If someone's suggested something like this, please let me know and I can scrap it.
If you do not like the idea or think it needs tweaks, please explain! I love feedback and to see where other players are coming from.

The idea: A 'lion sink' for all lions, not just cubs like the Enclave, that *rewards* players for killing or nature reserving their lions to take them out of the rather large lion pool. Imagine the 50 lioness quest but you're chucking out lions instead to get some SB, maybe some energy, maybe some entertainment or food. This could be a weekly quest or so that everyone can opt to take. They can choose good or evil or neutral for the karma they want to 'farm' with the quest.

Example;
"Your task is to send off 50 lions to the nature reserve." There would be no age limit. Once all are reserved, you can finish the quest for some SB or energy replenishment or some food/entertainment/etc from a pool of chosen items.
[Perhaps there could even be a double point counter for mutations to help encourage getting some of the cheaper ones out to help there as well. (i.e. reserving or killing 1 primal fangs = reserving or killing 2-3 normal lions)]

If you are a neutral player, the option could be to reserve 25 lions and kill 25 lions. Give and take evenly so they would not have to worry about having to work on lowering their karma in mass too.

I'm still not certain what the rewards could be, outside of maybe some energy replenishment, maybe some SB, or maybe a handful of entertainment items and/or food to pull from.


Are players probably doing this anyways when they're wanting to work on karma? Yes. But would it hopefully encourage more fodder to be killed instead of treed or tossed up for a few SB a piece on the TC as well as give another quest to look forward to once in a while? Maybe!

Addition for Protective & Heartless Personalities: Suggested by Mad Hyena!
"As a possible solution, JUST for these two personalities, Protective and Heartless, the quest given should be the Opposite of their personality, regardless of karma; so Protective would get Kill Lions and Heartless would get Nature Reserve lions. So they do not reap rewards with no energy loss; and loosing no energy from their usual karma action, they can replenish it easily after the quest (which will actually make it double the amount of lions deleted; 50 for quest and 50 more to restore the karma). These personalities already have a karma advantage over other users, getting karma without any losses, so I feel they shouldnt get it overeasy to get those rewards, while other users would have to spend 2+ energy bars to get it. "

TLDR: Weekly quest that has you kill (evil karma) or nature reserve (good karma) or both (neutral karma) a number of lions of any age to help pull some out of the pool. Possibly 'bonus points' for mutated lions. Or perhaps a special 'bonus' quest that has a chance to rarely pop for slightly better rewards for farming anywhere from 5-20 mutated lions in the manner above?

Again, please feel free to let me know if this is a not so great idea and why, or if it could use any tweaks!

This suggestion is harmless at worst and a fantastic idea at best. Supported! We need more cub sinks in the game.

It giving you some items from a pool is a good idea, maybe some rarer crafting items like how the lioness one can give you murex shells. Could also have a rare chance to give you things like dove feasts, etc.

I love this idea! Normally, I just end up letting my NCLs that I don't want either get sold in massive bundles on the trading centre or just letting them starve if I'm feeling extra lazy. This'll honestly help me out so much with actually sorting through my lions. This quest would work excellently with the 50 NCL one, maybe it could be done as having increased odds in the two rollovers after completing the quest?

Lovely idea, I support, although, the personalities Protective and Heartless would have an unfair advantage over others for not loosing energy doing this quest. Even Candid personality that gives back 3 energy per claimed lioness isnt always guaranteed you wont loose much energy, it might be 10-20 energy between females in explore. But these two nullify the energy loss completely.
As a possible solution, JUST for these two personalities, Protective and Heartless, the quest given should be the Opposite of their personality, regardless of karma; so Protective would get Kill Lions and Heartless would get Nature Reserve lions. So they do not reap rewards with no energy loss; and loosing no energy from their usual karma action, they can replenish it easily after the quest (which will actually make it double the amount of lions deleted; 50 for quest and 50 more to restore the karma). These personalities already have a karma advantage over other users, getting karma without any losses, so I feel they shouldnt get it overeasy to get those rewards, while other users would have to spend 2+ energy bars to get it.

The flavor text could be the following:
"Oh, you're Protective! Ive heard of your great exploits leading other lions to safe nature reserves! But, oh, it seems the reserves are pretty full now, with all the lions you led there... it will take them a while to get settled. But I can give you Kill Lions quest."
"Oh, you're Heartless! Ive heard of your merciless battles against other lions. But it seems you've killed all that would dare oppose you... there's nobody left to stand against you. But I do have a Nature Reserve lions quest I could give you."

I absolutely love that idea! I had forgotten about those personalities. I’ll add that in and credit you!

This is an interesting idea!
I like Mad Hyena's addition as well, so that way everyone's on an even playing field if they choose to participate!
Support from me!

Going to start documenting again tomorrow. The difference I get is very noticeable now with a different king. Strange timing for it to not feel related to swapping mains. Very very few muts from CRBs now.
