After many months of playing I am rather shocked that there is no item encyclopedia for the game... I mean one that is Liodens on the site here.

It would greatly help the new population that have not been around for previously released items on the site. Most of them do not have hover text so since this game is in beta do one of 2 things.

1: Enable hover text everywhere so you get the description of items

2: Make a complete item encyclopedia with a complete description on what the item is, what it does, what event it came from and when it was released onto the site.


A way to implement this is to have a few players selected by staff to create a thread. Then they begin to develop this encyclopedia ..players can add helpful posts etc or items they missed. Then when the thread is complete staff can take it and put it into a page of its very own and update it with each new item created. Or option two.. have a permanent link to the thread on the main bars. Small little link that simply states Item Encyclopedia.


An example of the format

Buffalo Scrotum: Guarantees at least 3 cubs in the next breeding. Eaten by a male.

Event or date this item was introduced: Since I came on after this item was implemented I do not know the exact event or date. (hence why this is important to the site and players)

Last 5 Branch sales: 35 GB on 1/12/2015
40 GB on 1/15/2015
42 GB on 1/19/2015
40 GB on 1/23/2015
45 GB on 1/29/2015


The above is an example only:


I think either of these options would greatly help everyone. You can also expand this encyclopedia to include events important Lioden dates and much more.

Keep in mind as well that this will help fuel the market and economy in some ways.


If you wish to add to this idea or have critisism pls feel free to post. This idea would not be hard to implement nor would it negatively affect gameplay to anyone.

As suggested by Nkanyezi | Grumpy Lion (#21804)
Me personally, I'd like to see something like this:

[Pic here]
African Bush Viper

Decor Item: placed on your lion's page for decoration.
Uses: 5
Percentages: N/A
Obtained By: Playing the Whack-A-Snake game daily.

For special items, such as a event items, under Obtained it could say "Available from event shops during this event each year" or something like that.

The percentages are for food/toy items. Such as "restores 5% mood" or "removes up to 60% hunger".



This suggestion has 191 supports and 0 NO supports.

Great suggestion. I'd love it to be organised by item type. I'm trying to collect decor, and an accessible database with information and how I could get it would be amazing for my goal.

YES. Agreed. After a two-month absence I came back to Lioden with new items released with NO explanation what they did in trades and even the Wiki didn't have answers to everything. It would be nice to have an encyclopedia or even mouse-over text on items.

I love this idea!
Along with this suggestion, I think it'd be a nice feature if there was a list of all decor in game with the amount owned alongside it. eg. Albino Snake (529)

Great ideas.. keep em coming .. Once the list gets longer I will list all the ideas and people can decide on how the encyclopedia would be presented. I mean it doesnt need to be limited, it can incorporate them all almost like an item wiki. Maybe I can present an example of how an item listing entry would look, and give possible formats.

Freakin please. I have no idea what some stuff does and its infuriating. I haven't be on since I created my account over a year ago and trying to learn/relearn everything is a pain cause there is no easy way to find out what a lot of stuff does.

Support.

This would be rather handy indeed. I am still quite new here, and, while this game is simply spectacular, the knowledge of items, what they can do, and ect. would be absolutely wonderful. It would make gameplay much easier for some of the new people, including me, and I feel like I would be a lot more confident in how I played the game if I simply had the knowledge to go with it.

Hmm. While it seems quite a task for those who already have their plate filled, I believe something like this could easily be worked on by any member. It would be rather easy to start a thread, and then research more into each item. Or, if a thread isn't what you're looking for, a wiki page wouldn't be too much harder to access and obtain the information from.

Well Lycanea... My idea would be to have a player or group of players put this together then someone who runs the site have a link added to the site map somewhere so all players can easily access it. As new items are added moderators or a moderator can add to the locked thread.

I definitely support this! There are times where i'll hover over an object and it will just have a simple funny saying. For example, the Striped Hyena Skull's description is: "This skull has scary looking jaws." Which is fine, but it'd be nice for new players to look and say, "oh, my lion can chew on this to boost their mood." However, with items like the devil's claw, it tells you exactly what is used for. "This creepy looking root will heal lion rabies." With new players, they know when to use it and why.

It'd also be neat to see how common, uncommon, or rare an item is, (unless limited edition type items) so that members can base their prices off of what the index lists the item as.

This could be member-made too, for someone who has a lot of time on their hands, and could soon be the official lioden item index. (Pst, I could def do this.)

I support having an encyclopedia for items. It would definitely be helpful to have for a lot of players.

I don't agree on the tracking the pricing thing for a few reasons. One, it would be a lot of coding and trouble to keep track with how many sales are going. Two, its not super necessary. The information would be great to have, but I don't think it's necessary to include the economy information as it would be difficult to upkeep and update.

Me personally, I'd like to see something like this:

African Bush Viper

Decor Item: placed on your lion's page for decoration.
Uses: 5
Percentages: N/A
Obtained By: Playing the Whack-A-Snake game daily.

For special items, such as a event items, under Obtained it could say "Available from event shops during this event each year" or something like that.

The percentages are for food/toy items. Such as "restores 5% mood" or "removes up to 60% hunger".
