Value Proposition

The sheep is a workhorse, an essential part of the Wolf Game ecosystem. Many community members compare sheep to crypto miners. At the core of it, Sheep are valuable because of their energy. However, how you spend your energy in the game will define your success. There are certainly smart ways to put your Sheeps to work, and the ever changing Wolf Game economy creates an environment where you need to be ready to pivot strategies if you want to play optimally at all times.

Understanding Energy

Gathering

Gathering is all about longevity and claiming on a sunny day. If you can gather in longer sprints, your earnings increase dramatically, this is due to the gathering rate multiplier. Each consecutive day a sheep gathers, it gathers faster. Learn more about the Farmers ability to significantly extend your gathering rates and productivity here.

Weather also effects your ability to maximize profits. Claiming on Sunny day will multiplier your resources another 1.2x on top of the daily gathering multiplier.

Breeding

By now you know the power of breeding. Let's cover a few the basics below.

Breeding Basics

  • Breeding is on a timer, the longer you can go into the breed, the more chops you will earn, but there's a energy ceiling of 750 for each breed.
  • Breeding is divided into 2 phases: Courting and Nurturing
  • At 50% complete (the start of the Nurturing phase) the Gen2 sheep is able to pulled from the barn and minted.
  • In the example below, my sheep would have a max energy of 612, if I pulled him from the barn. If i leave him inside the barn, I can keep growing the max energy.

375 vs 750 Max Energy Breeding

Every breeder comes to a point in their process where they need to decide when to pull their Gen2 sheep. This topic has been a heated debate since the early days of Wolf Game. I've created a thread below to weigh the benefits of both models. Choose wisely, as your decisions around risk/reward will shape the overall trajectory of your game.
