February Tips and Links
The basic technique for February is to grind, use the flirt function, and efficiently use as much energy as possible. February is by far the biggest event on Lioden, and the one where anyone can make tons of GB.



Explore Encounters
For explore encounters, check the wiki to choose the option with the biggest HS reward.
DO NOT DO ANY BATTLE ENCOUNTERS for Heart Shells! The 10% energy loss for battling isn't worth it, and many of the battle encounters have a non-battle option to get HS.


Flirting
Part of the event is you can flirt every 15 minutes for HS and slap incoming flirts within 15 minutes for HS. If you have free time, set a timer for less than 15 minutes so you can flirt every 15 and slap all incoming flirts. You can get a huge amount of HS this way. Every year I lie to my roommates that I'm doing time blocking for productivity so they don't think I'm weird. Interesting enough, I do tend to be more productive.




Energy Guide (clickable)

Bone Marrow grants 20% energy for 80sb from Monkey Business, use once a day.

Roasted Lambs can be purchased from other players. Do not pay above 6 or it is more cost efficient to just purchase energy boosts.

Energy Root grants 100% energy for 2GB from the Oasis. Borderline not worth it if you can buy 20HS for 2Gb. If HS price rises about 10HS = 1GB, it might be worth it.

Meat Pie grants 100% energy five times and is gifting to players on their signing up anniversary. Similar to Energy Root, only buy if per use is 2GB or less, and be sure to check uses. They're often not sold at good deals so barely worth your effort to purchase.

Take DIFFICULT Gorilla Enclave Quest for 60% Energy. Most cubs can easily be bought in trading center for less than 100. I can not stress this enough, because MT can then be sold for GB.

Consider changing your personality to Hyperactive, which grants "daily button to gain 30% energy if energy below 70%". The mask to change can be bought at personality snake for 400sb. If you are claiming a lot of NCLs, you can also use the Candid personality to get 3% energy back with each claim.

Energy Saving

Hyena Butter lowers the chance for NCL encounters in explore for 100sb from Monkey Business, cost is likely only worth it if you use more than a full bar. Examples, if you have a full energy bar then use a energy root, or level up your king, or complete enclave quest.

If you have any lionesses below 25% fertility that you must breed, chasteberry them up to at least 25% fertility. Energy is incredibly valuable this month, don't waste it on breeding difficult lionesses.

If there's a time to purge your pride, it's now. Don't want to be wasting energy breeding potatoes.

If you have an active stud, raise the fertility requirement. Energy is so valuable that breeding anything below 40-50% will be wasting currency.



Battling for SB
DO NOT DO IT. It’s a complete waste of HS. It’s cost 20HS to battle to get like 90sb, that same 20HS is worth 3GB during the event, which is at least 2,200 SB. Just sell the HS if you need GB/SB.



Heart Shell Selling/Buying Price
It currently appears to be at 7.5hs per 1GB, I don't see it dropping much lower than this as at a certain point it will be more cost efficient to buy Energy Boosts from the Oasis and farm HS.



What to Purchase
Please keep in mind that the outside of event sale price is just a projected price by Lioden veterans looking at historical data, and that the market is unpredictable and these projections can be incorrect.

Item: Lion Scrotum

Additionally Buying/Selling Tips
-Do not buy the stat items from the Shops, it's a waste of HS. If you buy Boabab Fruit from the shop I will eat your toes (just use a zebra heart).
-Don't buy tigon/leopon heats or use you HS for Yohimbes for heats unless you want a Tigon/Pon. In the long run, the 20 yohimbes will likely be worth more than a basic hybrid.
-If there's a lion or item you want you can likely use HS or breeding items to buy it as leverage to buy it.
-This is the time of year where hybrids are the cheapest.
-Some folks buy applicators and can turn for profit, but breeding items are a surer investment.
-Certain month-specific NCLs will sell for a little more, specially new BO eyes and piety marks.
-ALWAYS NEGOTIATE ONISTE.
