We all know very well the bittersweet betrayal of the "Scrying stone"

we are often shown illusions of beautiful cubs scried between pairings... just to be sure you try it half a dozen times or more, certain you are to be fated with such seen beauties you go ahead with the breeding...

only 3 days later.. (or one insta delivery..)

you get cubs that look NOTHING (usually way uglier...) than what the scrying stone deceived you with.

I personally, would like to see the scrying stone updated, perhaps like the following;

The image of the cub

and underneath the "chance" you have of getting that cub from the mating EG Very high, high, average, low, very low, ect.


Not even sure if something like this could be implemented, but it's something I would really like, and I feel it would really increase the use of the scrying stone if people actually have an idea of the chance they will have getting what they are shown..

This actually sounds like a very good idea if it was possible.

It would surely clean up alot of error people get (like myself) who think we will get good looking cubs and get ones that will never sell.

Yeah, they could have a little chart like they do for your lions and lionesses but instead of colors, mane type, stats, etc... Just have the percentages.

I was thinking about it a lot last night, after a batch of disappointing cubs when I had scried (A LOT) and thought I was bound to get some pretties..

Im not 100% sure if it could be done, but I like the idea of the scrying stone not being so darn misleading

thank you for your support :)

Total support from me.

Either that, or actually show cubs closer to what your lioness would be birthing.

Or both. Both sound good to me. Lol!

Agreed Seria xD

I know its not meant to be 100% accurate,

yes, so much yes, when the stone shows 20 different cubs with tons of marks and nice colors. and then your lioness has 3 ncl colored things with 2 marks......ungg

No support.

Do you realize how many possibilities there are for each cub? Let's say each parent has 10 markings and different everything. The scrying stone takes that into account and shows you the cubs that could come from that pairing; that is a LOT. You have all the different markings and opacities they can be, as well as the color bases between the two they can throw. There are a lot, lot, looooooooot of options.

If you do the scrying stone enough, you will see boring ole NCL looking cubs, I know I have. So, I think the scrying stone is accurate enough. It's not coded to lie to you or only show you the pretty cubs; it shows you individual possibilities of which there are too many to count.

I support the idea of showing percentage of likelihood by the cub (because it's probably likely that a rolled lion and a pretty prune with 3 vits and fiery unders will give you more NCL cubs than not, just with more marks), but what Nyota said - there are too many possibilities for the Stone to really be that accurate to what you're going to have.
