I decided to put work on getting a new heir, so he'll be a good stud in the future, a nice way to get money if I do it correctly, but, here's the thing, I never really understood what people tend to seek on a stud, so he can be seen as "a valuable one", especially after coming back from a really long hiatus.
I know that normally valuable mutations are piebald, patches and any primal, but that's it.
So-... questions :

- What kind of bases are good for studs? If you can tell me their names, that's better. I know people like interstellar, but that one is pricey, and I think that people like the ones that you have to breed with another specific base to get a breed-only? But I don't know which ones are these.
- Markings? Before I left, I remember that rosettes were popular, but I don't know if they keep being that or if any other marking is also good.
- Mane colors and types that people like more than others?
- Eyes? Are any kind of eye color desirable?
- Stats: what's the minimum of stats that people like to see on a stud?
- Are clean studs more pricey than dirty ones?

I know that I'll not get the perfect stud with everything that everyone wants, but at least I want to get some things of the list right.
If there's anything you think I should know besides my questions, please tell me!

- What kind of bases are good for studs? If you can tell me their names, that's better. I know people like interstellar, but that one is pricey, and I think that people like the ones that you have to breed with another specific base to get a breed-only? But I don't know which ones are these. you can look up in the wiki but I know a lot of bases that can breed combo cubs are looked after as well as many special bases

- Markings? Before I left, I remember that rosettes were popular, but I don't know if they keep being that or if any other marking is also good. 2+ rosette from what i seen is looked for as well as bred only markings and anything new lol
- Mane colors and types that people like more than others? it depends on the person some love colorbombs others natural i say go after whatever you like the most
- Eyes? Are any kind of eye color desirable? Bred only eyes are looked for like rose dove and probably more uncommon eyes
- Stats: what's the minimum of stats that people like to see on a stud? some people search for stat monsters others just look for markings again depends on the person
- Are clean studs more pricey than dirty ones? from what i seen most are but stat monsters go for a ton to stud with

- bases and markings are both subjective, but if you want value, any special base with fitting markings will do.

breed-only specials: bandit, bushveld, celestial, damu, dawn, haze, kimanjano, mandarin, leonid, lilac, nudar, orchid, pearl, ruffian, sahara, scoundrel, sepia, sidereal, skyward, stratosphere, sunrise, sunset, sunspot, ukame, wine

combo specials: arabica, asiatic, black rose, cairngorm, celsian, citrine, elysian, ember, gilded, hellebore, hoarfrost, madagascar, mudstone, ogdoad, olive, pulsar, qahir, rime, rose gold, snowflake, soul, sphinx, squall, temporal

additionally, all year-round, event, explore, storyline, etc. applicator bases are specials, which i wont list by name for the sake of brevity. theres also special ncl bases but nobody seems to care for those, and a few common/rare bases are also commonly used (at least according to the wiki, cloudburst, nadir, and smog are commons lol).

- rosettes, applicator, raffle, and breed-only markings are highly sought after, but theres a tier feature now which should usually hint to a marking's value; i believe tier 3+ are the most valuable but there are some exceptions. also, the more markings a stud has, the more valuable it is!

- mane type and color is also extremely subjective because it doesnt really matter in regards to female lions, which are what most people breed for. most base colors have a matching mane color, so rare/special mane colors are also more valuable. (also tip: dont waste marking slots on mane markings)

- applicator and breed-only eyes are definitely the most coveted. im not sure if theres a market for ncl-exclusive eyes, but they have a lot of gorgeous rare eye colors. you can usually make eye applicators out of gems or feathers, i believe.

- stats really depend on the person. most people usually like their stud to have at least a few hundred stats, but being a stat monster isnt a requirement. they do make good money though.

- clean studs are definitely more valuable because it can get hard to find them, especially with special bases and markings, but if your king is pretty/bulky enough it doesnt really matter!

also, if i remember correctly, primal, smilus, and then ferus are the least to most valuable of primals. piebalds/patches also differ in price depending on the type but i dont remember the exact ins and outs of the piebald market lol. hope this helps you (and wasnt too lengthy orz)
