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-)

I agree with almost all of this, I myself am a SB user, and find GB items frustrating to get. It is a truly thoughtful idea, and I really hope they make this!

Probably should add a fee for the interact all option on the list. There are several threads with that floating around.

Plus there's now a thread of mini game ideas some of them could probably have a SB fee to play

I have changed the Original thread's link, so people can see the fees we are talking about on that other thread. Well, if the Thread Opener would edit their first post and include what you guys changed so far. It could include the fee.

CHEATING DEATH: I have an idea... When your custom lioness dies, maybe for an SB or GB fee you could pick a plain lioness/NCL to inherit her looks but not her stats?

No support they are perks for a reason. You dont need those special items to be able to play the game fully.

GB is bought by real currency of course you will be able to buy better items with it thats what they are supposed to be for. How will the game keep running if people arent spending money to get them? The site needs donations to run for monthly costs and upgrades not to mention paying staff. If items could also be bought with SB then whats the point?

dahell... are you serious?
If this was the case then why do we have the ability to earn SB? This is the ingame money. It is the MAIN currency and should be useful in a FREE game. What you are talking about is the usual setting of a P2P game (Pay to Play) or a subscription game. I know GB should be worth still more, but seriously... as a free game, everyone should have the ability to enjoy it and gain advantage with spending SB. GB is there purely for luxury items and customization, while SB is for normal items. I think the list only contains normal items. Nothing luxury there.

These are wonderful ideas.
I support gameplay items to be SB only.
Customization though should be kept GB only.

That would balance things out a bit.

I just don't think they would make customization attainable through SB.

GB items are impossible to get... I agree with celebi. I use SB and I try, and try and try to get GB. I can't buy it with real life money. I try to get it from selling lions or other stuff that I am failing at.

Customization for those that can't purchase GB should be for SB use, but maybe a higher SB amount like maybe 100 SB per marking or something. And 200 for the rare colors, eyes etc.

I agree and support this fully. Although GB is important to keep the site running, it is also important to maintain SBs importance or risk running off players who can't donate or whatnot.

I agree with GB being very hard to get. I've been seeing them go for over 1000 SB recently and that's just ridiculous. It's made even worse due to the fact people accept those offers thus encouraging the higher prices to become more common and the GB price skyrockets yet again.

With more SB items the value of SB will increase and people will start paying less for GB and bring the prices down to more reasonable levels. I support all these ideas though I have to say I'm kind of disappointed the marking adders and removers aren't SB items. Hopefully in the future they will be.

Complete and utter support!
