I've noticed that they drop rarely, so rarely that unless you have cash to burn and valuable items to sell, you're not going to be able to get enough to craft the new Trophy base.
I don't know what the current percentage is, but it seems like it's too low for us to be able to get enough of them to craft the decors [ Which need 30 lion's tooth and lion's claw ] either.
Maybe bump it up a bit to give us a hand? Even the odds?

I won my last trophy at 2018-05-10 21:58:22, about 12 hours ago.

Edit: Or make it possible to earn them in explore fighting event lion encounters.

Edit 2: To the people who keep voting no support, care to explain why you don't support?

The market for the trophy items is inflated and the items crafted from them are pretty rare and hard to get. There are only 4 Trophy Apps in the game, 7 Claw Necklaces, and 7 Tooth Bracelets. Only 7. In the entire game. The claw necklaces and tooth bracelets came out last year and there isn't even 10 in the game. That's a problem. Hardly anyone's able to craft the items because the drop rate is so low, and none of them are for sale for reasonable prices. No amount of hard work getting enough to buy the trophies will be enough to actually craft the items. This isn't sustainable.



This suggestion has 382 supports and 16 NO supports.

hmmm... i'd have to say no support just because the rarity is what makes trophy lions so special, if every base was easy to get then why bother trying for it at all?

Making it challenging is one thing-- I like rare bases.
But this is more than challenging. It is just impossible for the majority of players. The drop rate is much too low on items, it was last year as well when they released the claw/teeth craftables too.
I enjoy a challenge, but when something like this is just so unobtainable it because disheartening rather than something to work towards.

You're missing the point. This isn't just about just the base, it's about the craftable decors too. No one is able to craft them with such a low drop rate. This has been an issue since last year, this isn't about keeping a base rare, in a few weeks people will have bred at least 20 of them from the few that exist now. Even with the drop rate being increased, it will still be a challenge, but at this point its an impossible goal unless you have the funds to buy or bribe people into trading their trophies to you.

Edit: Fuchsia's a challenge to craft and there were 10 different fuchsia lions in game only a few days after the base was released. It's been 5 days since Trophy was released and there are only 5 trophy lions currently in game.

rare is one thing. The piebald apps are β€œrare” and there is still more of those apps in the game then the trophy base applicator, and those are something you have to spend money on to even have the applicator adding into the game. Hell, the monkey base applicators are β€œrare” and they have more of those then the trophy applicator and those applicators take over a month for a single person to even add one to the game.

I enter the arena multiple times a day (between 10-15 typically) and I have only managed to get 2 lion claws 2 lion teeth 3 tail tuft hair 3 kudu horns and a few small turtle.
Now after replacing my stat replacer I haven’t won ONE battle or gotten even ONE trophy item, in four days my frustration is beyond belief at the drop rate and success rate of me winning battles (but that’s a different topic).

So support.
Because I want that beautiful golden base.

Here on my side account, I've gotten 2 trophies in 12 hours, both were juicy lizards and not the craftable items.

Ive cotton 1 trophy in the last 4 days. Like for full days, so like 40 entries. And I just this past entry got 1.

Thankfully it was craftable.

5 days ago I got 2 juicy lizards. That's it. In 5 days. 50-60 entries. 3 trophies. /-\

I support. Being rare is one thing. But either having to play this event for years or spend butt loads of GB and SB to buy from other players just doesn't seem right for me. Having it take all month seems better. Years is too long

There's no point if you're basically forced to spend GB in the double digits, or thousands of SB to buy the trophies or the app itself. You're not even playing the game at that point.

And next year, there's likely to be something new, so there's no point if it takes longer than a year to craft either. It just makes no sense for the drop rate to be so low that you can't even craft it by /playing the game/. This is more than a challenge.

Man, I'm jelly of y'all who have managed to actually GET a trophy. xD I've lost 45, and won 1. I have YET to receive a trophy item at all. I would love to see an increased drop rate. As others have said, it's one thing for a base to be rare, but there is something else to be said for it to be damn near impossible to achieve. Especially when other items in the shop require the same trophies.

Support for next year.

I think doing this now would be a huge blow to those who have already spent GB to get trophy, or trophy items. Because usually when something is decreased in rarity on this site, it goes from one extreme to the next.

(IE: Dwarves before lion scrotums were changed, Asali/Mabola NCLs, etc.)

Also we have to figure when comparing it to other rare items (such as MOD: Piebald as mentioned above) that it has only been in the game for 18days.

Trophy items are also selling for 1gb each and dropping (the hard ones to get--tufts and stones). Not much in the grand scheme of things.

Doing it next year doesn't help fix the problem now though. I highly doubt the trophies are going to go from super expensive to dirt cheap. People are going to use their trophies to craft, use the items themselves, or sell them, but it's not going to decrease the value below what they were previously worth. The current prices are outrageous and inflated, average players who don't buy GB can't afford these prices and won't be able to craft at all. The only people responsible for spent GB are the people who spent theirs.

Edit: Shiny Stones are selling for 4gb-9gb when they were previously 500sb, Tail Tuft Hairs are being sold for 1500sb-3/5gb a piece when they were previously 400sb. The prices as they are aren't sustainable, no one will be able to craft after the event ends. The trophies aren't supposed to be luxury items and with the current drop rate, they're being treated like a luxury item.

Fixing the problem now slights players who have saved their past years currencies or dished out that large amount of GB to have Trophy already is what I'm saying. I will admit I am one of those players. I shelled out the money for the quick gratification. I don't want that devalued only 18 days later, sorry.

The base will come down in price just the same with cubs being born, and the studs there are now don't cost much.

Just look at what happened to the price of Sunset in just 1 year? 200gb down to 25gb for a cub.

Support for next year.

This still screws over players who have plans that can't wait for next year, players who want to start trophy projects or have muties and lions with rare marks that they need the base for that won't be alive next year. That's a problem I'm personally having with 2 lions of my own. I won't be able to complete 2 lions of mine and use them for my projects and they'll be dead by next year, I may not have an interest in the same project next year or the funds for it either.

I did waste a bit of SB and GB on items, but that shouldn't stop everyone else's ability to get trophies and craft this year during this event. This was the same problem we had last year with the tooth and claw decors, and like in my previous post, there are only 7 of each in the entire game a year later. That's a problem, people aren't able to get enough trophies from the arena, this should have been fixed last year but it wasn't, and no one wants to wait another year to craft decors or a base for their lions that will be dead by the time the items needed to craft are available again.
