So underbrush? Fine, it's a common enough encounter. Large rocks? Same deal.
But asking for ten lion skulls is a BIT too much. On an average day of exploring, using both of my kings, with 3-5 energy bars, I can come across 1-2 lion skulls at BEST.

The encounter for the skulls is uncommon at best, and not only that, but there's a 50/50 chance you won't even GET the skull, and you'll get 50SB.

The other methods I can think of to find a lion skull are- Toy bundles, 100 SB each, and there's a low chance you'll even get one lion skull out of it.

Slot machine, you only get 5 spins an hour and it costs 50SB, so 250SB for one round of spins, and even if you get the lowest prize, you're not guaranteed for a skull.

The last option would be branch sales. As it stands, the lowest amount for lion skulls is 200 SB (Oh silly me! That was a few minutes ago, now it's 300.) (Even higher on the trading center.)
So, to get the skulls this method, you'd have to spend upwards of 3000SB to complete the quest.

In conclusion- this quest demands items rare enough that the only viable method for a lot of players, is buying them for prices comparable to resources used for applicators (Cheetah skulls, Gems, ETC.)

Please, lower it to five, get rid of the skulls, give us another method of obtaining them, something.

Let me know why you don't support (If you don't mind) and please let me know if there's a way around this!!!

Edit: Jim Pickens added: "It should be at least maybe 10 random skulls rather than 10 lion skulls."
Another Edit: Users who have already completed the quest should be refunded if this is changed! (Maybe 500SB or they get their 10 skulls back)



This suggestion has 81 supports and 25 NO supports.

I love how everyone is ignoring that there are literal trading threads for this and you don't have to pay a cent. No matter how many times it's pointed out.

I spent a grand total of 200 SB. My fiancee spent 150.

We're not ignoring it, we have nothing to trade. No spare rocks, currency, leaves, decor, anything, and I'm not giving away all of the decor I actually want just to finish a story quest.

I understand your point, I just don't agree with it.

It's not an 'agree' or 'disagree'. It's fact.

You don't have to pay a cent. You just have to take a little initive.

If you aren't willing to trade anything, then I'm sorry, but you have to pay. It's not meant to be easy, like I said before. It's meant to be difficult, at least to some degree. Making it easy removes the point of it.

Listen, my point isn't that it's hard, my point is that storyline quests are quests that require you to explore.

But as it is, the chance of finding a lion skull in explore is uncommon enough that it's a pain in the ass. It's not fun.

This conversation is going nowhere, you've said your piece and I've said mine.

No support. There's really no excuse to be on Lioden and complain about having no money. If you adventured modestly last month, you should have been able to get several buffy balls which sell for 15+ GB a pop. Not everything on this site needs to be easy peasy and able to be done instantly.

If you bulk sell all your skulls/items constantly and don't have any, that's your fault. You don't *need* to do that. After selling all my extra skulls for cheap yesterday, I've already accumulated 5 more without trying. I see zero cause to reduce the price.

I would also never pay over 150sb for a lion skull o.O

As said by Calix, not everything is instant. I am where I am now due to the fact that I have been on this site for about 5 years? And I still don’t consider myself a well know and/or wealthy player. I run low on sb if I go on buying sprees. But an easy way to make currency is by exploring, hunting, and patrolling, then selling items to the Monkey Business. Depending on how active you are, you can make hundreds or even 1,000sb+ a day alone, just from the site itself.

Lion skulls are valued at about 100sb atm. So on a good day, you could just buy all 10 skulls. That being if you never found lion skulls within that time span.

Edit due to typos*

Xylax said he would be willing to lower the amount next year, thankfully.

Personally I'm waiting until all of the items in the harbringer shop are revealed before I try to continue the story, since if it's just full of decor and a marking app then I'll sit this one out
I just personally don't like spending lots of sb to finish event quests (or any sb for that matter, I feel like I should be able to complete it myself), since I need to know if what I'm getting back is worth the cost. That just depends on what your taste in items are though.

Personally, this quest was no problem for me since I had many in my hoard from previous exploring, so no support from me, sorry.
