January Event!

There were horrible rumours going on for few days, but they appear to be true! Prey is scarce due to migrations and the carnivores of surrounding African lands are suffering from Great Hunger. With this month's event, you will all work together to create a great food resource for the hungriest lions to make sure your species will survive! Other animals are suffering too and maybe you could help them die out to have more food to yourself?

Add all food you can to the pile and unlock free hunger boosts for the rest of the month! You can use it once per day, per lion! The second bar is boosted by killing event-exclusive scavengers and unlocks a special SB shop! Both bars have 3 tiers.

You can deposit a carcass to the pile from your hoard or food stack!.
Note: This affects only your choices on what to do with the food and working as community. It does not affect hunting etc

Carrion Eaters and Carrion Shop
Carrion Eaters defeated bar will rise based on your actions in Explore with the new Explore Encounters. Along with the tiers rising, the more stuff will keep happening in Explore! Tier 1, 2 and 3 will unlock more and more encounters.
Vultures, starving animals and scavengers will be pesky annoyance, so you decide if you’re gonna be evil and kill them or nice and just get rid of them from these lands. Yes, some do affect karma!

Carrion Shop will open when you unlock this bar - due to everyone having free food from Food Pit, we realise you guys are mostly donating and selling the food, earning SB.
This shop is different than in other events - the prices are in SB. This is a great SB sink that will help deflate the food prices, while not being mandatory to buy from. It contains more than just decors, including Lion Meat in tier 3! Yay!

Leather Beetles
You will gain a Leather Beetle for every battle won with creatures from Hunger Event and as tiers open, there'll be a sum of 6 new carcass encounters where you can gain Leather Beetles from.

- Leather Beetles can be spent in a special shop called Boneyard
- Boneyard will unlock when both other bars reach tier 1 and will unlock further as they upgrade.
- Boneyard is a little bit different from normal shops - it will let you Dig for 2% energy to find wares, or you can deposit bones and skulls to do the same. Every Dig/Deposit will show you few items that you can buy for Leather Beetles.
- Boneyard donating will take any skulls/rib bones from your hoard. If you want to save some for trading/playing we recommend to bury them or put in trades already.
- Some items are exclusive to Dig or Donate Skulls - you can get different results from each!

2017 changes:
- Carrion Shop will feature 6 new decors/BGs.
- Boneyard will feature few 2016 themed decors (such as Dead Kudu Calf)
- Boneyard will feature 4 new decors/BGs.

Two of those will be recolours of Bone Armour - Meat and Dark version for people who like variety!

Special Applicators
We're waiting for poll results to come in regarding marking applicators. However, due to all this cannibalism going around, some of the lions are going primal..



Mutie On Demand: Primal
This unique mutation will be a new addition to a later tier in Boneyard. There will be a very rare chance to find it in there, and quite expensive (come on, not 1000 LB, who invented that? :D)

I have gathered a LOT of input in chat since the community response was very, very vivid when I started spoiling the art (you're welcome to join art streams and watch me draw markings etc for them in next days ;'D)!

Here's some official statements and conclusions:

- MoD Applicator will be applicable ONLY to Adult, non-mutated, non-posed Males.
- Primal is affecting the Adult Male art most visibly, and decors might be funky with it. Remember it's a mutation and it uses universal lion decor files.
- Primal for any other stage is more cosmetic and won't change the main look that drastically.
- Mutation won't hinder studding/breeding and it will have a small chance of passing from the father.
- Mutation WILL be visible since birth on cubs - bobbed tail, then teeth + gradually they'll grow scruff.
- Mutation might appear on females and affect their looks as well. We're discussing it - LINK
- We are considering if it should pass from females as well, but we are not sure. We kinda want it to be male-based.

Remember that event STARTS on Jan 1st at 00:00 am Lioden time and ends on January 31st at 11:59 pm, and all your currency will be stored in your account until next year.
