[ Hear me out, hear me out. ]


Gnawrocks are a pretty important and well used breeding item - especially when breeding rosettes. They also have more uses per breeding than a buffalo scrotum (only one ball per breeding, but a breeding can use two gnawrocks).

Buffalo balls currently have two months that you can obtain them in. February, which is their main month and where they are easiest to get, and August, where they exist to give the stocks a little bump but are pretty costly compared to everything else in the event.

My suggestion is to give gnawrocks a bumping month like buffalo balls have - that month being April. The idea isn't that you can stock up on like 100. The idea is to just give their in-game numbers a boost - especially now that hybrid season is over.




Option One:
Completing Wenets questline (personal - per account) and opening the shop + spring fully (community) would grant an account 1 ochre gnawrock. This would limit the amount each player could earn to 2 (1 per account). Important: This would not just be given to every account automatically. You would have to hit a button on the event page to claim it. This makes it so only active users get the reward.



Option Two:
(This one is considered limited because there is a limit to how much HP you can earn because you can only take 1 quest per RO)
Put them in Wenets shop. Probably for around 40HP each.
If you do wenet's quests every day and buy nothing else youll end on 62-64HP. And the primordial Spring quest gives you an extra 25. If my calculations are right, and you do all possible quests every day, you'll end on about 89HP per account (May vary by 2-4HP). That's about 1-2 per account. This option would put pressure on Roasted Lambs since they're also a shop exclusive.




Give me your thoughts. If you don't support I would love to know why.

Support! Gnaws being in April also gives Yolks (and, to a degree, Roasted Lambs) competition for resources, hopefully allowing those to retain more value over the year/have fewer stored on accounts for ages. As of right now those are the only two things of interest other than Decor, which makes them easy to stockpile if you know what you're doing. Gnaws would cut into that and hopefully also cause EE as a currency to be given more value.

That's a good point I considered, but did not include in the post. Mind if I quote you?

I’d say 450 EE as a nice inbetween for pricing, but overall a support!

Thanks for the support and input on overall price. I'm leaving it as an open range for the sake of discussion so I love hearing input on the numbers, so long as it stays within the range (400 reasonable min, 600 reasonable max).

So long as prices are high enough or there's a limit per account, I'll support. I've been exploring with the mask on and off for both eggs and flowers, and have nearly 300 eggs, so I think 600 should be the minimum price. I'd even say increase it a bit.

With the wenet option, which I'm still not a fan of, there would be a limit of 2 max per player (1 per account), but that would also mean people could earn them with minimal work.

My hope is that with high enough prices, and given there is a high demand for yolks - which can only be event-purchased this month, they'll limit themselves. If you get 100 currency a day this month, at 500ee each you could only get 1 gnaw every 5 days (double if you get that on each account). But that's assuming you keep up that total every day, and don't buy anything else. I would consider 600ee still reasonable, but tbh I wouldn't encourage pricing higher than that. We want them to be sparse, but we don't want it to be super discouraging.

I do appreciate the input tho. Good discussions.

I actually wouldn't mind this, despite the fact that I kind of rant and ramble about things getting devalued, but... Unlike things like mutations, markings aren't necessarily supposed to be hard to pass down so I don't see any real issue with lowering the price of Gnawrocks slightly by releasing them a little more often. If anything, it may encourage people to do breed-only marking kings more often, because using Gnawrocks can help reduce frustration if you're breeding multiple breed only marks + a Special breed-only base + a potentially very hard to pass mark (i.e. Rosette).

tl;dr: I'm all for things being cool and valuable, but I don't really think Gnawrocks have to be 50+ GB. I think that's an unnecessary price, so I'm okay with these being released during another event.

Yep yep. I don't even use the things, I collect gnaws when they're available to sell, and I think their price is a bit out of hand.

With all the neat new rosettes, even I, who hated them, have found a few to like. So it seems fair that their stock is a bit more accessible for the probably more folks that want to add a rosette to a design, or whatever.

Completely agree. To be honest I don't really participate much in April given the lack of items aside from decor for EE. Like yeah you can get EE, but those seem to be more for a bump for Mays event, and people don't seem to care for May that much. If you're not into stats or into decor the best you can hope for is to sell your currency which always seems like a pain to me; like it's cute but only goes so far interest-wise

Allowing some form of bump, no matter how small it is, to the amount of gnaws would be incredibly useful, especially after the most breeding-heavy month. I'd be happy with 400-500 EE as a price, as I think that's pretty reasonable as long as youre getting on once per day. It'll encourage more participation in this event, especially for people who don't typically care about decor or the one stats item available.

I support. I agree with all points gone over and having better availability for the gnawrocks would be nice.
