I know a lot of people here will accept items for studding, and it's kind of annoying to still have to send the item in a gift, and then send the sb/gb and hope it gets returned, so why not just implement a space in the studding services box that allows you to do so?

My idea would be to have an additional drop down box that can allow you to offer items from your hoard instead of sb/gb.

From the view of the stud requester.

To keep things happy, maybe players offering the studding service can specify which items they'll accept, to filter requests that are a tad... unfair, in price (I'm talking about preventing someone from constantly offering one or two food items for a stud that has like, triple rosette). They can choose up to twenty items, just like in the raffles.

What the player would see under their own studding services box.

On top of that, there could be an option to allow free breeding, like as a special, or something.

I'm not a coder, so I'm not sure if any of this is possible. I also didn't see anything like this in the suggestions, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Kimiko suggested:
if a stud could pick item to add to a list of acceptable items and the requester could only pick those items that would be the best

Also, having the opportunity to put forward breeding items which are automatically used would be great too :)
So you'd have a wishlist which you block all food items and bugs on for instance, what you really want written in your lions bio for your stud. Then for other studs you'd see a drop-down breeding items section for you to select what you want to use with the stud. I think its silly that the rules don't let you do promise transactions, or give you any help when you send over a breeding item and the stud's player efuses to use them and keeps the items, so having this extra security would be a great feature ^^ Added to the game!

Update!

With the addition of the raffle system, it'd be much easier to model my suggestion after that! The stud requester would still see what's pictured above, but instead it would only show the items the studder has selected.

Instead of manually selecting of you're accepting food/event/breeding/etc items, you'd just pick 'x' amount of items like you do when picking items you'll accept for raffles. The images have been updated to show that!

You would be unable to set your price as "Sb AND Gb AND items," only "Sb OR Gb OR Items," with an option of "Sb AND Gb OR Items."
