Pupsitting

Once born, pups may also be assigned to a pupsitter to ensure greater chances (boost %) of survival, this is not mandatory but is the best way to make sure a pup survives. A pup's initial survivability is dependent on how many other pups are in the litter, and their dam’s mood and hunger, and the season in which the puppy is born. Once a pup has had 12 rollovers, or is 6 months old, they have reached adolescence and will no longer have variant survivability rates, therefore no longer requiring the care of a pupsitter. Pupsitters will gain 5 proficiency and a small amount of experience every rollover that they are pupsitting pups. However, pupsitters will also lose 1% proficiency for every rollover that they are not pupsitting anything. A pack can have an unlimited number of pupsitters.

## Survival Rates

If a pup is assigned to a pupsitter they will receive a boost in survivability depending on how many pups that the pupsitter is currently taking care of.

To have a pupsitter protect a pup, assign a wolf as a pupsitter and then go to the pupsitter tab on their page. From there, one will be able to assign up to 10 puppies to be protected by them. To unassign pups from the pupsitter, again on the pupsitting panel, select the pup one no longer wishes to be watched over and click ‘Remove Puppies’.

Pupsitters have a base 60% protection they are able to offer to puppies. As their proficiency increases, the amount of protection they can provide also increases. For every 25 proficiency points, the pupsitter will gain an additional 10% possible protection. This means a pupsitter at 100 proficiency will have 100% protection to provide. The total protection is split evenly between all puppies being protected by one pupsitter. So, if the pupsitter has 60% protection and is protecting 6 puppies, each puppy will receive a 10% survival chance boost from the pupsitter.
