Yes the title says it all. Using items to stud to different players. Because you don't silver beetles or gold beetles, but have junk or unwanted items? Why not use them as payment when you go to stud that handsome looking boy or lady of your choice.

It'd would be like a drop down or checklist menu, either click or drag down to select the items and give it to the stud. Yet there's a catch. Your stud want's 200 SB, 1 GB, or 20x Fire Opal Gems. You would be able to choose which of the payment options you want, (let's say 20X Fire Opal Gems) , which you have and than happily pay your new baby daddy/mommy. The stud would be able to choose what items they will take as payment.

There could be an option to have a "Are you sure?" warning before continuing the transaction. This would also be togglable, meaning you can turn it on and off.

To sum this up, have items as a 'currency' for studding. They get items, you get cute babies.

Good and bad critique appreciated, other ideas to add on to this idea would be cool. Thanks.

Edit: Numerous Edits in main post.
Small items like explore decors would not be accepted.
Togglable.
Items must be equivalent or greater than studs studding price.
Studs would be the ONLY people to decide what items they will take for studding.

I’m not really keen on this to be honest. I think it has the potential to just reduce the prices for studs and make the stud market struggle even more than it is. It would be impossible to keep a minimum fee in place (like the current 25sb per marking) with items, because items don’t tend to have an objective value like currency.

It would be all to easy for minimum fees to start being a couple of common explore items or whatever, so practically nil. The main problem would be with the bottom end of the stud market. I feel like this would just end up in those fees being even cheaper, with everyone desperately competing for lowest prices and ending up reverting to using really cheap items instead of currency :/

@Myr that is true but honestly I would hate to waste at least my time, at least 10% energy, and lose exploring steps and chances to breed with my own lionesses if all I got in return was a stick or an aloe leaf. I really can't see the stud market plummeting to the point where people will accept near-useless items in exchange for cubs with their king's special base/marks/whatever. Our own greed says that scenario is really, really unlikely xD

I do not like this idea.
I like the simple SB or GB option.

For popular studders, it could cause a lot of spam/lots of items to look for.

However, if it was toggle-able... then I would fully support it.
And.. if it was more like raffles instead of trades.

I wouldn't want someone offering items I don't want, so I'd add items I DO want and if they offer then I accept.
^^ I get you tried to add this but maybe go more in depth

So if it was toggle-able, and if they were able to set what items, then I would support.

^^ if you like this idea maybe add it to the main thread so the admins know?

How would minimum stud fee be calculated when using items?

@Kraft, It would be like the monkey shop when you sell items. The items would have to either a) add up to the amount the stud would be normally calculated via the system, b) It would be a # of items the stud wants, such as 20 Fire Opal Gems.

I'd say if I wasn't thinking "not all items have prices"...
but because monkey price does have prices for everything, it's not too bad of an idea Timid^^

@Ashri Thank you! I know items like gems don't have sb prices, honestly i'd have to say it should be up to the discretion of the admins possibly , or the stud can just say "I want 20 Fire Opal Gems." and so forth.

The monkey undercuts things by a huge amount and doesn't buy things such as event decor. If my 10 mark stud has a minimum 250sb fee, how would those items be valued?

Not disagreeing with the suggestion, only thinking of limits.

My fear is if the stud decides the number of items, we will have people bypassing the minimum stud fee limit by offering their boy for 1 Gem, or 1 Herb.

I only agree with this IF - and only IF - the stud can choose what specific types of items they accept. That way the studs wouldn't just be getting random twigs and aloe leaves or something.
Maybe you already tried to say this in your post, but it isn't very clear to me...?

Perhaps items like common decors/explore items wouldn't be accepted or you need x amount of said decors + the remaining sb. Like say, you want 10 Of the insect decors. They're 1 sb each. You give 10 of the decor and pay the rest in silver beetles or find another item they may want that will cover the cost.

@Phoenix Yes that was what I was trying to get it, I can also rewrite a much more easier to understand form of it.
