" You can already clone your lead's looks by choosing to keep your old lion's looks when crowning your heir. "

Idk about you, but the thought of the successor to the throne just morphing into their precessor irks me and pushes me the wrong way

But many, many players don't strictly view this game from that same personal roleplay perspective -- there's a whole established in-game economy to consider with decisions like these. There's nothing wrong with liking to do things a certain way for your own pride's narrative, but regardless, something like this, if implemented, could be disastrous on the lion market, for reasons others have mentioned. It would negatively impact how a ton of people prefer to play the game.

There’s already a chance for kings to clone all of thier marks, my side king’s original dad had all the exact same marks!

Not gonna lie, if there was an item that could clone a king's looks, I'd shut down my studding the moment it was implemented.
People work hard to get their kings the way they want them, and some people even have kings that are identical to raffle lionesses.
I know I (and a chunk of the userbase, going off of the no supports and some replies) would hate it if someone cloned my king, which I worked hard to obtain and get just right, with just an item- especially if they ended up kinging that lion themselves, which some users would likely do (especially if the cloned king was a cloned raffle lioness).

The cloning item exists for females, who have a far more limited breeding window (with a roughly 20-day / almost 2 in-game year cooldown, if you cannot afford yohimbe barks), as opposed to the male's ability to breed as often as he has energy. It's a lot easier to 'clone' a king via breeding project than it is to clone a lioness due to this, and if you wanted to keep your king's looks, there is an option in the retirement page to do so.

I'd guess to prevent it is to restricting uses of the item to *YOUR* own king???

Even if the item was to clone your own king, it will massively impact the market. Take for an example there is an rlc king. The king will be able to cloned endlessly, making clones more widespread which would destroy the market more than it already has.

no support - I'd be pretty upset if someone got my exact king for the price of a crunchy when I spent over 2000 on him lmfao

(and no support cause of the other reasons listed by others)

The item will be restricted to use ONLY with your OWN king. It will not be able to be used on another player's king. You can only use it on your own king due to the drop-down box will only have your king as the "use on" drop-down box.

Yes, but for that to happen you either didn't want to clone it OR you pray to your afterlife that the RNG gives you a clone of your king.

Both are fully RNG based and you have NO REAL way to do it easily

you could still clone a lion an infinite amount of times, even if it's restricted to your own king. no support.. also, many people sell extremely valuable lions from their lines as patrolled & king only, specifically to prevent cloning. what happens then?

Why would you need to make a clone of your own king when you can keep their appearance when retiring them?

Keeping appearance is only restricted to males -- I'd think OP also wanted female clones of your own king.
It also is restricted to only your own king -- what if you wanted a submale clone who patrols and such instead of lead the pride? What if you wanted a female clone? Both of these could be workaround-ed by breeding a simple clone of your king, which comes back to the point in which that is fully RNG based, which you need to either not mean to get lucky, or pray to your pantheon that your cub will have the king's looks
