Well, everyone knows the Lioden developers are trying to balance the economy. However the SB cap is the worst way they could try to do so, as this will not make GB prices go down, neither will this make SB more desired.

The two main reasons why people are hoarding SB:
- Because what do you spend your SB on? Decorations? Not everyone is into such things and once you have decorated all your lions, what then?
- Because they want to buy GB. GB has so much more uses than SB, so of course people prefer it.

Now, how can we solve this?
By making SB once more the main currency and giving it back some light and usefulness as it is supposed to have.

And how can we do it?
By introducing more items to the Monkey Business that actually arent just decorations. Items that are useful, and alter gameplay. It is a wrong setting that every useful item becomes GB only.

But if there are more SB items then what will happen to GB? GB will be less worth! All amazing features should be GB only!
I see it as a problem that everything that has a 'too good use' is always made GB only. Of course people will look to buy GB instead, hoarding SB, and make prices skyrocket. Make some amazing features SB only, to raise its value. While I understand that GB is needed and the purchase should be encouraged, if SB isnt supported either, then the economy is never going to be balanced. Plus SB is the main currency... yet it is useless if you dont trade... or dont like backgrounds.



This thread is to suggest SB items, which you can buy from the Monkey Business ONLY, so the Oasis cannot have them. Feel free to add your own ideas. Please note that the names arent the ones I would like the items to be given.

Note: I wont put prices, this is for the developers to decide what they should cost.


-Customization Options-
- Reroll: -Added-
- Basic customization kit - Thread -

-New Items-
- Playtoy pack: -Added-
- Critter pack: -Added-
- Carcass pack: -Added-
- Quest guide: This might give your lion +5-10% chance to find the item or animal you need for your quest. Of course for NPCs you will need to be in the right environment.
- Anti-illness and healing items: If the sicknesses and wounds are introduced, there could be SB items to help heal the lion, lionesses and cubs. (-Original Idea-)
- Cub protecting items: If cub mortality is introduced, there could be items that help avoiding it. (-Original Idea-)

-Game Play-
- Energy tank: -added-
- Offer to snake: -added-
- Smell bad: The item makes you smell bad, decreasing the chance for enemy NPC encounter, but has a slight bad effect on impression too. (-Original Idea-)
- Catnip: This item will increase your impression slightly and attract slightly more females, but also catlike predators. (-Suggested by DragonSage-)
- Feed all Button: -Added as GB item-
- More accurate Scrying stone: For a small fee, it will also list you the markings the cubs will have.
- Adolescent preview: What the name says. Just put in the lion ID and it will show you its adolescent image. (-Suggested by DragonSage-)
- Adult preview: -added-
- Titles for Lionesses: If the titles will be implemented, they could be sold for SB. (-Suggested by PlaguedRuby - Thread-)

-New Games-
- Game tokens: You buy it from the Monkey Business (For example can be a Dice) and you can roll it to get a random prize. (- Suggested by Raksha-)
- The Wishing Rock: Once or twice a day sacrifice some SB to the Wishing Rock and perhaps your wishes will come true. The fee should probably be around 100 SB perhaps even more. I'd say the odds should be reasonable, perhaps 1 in 3 for something good, 1 in 6 for something bad and the rest of the time nothing. It could be used by any lion, the effects would be applied to the lion who used it. (-Original Idea-)
- A daily or weekly raffle: -added-
- Maze: Successful navigation through the maze and puzzle obsticals under the time limit would result in a small exp boost or stat boost. (-Suggested by DragonSage-)


-SB Fees-
- Plus Hunting party: -added-
- Subordinate Male Slot: -added-
- Signature token: Using this grants you the ability to have a signature. Can be rented for a week, then needs to be re-purchased. (-Original Idea-)

Alright, so much to adress. 0.0

I am SO glad someone has brought this up. I joined not long after the open Beta, and really I watched GB prices skyrocket from 300 sb to triple that in four weeks. There is just something wrong with that. We want GB to be something people want, but we also want it to be attainable. Giving sb more value, and increasing the enjoyment of gameplay. Personally I can say I get very frustrated at having to save up insane amounts of sb just because I'm not willing to use my real-life money to buy my own GB.

I support alot.

Support:
The reroll I agree should be Sb item because I'm not sure its worth 1 gb anyway. I mean you lose a lot when you change. However it should also be somewhat more expensive to balance it out.

All the new features~

All the decorations~

And the most of the features (including energy tank, cause that would be useful, but not including cheating death)

I'd like to have two subordinate Male spots for sb, but they would take up territory in themselves in my opinion, to make it more fair.

I do not support:

On the contrary I do believe that Lion Name Changer should be kept GB item, after all people could just go and change their lion's names many more times.

I also do not support those customization options. Why? Because no one would really use them. Most people's goals are to get custom eye colors, such as blue or green, and also custom manes, in my opinion it would be a waste to use your sb to use these items. As for the basic customization kit, I just don't think its plausible, because of the facts I mentioned above.

Also Death Cheating, it isn't useful. First of all why would you want a useless lioness, who just sat around. I support the idea that is like the idea to pass on your male's look to the new male, thus effectively having him reborn to live a new life. If something like this were to be optional for a female upon her death, and only for a limited time, it should be a GB item. This would limit it a little, so that people just can't revive all their lionesses whenever they feel like it, over and over again.

That said your ideas are good, just need some fleshing out C:

I support this :D I have an extra idea. Maybe an (rare) item that makes a lioness immortal and that you can buy in the shop? I think it is a pitty that lionesses can die, when you put time and effort into them to become higher in levels and stats :3 (Don't know if it already an idea of someone or that it isn't an option?)

@Night-Lioness
One idea was already brought up like this, the 'Cheating death' item, but it is continuously shot down, so I am planning to take that down.

Taken out cheating death item, seeing it isnt popular, and added a good explanation of how I think the customization could work on Lioden with the SB version. Also edited the Male Slot as 'added'.

keep the ideas coming, guys.
