i know how to sell pets, im just wondering about the advertisement side of selling

are there certain things that would turn people away from buying?
what are important things to say about the pet besides traits, gender, and price? do people care if a pets been mutated or dyed?

for example: on another website, some people prefer empty offspring lists and are less likely to buy a dragon thats been bred before
im wondering if theres something like that here, where maybe someone doesnt like having the dyed or genetically mutated symbols on a pets info

Offspring: not really, it's just preference on the buyer's part

Dye: depends on the circumstances if it would have a negative or positive outcome, but overall neutral

Mutated: generally lowers worth because new owner can't mutate it if it's already mutated


things that can impact the prices of pets:

> Species- popular ones are likely to be able to fetch more

> Theme- G1 or PB, what theme- popularity and rarity of themes can impact prices

> Stats- base stats, grove bonus stats

> Traits- what traits, how many traits, both can play a part

> if not theme, is it a Project? or Random?- Project pets are likely to get higher prices, copmpletely random breedings generally go for very little

> Dyed- if it's a dyed theme, that would impact the price negatively, although now the measure to restore the original colours of dyed theme pets. If it's dyed as a Project, then that is different.
If it's a dyed random pet, well, whatever, no impact unless it was dyed to look real pretty, which would bolster price.

> Mutated- this one can definitely make a difference. Since pets can only be mutated once, not mutating pets you want to (or might want to) sell is the better idea, because it means whoever buys it can mutate what THEY want onto it.

> Gender isn't as likely to play into things given the genderswapper philter but...

> Offspring- the only thing likely to have an affect on the gender thing- you can genderswap pets as much as you like until they've been bred, and then they can never swap again. Aside from that I'd say pets having offspring prior to being bought is just a matter of preference/taste

> Regennable- regennable pets tend to be able to fetch high prices, but you can't just make a pet into a regennable, so unless you already have the pet that's regennable that you want to sell this is largely irrelevant

It should be noted that random tamed sylesti ('Random" mentioned above) don't generally fetch much of anything- you'd be hard pressed to get any price for a pre-mutated non-themed no-vis qitari (like,,, literally any price at all.), so the price of dye just wouldn't be worth it.

Additionally, if it's this qit, the fact that one of the traits is Irridescent scales would come into play, because that's a rather unpopular trait overall, which would negatively affect any price. Additionally, it negates the other carried trait when both visible (qit g2's can't be seen on qits that have irridescent scales mut), which again would knock down any possible sale value it had from a breeding perspective.

Some Random pets can fetch a good price- higher rarity pets (epic+), ones that have nice colours+visible traits, but common/uncommon pets, and no-vis rares, aren't likely to.

oof then it looks like releasing her might be my best option if i dont wanna keep her anymore
properly pricing pets here requires a lot of thought and ill have to look into whats popular and what isnt before i consider selling next time

ive been using advanced search to check prices but it doesnt look like itll help much in my case ;w;

it's just a matter of learning how to use the advanced search.

In this case >qit, >not themed, >CarryG2, Carry M1, >for sale, ascending, presents multiple qits for 1g or 10g on the first page (and several of them have more traits than two)
Adding >Tamed, there's one for 10g, one for 500g, and one for 5kg, though none of them are mutated.

Yours does have the benefit of having been a four star pet (120 mana), though unfortunately, this means less now that the Lost Grove exists:
Once upon a time, the eternally hard to find wild 4-star pets were the only non-fabled pets that had 120 mana, and thus were valuable for complete all-stat max stat breeding projects; with the Lost Grove, though, pets with higher base mana and the benefit of Grove stats are available.

One other thing to consider with pricing of bred pets:

-with first generation themed pets, if they are bred it stops them from being able to use a Philter of Trait Disruption (Themed). This item allows the owner to switch all the traits on a pet to random new ones, which is nice if you're selling a theme that is desirable with rather undesirable traits. If that pet has been bred, though... well, you and the prospective new buyer cannot re-roll all the traits, and that could make it more difficult to sell.

But yeah, there is a lot to consider when selling pets on this game lol.
