Just learned that the minimum stud price changes depending on how many markings your king has. That really puts up a block for my dreams of being a cheap primal stud for other players, which is partly why I kinged Joakim in the first place

The equation for the minimum price, so I've been told, is 25 SB per marking. At 6 markings, Joakim has a base stud price of 150 SB, way higher than i had intended to set his stud fee

Ideally, my minimum price would be literally 1 SB. It's like how some people sell NCL and markingless cubs for 1 SB just to get rid of them, it's essentially a giveaway (and I've gad to use promised-based trades to have lionesses studded for "free" after winning giveaways and such, having such a low minimum stud fee essentially just makes transactions like this safer). No more calculations based on how many markings your king has, just a solid flat minimum across the site

You can still price your kings for 9 billion SB or whatever, but it opens up the possibility for very cheap studdings to very pretty kings owned by people who want to be nice

EDIT: Y'all seem pissed about this suggestion, so heres a slightly improved suggestion: lower the stud price to 50 or so SB minimum. that's not unreasonably low, but its still low enough for any player to make it up easily



This suggestion has 16 supports and 21 NO supports.

My king has a couple of markings, but his stud price (I'm going at the minimum right now!!) is WAY TOO MUCH for what he's actually worth. I personally think he's worth 10sb at studding rate, but minimum rate makes me set the studding price at 75sb instead... he's nowhere near worth that for studding.

My side king is worth like 5 SB he's so basic, all he's got going for him is 3 markings and primal. I agree with OP here that cheap studding for like beginners or so should be a thing. PLEASE lower the minimum stud fees at least!

Sorry but no.

The minimum stud fee was implemented to stop this exact same trend. To make studs basically free. There were so many people in the past who made their stud prices 1SB, that it disrupted the entire market. The developers implemented this feature to save it.

Making your stud ridiculously cheap is nice and good but it destroys the market.

Think of it this way. If I made cars and handed them out for 1$ each, sure people would love me for it and I would feel good for it but the other car manufacturers would not be able to survive and compete.
So if your stud fee is this low, then you basically put others out of business.

The min. stud fee is necessary. It needs to stay, although I would love to see a modification. Special marks and bases/eyes should raise the stud fee higher. They are worth more, after all.
