
1 1/2 - early '09 rare
4 - tier 1 advent list
6 - tier 2 advent list
7 - tier 3 advent list
8- tier 4 advent list

13 - Light Leopard = Grinner [s] = Halloween Cat = Skelebun


tips wrote:coontail is worth two nons. dogtag is worth three.

Nons worth three sorbets

A grinner's worth ~13 mid-late '09 rares

The GWJ is only worth a (high) september less than a low non


I'm not the best at rarities, but I'm sure those who are can piece together a point system using example trades.

That kind of a thing works for certain pets, such as the couple DD points out above. A point system for every pet would be too extreme though. It puts a complete strain on value for pets on the rares lists, and reduces the flexibility for trading available with the way things are right now. Apart from that, a point system also just simply doesn't work well because not all gaps between pets are perfectly nice "values" like a "0.5" or a "1" or something. Until further notice when a broken down list is available, just try to learn about the gaps for different pets. There's tons of information out there if you just search for it. As for the demand issue, a list with demand is on the whole more beneficial than one without, as it's very hard for many players to gauge exactly how much demand affects the value of certain pets on their own. A list with demand allows us to have a benchmark everybody can use as to the relative range of the value of a pet. It's up to the users now honestly to make sure they don't apply excessive demand or something to it so it stays true to form and helpful enough (as was originally intended).


A few other users had spoken of the idea of a point system before. I personally love the idea, and I even created a little list of my own before. High up pets such as the Sunjewel would be worth absolutely ridiculous amounts of points.

I'm not suggesting it as I know it could backfire, but since they are placed like 6x their true value each, maybe it's time they get reset?



I'd love to see at least a little lowering as well...people are just going to overpay for them no matter what, it's gotten to the point where the List isn't "relevant" to them, if that makes sense.

This was actually discussed just a few pages ago if you look back.

I was thinking if people are talking of the BA and Joker moving down due to wild demand and people forgetting about the list takeing demand into account maybe the rats should move up. The rats are hugely under-valued due to demand and nobody takes into account the fact that the list considers demand when they were placed so I think if they were mover up people would pay more.

Agreed 100% from the x pps up through the balloons. However, if you kind of work out the gaps and such, you'll notice that the balloon isn't worth 3 blue roses,

Agreed from that point onward up through the sorbets. Definitely a good change to finally have all the sorbets on the same line, as they should be.

As for the joker issue, I've got it at a sorbet level. That factors in some demand. Some people seem to think that it's extra rare or something which makes it valuable as well, but on a strict rarity basis, the joker shouldn't even be on the main list in the first place. People also like to tend to inflate the value of every single pet in excess. I feel like the joker would be fine at a sorbet level, and a clause / notice should be made very clearly that that's what it's worth with demand. Like all other pets such as the tiger, if one wants to pay extra, they can for the pet. But it's NOT WORTH something ridiculous like a non. For those trying to persuade other people to pay excess amounts for it, they shouldn't be because it could potentially be considered a scamming attempt imo. A threshold should definitely be set so that people don't go around telling other people "Oh it's worth a non".

I highly disagree on the blue toxic value, it goes for a good amount for than that. At least, it has in the past, and continues to, both in transactions I've been involved in, as well as other peoples' transactions in the FTT, GTT, etc. I've got the blue toxic at being worth a sorbet + a balloon.

As for the spotted tribal / BEG, it's a slight difference, but I personally think the gap between the purple toxic and spotted tribal / BEG should be more along the lines of a balloon rather than a line tribal.

Now as for the above the "gap" pets...

Up from the spotted tribal / BEG through the nons, I may have my gaps slightly different from you because I value the Purple Tox / BEG gap as a balloon rather than a line tribal. On the whole, it's not a giant different, but nevertheless.

I had a slightly higher value / worth for the Mint horse, but given how people have been trading it, despite being OMGSR, I can sort of agree with it's listed value in the post Komi, although I'd say it's more like a Spotted Tribal / BEG + a blue rose / high sept rather than a low sept.

