I have noticed that there is a distinct lack of event shops that offer stat-boosting food items. I am only aware of two months that sell them - February and April. This causes a 9 month span of time where you cannot acquire any stat boosting items from events. Because of the scarcity of event stat food items, some players may choose not to play for months on end and are thus unable to enjoy the events later on in the year. Players focused on stats sometimes have to pick and choose which events to play and which to avoid in order to maximize their ability to acquire useful stat foods. Some players will freeze accounts with stat foods on them in order to save them for later, but even that only works for so long since stat food items still expire in 10 days like all other food items.

This lack of availability of good stat-boosting food items in the later months is something I feel could be fixed. It would be beneficial for everyone to spread stat food items throughout more events. People would no longer have to worry as much about freezing food items or be concerned about their precious food items rotting on them. This would also help stat-focused players have more freedom to play other events and still acquire stat food items for their lions. Spreading stat food items throughout the year in many different events would help players who do not have the ability to grind as much during February or April. It would give these players more options and time to gather items throughout the year. In addition, players who do a lot of event grinding would be able to relax a bit during February and April since they would no longer have to worry about stat food items only being restricted to those two events. I feel like the best months to have stat food items in would be October and/or November.

For October, we could have a newt or similar food item in the Blood Beetle shop - something that sticks with the spooky theme for that month.

For November, I feel like some sort of root/herb would be a good food item since these items are already a major focus of the event.

These items could work like either an Egg Yolk or like a Honeycomb - whatever would make it most balanced. Or perhaps they could function differently than either item and be an entirely new stat food source!

I realize there is probably supposed to be somewhat of a scarcity as far as stat food items go, but I also feel like the availability of these items could be a bit more balanced than it is now. My aim isn’t to flood the market with these items or to make something too powerful, but rather to increase the availability of something that myself and other stat-focused players believe is currently lacking.
