✪ Summary:

This suggestion is being pushed along with this one to improve cub trade-ins.

When the Gorilla Enclave was first implemented, it was new and it was exciting! Shiny and neat! The dev team faced a question, I imagine. "What do we include as prizes?" Back in these early days of the Enclave first being open, it was stuffed with all manner of items that you can find across Lioden. Perhaps the most tempting was the Applicators and Raffle Backgrounds. But with the addition of more and more Enclave exclusive items, the rest of the things in there not only seem superfluous, but also ... over priced?

Seriously, did this get glossed over? Let's do a breakdown.

In the Enclave, you can buy every single Pose on Lioden.

You can also buy Random Marking Applicators (henceforth "RMA").

But how does 120 Monkey Teeth compare to the value of a GB?

Well let's take a look at the next lowest item, Eye Applicators. Here's the Nebula Eyes Applicator.

Okay so what's the current (at the time of posting this) going price?

Oh... that's a bit more expensive than 1 Gold Beetle... Okay how about the Zoisite Eyes Applicator?

So we've come to establish that some things in the Enclave are a *bit* overpriced (a lot overpriced, actually). Why is this a concern? Well, new players, mostly. New players often do not know the value of items, and might forget that Oasis offers a fairly decent selection. A player coming in here might see that they can get a pose for their lioness for 120 MT and think that's great!! ... Until they finally do, and realize they have wasted WEEKS of effort on something they could have very easily gotten for very, very little effort by comparison. What's more, it may potentially be upsetting to learn that they could have spent it on an item worth far more and that chance is now lost, instead having to do all of that work over again.

The prices of these items need to be severely adjusted. Here's some others that are overpriced.

Literally nobody wants Human Liver if your name isn't Hannibal Lecter. The 60 MT vs 50 SB price on this one is probably the most offensive one out of the bunch. Ew!

✪ What I Am Proposing:

[+] A price overhaul of several items available in the Gorilla Enclave, or outright removing them from the list of available items.

I've supplied my thoughts on where a more appropriate price for each would be.

➤ Black Stallion: 50 MT
➤ Random Marking Applicator: 40 MT
➤ Poses: 25 MT
➤ Lion Meat: 100 MT
➤ Roasted Vulture: 50 MT
➤ Shamanic Stew: 50 MT
➤ Human Liver: 20 MT. The community considers it worth barely 200 SB at the time of this edit.

If you don't support, I'd like to know why. I appreciate constructive criticism over a simple "no".



This suggestion has 488 supports and 6 NO supports.

I have to agree, things like poses and such are over prices.

Also, this is kinda sad but I didn't even know Human Livers were in the game until now.

As someone that uses human livers on the reg... Why is that item there? It is literally the most useless piece of junk, and it's only tricking new players into thinking they're getting something useful or valuable.

Human liver. Explore drop. I wish MT dropped in explore too.

Sorry Anthrax, but no way! I don't want Monkey Teeth to be found while exploring.
I do think we should clear out the Enclave though! I don't see why we have livers and stallions there.

I don't know about MT in explore. Perhaps during a certain month only, and then only 1 at a time on an uncommon encounter, otherwise it might speed up the devalue of items that the market hasn't already killed.

Human Liver just needs to be given a new side use, imo. Worthless goddamn item.

Thanks for all the support so far! We hit thirty real fast. <3

Monkey teeth just need to be easier to get if the prices stay the same. So instead of only getting 2 for an easy quest you get 5. Enclave items cost way too much either way though nobody wants to pay 80mt for a shamanic stew when in november you can get it in like 2 days of exploring rather than weeks of gorilla quests. I don't even do the quests anymore since the rewards aren't even worth the effort.

I want to support, but at the same time, only if no items are removed. Just because some people don't think an item should be in the Enclave, doesn't mean that everyone sees it the same way. In the end, it is a shop. You can CHOOSE what you want to spend your currency on. If you don't want, say the livers or stallions, then that's your choice, but someone else might want to buy them. Unlike something like the random prize pools from the games.

That all said, I definitely agree on some of these items being repriced. And I'd find this a pretty reasonable suggestion overall, given how long it can take to get MT

ApocolyplticTendrils (#132610) :: The problem with this is it would lead for the actual unique, high tier rewards being devalued. That's why I'm trying to push for a revamp of the overpriced stuff rather than any sort of increase in MT earned. That said, I actually missed the Shamanic Stew so I'll adjust it's price to match the Roasted Vulture. Thanks for the feedback. <3

Raikalu (#112933) :: I actually do agree with you. It'd be better to just to the price overhaul, since there might be people who would prefer to buy these things if more affordable. I'll take out the "getting rid of them" part. Thank you for the feedback. <3

I think those prices are more of a balance... Poses are expensive so that there aren’t 1billion poses out there which drives down the GB price... etc. I won’t vote because I’m on the fence about it. Definitely something I’ll be following, interesting topic.

🎄 Uma is Grinchy🎄 (#98408) :: Poses are one of the cheapest items available on Lioden that are for customizing lions. Because they are sold in the Oasis, they actually have a fixed price. Nobody will sell over 1 GB or else they won't sell. So that doesn't actually impact them at all.

I was thinking more of, like, people quit paying for the Oasis ones and instead spend 2-300 SB on fodder cubs... more common poses that are cheap and easy to get can’t be good for the economy

🎄 Uma is Grinchy🎄 (#98408) I'm not sure I follow. There's a fixed ceiling on these poses for how high they can sell. They are always cheaper, never worth much.

This is the current amount of poses in game as of me posting this:

f002e4dd0b34a8f4ebb4e8669d2383db.png

And this is the only one currently for sale:

I feel like this isn't going to impact anything at all, to be frank...

It's not that hard to get, honestly! I'm able to do hard challenges almost everyday, and I already have 500+ ;o;
What I really want though? I want more exclusive Gorilla Enclave stuff 0':