The Unickorn is still generally pretty hard to find and come across and still maintains good tradeability and value. I have it worth 2 sorbets + a yellow/green toxic, or with the stated values for the mint horse above, a Mint Horse + Purple Tess Horse roughly.

The GWJ has always seemed to be rather close in value to the nons (same goes with the nonjewel). The gap typically between the GWJ and Nons has been roughly a high sept (meaning blue rose level roughly). Given that there's technically no pet that could be single-handedly tagged onto 2 sorbets for its value in my opinion, I generally go by 2 sorbets + a UR Purple Tess Horse / UR Apple for the GWJ (if one doesn't go by the non - a high sept value).

Agreed on the nons values of course. I have the nonjewel worth slightly more, as a non + blue rose / high sept. Not sure if the red rose is from you or not (we did just discuss the whole thing about the roses after all =P).

Coontails. They still have decent demand. It's not overwhelming though that it should really go for more than it's typically been going for, which I've seen is 2 nons, so I'd keep it at 2 nons. I'd definitely bring the sunback up to coontail level AT LEAST. There seem to be plenty of people who pay more than a coontail for them even (I've seen a fair number of UR Cat offers, but that's not to say put them there or anything), but a coontail offer on a sunjewel is pretty common nowadays.

Now as for the July PPS... I have no clue why people don't seem to like it all that much. For quite a while, a coontail for july pps swap was rather common, and that was up until this past december, at least. I wouldn't put it on the coontail line or anything so to speak, but I wouldn't value it too much above. So something like a coontail + green/yellow toxic. I feel like a red toxic might be too much of a stretch given what people like paying for them.

Naturally, this extends to the banana and UR Cat's values. The banana I've usually got about 2 nons and a sorbet (along with the cucumber of course). The UR Cat can definitely still get very good value. I've traded several of them to a variety of players for 2 nons and 2 sorbet's worth, so I personally think that'd be a good value for them.

I agree on the dogtags being worth 3 nons. I personally thought of bringing all the zebras onto one line to be honest, as trading-wise, you don't really find one more often than the other two anymore. They're sparse as it is. I actually thought you could put them all on the dogtag line, although they could be on a line above potentially. If that's the case though, I'd rectify the blue toxic gap to something more like a sorbet gap.

Moonswirl's fine, sunjewel's fine. The UR BW generally seems to be going for slightly less than that. It's demand has started to go back up, which is nice, but I haven't seen anybody add on a purple toxic to a dogtag ever for a UR BW. I've seen more like a dogtag + CEG for one.

The UR Tiger... the supply appears to be like... 0-5 at any given time, at most. 5's sort of an overstatement, because I've seen some users who say their tigers are up for trade but won't even trade them for double the value of a sunjewel. Basically, their demand is better than the joker or BA in my opinion, and their supply is basically at 0. I'd suggest moving it above the sunjewel. Truthfully, yeah, there's some pets like the zebras that are much rarer, but since the list factors demand to an extent somewhat strictly, I would suggest moving it above the sunjewel. What the gap would be, I'm not quite sure yet. I'll probably discuss this with you and a few others privately sometime soon so we can figure it out possibly.

If there's anything from the main list I missed, let me know.

I already discussed this with you privately Komi, about the potentially extra list I'd suggest adding for shortcuts and convenience sake. Let me know what you think of that once this is all resolved and finalized.

As for the listings of pets themselves, I assume you're just putting the name of the first pet on each line and that they'll be there in the final edited version, which is fine.

I agree with this, and this is sort of what I was saying earlier. Demand is just going to hype more and more if we move it up, but demand is getting crazy as is.

I want to address these two pets, just not right now. cx I want to work with the gap list right now, then deal with those silly pets. xD

@Minimetoo; Oooh looks like it might be plausible then! Certainly something to consider once the list is done. :)

Kevin, reading through your post now, will reply on skype and take into account your ideas of where to move/add.

@Nickjr; glad you're here, I was waiting for ya! Some of the gaps don't quite make sense, so I hope with the list it will help make it more solid. But yeah, it would need to be done and have lots of input from as many people as possible. And I'd probably make it like 5-7 or something so it's not just "IT'S WORTH THIS AND THAT'S THAT" if that makes sense?


