The main BO tiers are tier 2 (raffle), tier 4 (rosette), and part of tier 3 (event stud, celestial raffle) along with part of tier 5 (just mottled rosette and mottled stripes). It depends on the person whether they consider RMA markings to be BO. They are somewhat rare in an RMA but much more common than the other BO tiers. So some people include them while others are more picky.

Event NCL markings are divided as well. You can technically apply them in the November event using piety, so they're not a true BO, but some people still include them.

I'm not really in the market for penta Dawn kings (I really like having a unique king, not 1 of 7 of anything or whatever - which is why I don't get into RLCs lol) but I've seen the price for those at around 400-600 GB depending on which Dawn traits it has. Since Dawn eyes exist, you could have either of these:
- all 4 Dawn markings and Dawn eyes but a different base
- Dawn base, Dawn eyes, and 3 markings
- Dawn base, different eyes, but all 4 markings

I don't know the market, but I would personally value a lion with the full set of markings more than one with an incomplete set. But I think missing the base knocks it down in price by a lot. Within the 10-50 GB range, I believe. Don't quote me on that lol.

Hexa Dawns are more rare so I haven't seen a lot sell (and iirc they're like all clones of one lion...) but I remember the asking price being like 1000+ GB.

Ultimately the whole playerbase isn't going to all agree on their favorite BO traits. It's... really polarizing ^^ As far as markings go, generally a large percentage likes dark markings like Noctis, Seal, and Cimmerian since they can work with almost any color scheme. Less people enjoy natural colors like Brown, Black, or Cream, but they still have their fans! Margay, Feline, and Vitiligo are pretty popular marking shapes.

Bases depend on personal preference - some people love combos while others don't really like the restrictions. I avoid combos because I wanna breed all the lions and pass my base more x)

Eyes tend to be popular for the appearance, and secondarily for the 'fails' it produces. Dawn has been like, the top favorite eye color for years since it's visually appealing and doesn't fail into boring colors like Brown.
