Hey there! Welcome to Wolfplay!

1. Tips for newbies:
Don't buy too many wolves at the start, or you'll have a hard time building up their strength. You're borderline teetering. Focus on your starter wolves for now since they have the most CP.

Stack your wolf's Battle/Luck/Perception/Resolve. Luck and Perception help you find mushrooms and relics, the latter which you sell to Montak (Realm > Marketplace) for mush. Battle and Resolve help you defeat enemies and prey, so you get food and mush at the same time! Explore is the for-sure guaranteed way to earn mush.

Although art is a good way to earn money (especially if you're good at it and can also come up with creative art things), I wouldn't rely on this too much.

2. Breeding for defects/rarity/all the good stuff.
You need quite a bit of mush to breed to good wolves. I'm not a breeder unfortunately, so I don't have tips for this, but generally the more mush you have, the more you can afford better quality wolves.

3. Tips & Tricks:
Really know how to budget and spend wisely. Mush is easier to gain as you get playing, pretty much like any other game.

Also, read all the guides, written for members, by members!

4. Apples:
This also requires mush. The general rule is 1 apple = 1000 mush. You can buy apples from other players in Realm > Marketplace > Barter, and under "Search", there's an option to search for apples for sale. Some folks might also have art or writing contests in the forums, where they give away large amounts of mush or apples.

Hope this helps!

Have fun~