The thread was moving so fast that there were about ten new posts before I could post |DD

And yeah, that does make sense :3 (although then someone might argue "HEY the cake dogs are worth 5-7 mid advents and the blue rose is worth 6-8 mid advents so since they can both be worth 6 or 7 mid advents I could be able to swap them!" and then a chain reaction would ensue with far too many people going "I paid __ mid advents for this, which is the worth of *insert pet on an entirely different list* so gimme that pet!"... but maybe CS's population isn't quite that insane? I dunno, it seems insane enough to me; I know that people are going "I paid with this pet so you should pay me this pet as well!" already, but I feel like this might make that problem explode? xD)


ohhhhhhhh my gosh. fast thread ;A;

edit: I killed the thread for eight minutes.
It had been getting posts no more than 3 minutes apart for two entire pages.

Spread the word to end the word, because discrimination based on perceived or actual IQ/"intelligence" is no better than discrimination based on race, gender, etc.

Context, consistency, and clear antecedents are golden.

@Nick awwh yeah, it's moving fast. xD crazy.

Okay, what I've done is edited the values Kevin posted that I flat out agreed with, and then any I was iffy on are in [brackets] beside it. Thoughts now?

This guide will focus on the gaps, or differences in value, between each tier of the rares list and how to trade up and how pets are valued in comparison to each other. In order for this break down to make sense, you MUST read the entire post. Otherwise you may get confused. Only the first pet on a certain tier will be shown, to save space. Some pets will be used instead of a generic term such as "mid-September".
- rarity math
- how this list works

Key:
Non-dog = non swirl/tag/coon NOT non-jewel
Sorbet = any colour
Dark Leopard = High September
Red Rose = Mid September
Grinner = Low September
CEG = Clear Eyed Galaxy

Sunjewel - 5 non-dogs or a moonswirl & a non-dog
Moonswirl - 4 non-dogs or a dogtag & a non-dog
UR B-Wolf - 3 non-dogs & a purple toxic
Plains Zebra - 3 non-dogs & Blue Toxic
Dogtag - 3 non-dogs
UR Cat - 2 non-dogs & 2 sorbets
UR Banana - 2 non-dogs any sorbet
July PPS - 2 non-dogs & a Green Toxic
Coontail - 2 non-dogs & a balloon dog
Nonjewel - 1 non-dog & a Red Rose
Non-coon - 3 sorbets [any colour]
Growing White July - 2 sorbets & UR Apple
Nick Unicorn - 2 sorbets & Red Rose
UR Mint Horse - 2 sorbets & red rose
--- gap
Spotted Tribal - Purple Toxic & Line Tribal [or ballon dog]
Purple Toxic - CEG & Balloon Dog
Clear Eyed Galaxy - Blue Toxic & Balloon Dog
Blue Toxic - Sorbet & Red Rose [or balloon]
Any Sorbet - UR Butterbun & Dark Leopard
Joker - we need to clarify whether we will be valuing the joker by demand or its true value
UR Butterbun - Red Toxic & Red Rose PPS
Red Toxic - 09 UR Dog & Red X PPS
09 UR Dog - Yellow/Green Toxic & Skeleton PPS
Green Toxic - UR Grapes & Blue Rose
UR Grapes - Non-balloon & Red Rose
Non-Balloon - Line Tribal & Red Rose
Line Tribal - Rainbow Mane & Floppy Pink September
Rainbow Mane - Balloon dog & scarf PPS
Pink Balloon - Speckled Rat & Red Rose or 3 Blue Roses
Speckled Rats - UR Apple & Red Rose
UR Purple Horse - Skeleton PPS & Scarf PPS
Skeleton PPS - Rose PPS & Timber Wolf Advent
Rose PPS - Red X PPS & Peppermint Eared Advent
Red X PPS - Grey Dragon & Grinner or 10 advent dogs

Re Kevin's post, looking through my notes:
- I also had Blue Toxic at sorbet + balloon dog
- I had Purple Toxic at the same as Komi's valuation
- I also had GWJ + Blue Rose = Non

Not sure about the other pets mentioned with different values.
