🌼 Food Pit + Carrion Shop 🌼
Food Pit


The Food Pit is unlocked by donating uses of food, which can be done by selecting a carcass or stack of carcasses in your hoard and hitting "donate". At the Food Pit, you can then feed your lions for a fixed amount of hunger. You can only feed each lion once per day, but you are able to feed as many lions as you want. As a result, despite starvation being a theme this month, your lions will be quite well fed. Donating more carcasses unlocks more tiers, but even at tier 1 you'll be able to keep your girls happy

Tier One fills 20% hunger
Tier Two fills 40% hunger
Tier Three fills 60% hunger

Carrion Shop
The Carrion Shop is unlocked by defeating event-related NPCs in explore and has four tiers. All items in this shop are bought with SB. Decors tend to be around a couple hundred SB, while the applicators are going to be a couple thousand each. Note that there are no "money maker" items this month. Here are some items that can be held onto for profit in later months, but not tremendously so

Lion Meat

2000

*note that Lion Meat can also be found in the Boneyard for event currency instead


Mutie On Demand: Overgrown Fur

4000

🌼The Boneyard 🌼
The Boneyard


The Boneyard is where you can spend your hard-earned Leather Beetles. There are three tiers, and these tiers are unlocked in conjunction with the tiers of the Carrion Shop and Food Pit. You can choose to either dig or donate to randomly reveal three items. Digging costs energy and donating costs skulls/bones.



Once you have a selection of items you like, you can simply stop digging or donating. That selection of items will remain. There are decor and backgrounds that are exclusive to either digging or donating, but the "valuable" items of the Boneyard can be revealed with either. Additionally, all of these items are available at the lowest tier. Therefore, I recommend cycling through your Boneyard as soon as it opens if you have one of these items in mind. Here's what I recommend nabbing:

Giant Tortoise

20 LB

Lion Meat

100 LB

Mutie on Demand: Primal

201 LB

Additionally, there are a lot of really nice bone and skull decors in the higher tiers! If you're a decor collector, this is a good month to grab some pretty ones
