Every marking is sorted into a category, called a Tier, based on the way that it is obtained. This tier will be visible next to the marking on your wolf's page. It's important to remember that a marking's tier does not define how rare it is. A Tier 8 marking is not necessarily more rare than a Tier 2 marking, in fact it's often the opposite. A marking's tier only defines how or where it can be obtained. In the example below, the "T3" next to each marking's opacity percentage reflects that these markings are Tier 3.



For a quick reference about what each tier means, you can hover over or tap on the ? in the top right corner of your wolf's marking box. Importantly, every marking can be obtained through Random Marking Applicators, regardless of their tier, so the method of obtention noted by its tier is not the only way to get a marking. The table below provides a little bit more information about each tier.


Tier Meaning
Tier 0 Basic NBW markings, obtained on NBWs or through customization
Tier 1 Custom markings, obtained through customization
Tier 2 Raffle markings, obtained through breeding to a Raffle Stud
Tier 3 Applicator markings, obtained using an event applicator
Tier 4 Empty category not used for any markings
Tier 5 Placeholder/unreleased tier, using for markings that are not meant to be obtainable in RMAs/Total Shuffles, like raffle stud markings before the raffle is pulled and event markings before the event is over.
Tier 6 Combo markings, obtained through breeding specific colors
Tier 7 RMA-Exclusive markings, obtained rarely when using a Random Marking Applicator or Total Shuffle
Tier 8 Rare NBW markings, obtained on starred NBWs after lead wolf level 15


On this page, we'll list every marking sorted by its tier, with an explanation of what each tier means. Due to the amount of images, this page may take a while to load as you scroll. You can quickly jump to a specific marking or tier using your browser's search function. If you want to see markings grouped by color instead, check out the Marking Catalogue page. You can learn more about marking genetics on the Marking Genetics page.
