Unlocking Dateable Wolves
Unlocking Dateable Wolves
After completing Eranthis' introduction to dating, you'll be given three random dateable wolves. Each day after this, you'll be able to unlock every eligible wolf through completing daily quests and storyline chapters!
Every daily quest will reward you with one new dateable, until you have unlocked all of your eligible options. At certain milestones throughout the event, you will also unlock more. After you have completed 5 dates, Eranthis will introduce you to two more dateable wolves. After you have completed 15 dates, you will unlock another 2.
Preferences
Preferences
Each dateable wolf has a certain set of preferences that will determine how much affection you will be able to gain with them on each date. Some of these - personality, eye color, and base color - are related to your lead wolf's traits. The other preferences regarding gifts and biomes are related to the date itself. You can find lists of every dateable wolf's preferences in the All Dateable Wolves section of this page.
Each dateable wolf prefers a certain group of base and eye colors, and dislikes another. Note that these are not specific colors, but rather broad groups encompassing a few eye colors.
Base color groups are straightforward relating to Wolvden's current genetics. For example, if the dateable wolf likes Light Muted Bases, this means that they like any base in the Muted color category and the Light shade category, regardless of tier. Eye color groups are a little bit more unique. These groups are not listed anywhere else on site and are only used within dating. These are based on the general color of the eyes.
Each eye color group and the eyes associated with them are listed below. This list is

Gifts and Dates
Gifts and Dates
Once a day, you can give each wolf one gift and take them on one date, on which you also give them another gift.
Separately from the gift you give while on a date, you can gift each wolf one item per day! Each wolf has a liked gift and a disliked gift, and everything else is just considered "okay". If you want to gain affection quickly, make sure that you are gifting the wolf an item they like.
If the gift you give is Liked by the wolf, you will get 3 
LB and +3 affection points with the wolf. If the wolf has no strong opinion about the gift you give, you will get 3 LB and +1 affection points with the wolf. If you give the wolf a gift they Dislike, you will get 3 LB and -3 affection points with the wolf.
Once a day, you can take each wolf on a date!
Each date lasts for 15 minutes, and you can only go on one date at a time. The reward for each date is 10 LB, and you may get positive or negative affection points depending on how it goes.
Before setting out, you'll have to choose which biome you want to visit. You can also choose to give the wolf a gift. Giving a gift on the date is optional, but strongly recommended as it can sway points in the right direction.
Each wolf has two liked biomes and two disliked biomes. Every other biome is just considered "okay".
Based on how the date goes, it will be assigned a point value. These points will then be converted into affection points! So, if you get a total date score of +7, you will also get +7 affection with the wolf.
The point values for each trait in dates are listed below. In order to get a perfect score, +8, on a date, you must match all of the wolf's preferences exactly. If none of the wolf's likes or dislikes are included on the date, you will not receive any affection changes.
Liked Personality: +1 [X] seemed to enjoy your company.
Liked Eyes: +1 [X] couldn't seem to stop staring into your eyes.
Liked Base: +1 [X] complimented your luscious fur.
Liked Gift: +3 [X] enjoyed the gift you brought.
Liked Biome: +2 [X] enjoyed the scenery and seemed comfortable in the date location.
Neutral Gift: +0
Neutral Biome: +0
Disliked Personality: -1 [X] seemed irritated by your company.
Disliked Eyed: -1 [X] didn't make good eye contact with you.
Disliked Base: -1 [X] seemed less than impressed by your fur.
Disliked Gift: -3 [X] left the gift you brought behind... was it an accident?
Disliked Biome: -2 [X] complained a lot about the location of the date.
Affection Milestones
Affection Milestones
 | Through gifting and going on dates, you will gain affection points with dateable wolves! Giving wolves gifts they like or love, visiting biomes they enjoy, and having traits they favor all contribute positively to their affection of you. On the other hand, giving wolves gifts they dislike, visiting biomes they don't enjoy, and having traits they dislike will contribute negatively to their affection of you. At certain affection milestones, you will start to notice changes! Particularly, different milestones correspond with different wolf portraits and flavor text. You can view how much affection you have with a wolf by hovering over the hearts beneath their portrait. |
Each affection milestone and its corresponding changes are listed below.

Dateable Wolf Decors
Dateable Wolf Decors
| Throughout your gifting and dating, you may start to become attached to the NPCs! Or, start to wonder what the point of gaining their affection might be. Luckily, gaining affection with NPCs isn't just a method of gaining currency! Once Tier 3 of the event shop opens, you will be able to claim a prize from any dateable NPC who you’ve reached 50 Affection with! You will be able to tell that you've reached this point once all of the NPC's hearts are filled. Affection does not change if you don’t interact with the wolf, so if you get to 50 Affection before Tier 3 opens, you can focus your attention on other NPCs and claim the decor later! |  |
Once Tier 3 is open, visit a max affection NPC’s page to find that a new button has become available. Clicking on this button will credit you with a decor item featuring the dateable wolf! You can get one decor for every NPC you reach 50 Affection with, you don't have to pick and choose. These unique new decor items are intended to be used alongside a Translucent Jellyfish, and are distinguished from other decor items by their pink border. Transulent Jellyfish can be purchased from the Grove for 4 GC.
Each decor item has 20 uses and can be traded among players, meaning you can sell any that you don't want to keep for yourself. There is not a way to move this decor behind your normal wolf, or edit it to fit alongside them. Since these decors were designed with the Translucent Jellyfish in mind, they likely will not fit alongside your wolf normally. You can view each wolf's decor in the All Dateable Wolves section of this page.
