So far in the game we have Ochre Gnawrock (passes a marking) and Ochre Saltlick (passes mane color and shape). I think an Ochre Otjizerub should be added to complete the area of the Ochres uses to base color and eye color. It would be an event item in September along with the other Ochre rocks.

Some players were concerned it would harm the market for rare bases. The chance of this could could be 50% instead of 100% or it could be more expensive than the other two in the event shop (therefore harder to get).

Cool thing: Women in Namibia use the Ochre mineral to make a paint that protects them from the African climate. The paint is called Otjize, which I incorporated into the name.

No support because if an item was used to pass down bases with 100% accuracy then the bases would no longer be considered special or rare and the market would suffer.

Fair point, forgot to add I meant this as an event item in September.

I really think this would be cool but I agree with Hushpup. Ultra Rare bases as well as Rare bases would become more common. I think that if this was added that it should be an event item like Toska said but be of high value and harder to get. This way there wont be a ton in game.

The other Ochre rocks are 150 and 100 Jewel Beetles, this one could be 200 JB?

That could work. I have not been on the game to play during any of the events so im not sure how easy it is to get even currency each event. But i think 200JB would be a fair price.

No support as it is. However, I think this could work if it was an item that simply raises the CHANCE of the base passing, similar to how to Ochre Powder raises the chance of the markings passing. A low % boost, like 5% or so that could stack on both parents (5% on the male, 5% on the female for a total of a 10% extra chance) could be acceptable imo

I do not support it also passing the eyes. We already have the Opal Saltlick, which guarantees eye color pass from the parent it’s applied to, so I see no reason to make that a feature of this item as well. Additionally, if you have a lioness with a special base, but common eyes (like Blue for example), you would probably want to pass the base but not necessarily the eye color. I find a similar problem with the Ochre Saltlick tbh, since oftentimes I want the mane shape to pass but not the mane color, or vice versa, so I would hate to see another item with that annoying issue

Additionally, I would like to see it added to a different month’s event shop rather than being tacked onto September. September’s shop already contains GMO Cows, Ochre Saltlicks, and Ochre Gnawrocks so I see no reason to add another breeding item to the shop when there’s some months that don’t have a single breeding item available (April, June, July, November, and December). JB also has a pretty low drop rate in September, so I doubt it would go over well to introduce yet another expensive breeding item to the Prophet Shop

no support for items that raise the chances of bases passing, let alone guaranteeing them. even boosting 5-10% would be waaaay too high and negatively affect the breed only market in my opinion
