Of course Lioden isnt just an economical game but having money in the game sure does help so here are some tips that may save you SB and GB or help you make more!

1. Always check branches for values of different items, trade center can have some values that are a bit wonky sometimes but branches show cases more stable prices. Usually sell at the median of the branch price range of the item

2. Never sell your event items while the event is still up as the value will be considered much lower. I recommend waiting about 1-2 months after to sell it if you want the best selling prices

3. If youre looking to buy event items from other players make sure to buy them during the event as their value will be considered lower as they are easier to access during the month of their event

4. dont tree your cubs unless you really have to, sell them instead. You can sell low-value cubs for 5-25 SB. If your fodder cub fits the standards for the gorilla you can sell them for 35-100 SB as some people may want to buy them to exchange your cubs for monkey teeth (this also works for NCLS selling your NCLs for about 10-15 each can be a small income but it does add up especially if you have the lioness claiming quest.)

5. Make bundles in your hoard, if you struggling with saving SB and GB a good way to save up your SB and GB is to make bundles and avoid opening them unless truly necessary

6. try to avoid dirty breeding, most cubs that are considered "dirty" will go for less because a good chunk of players do not like to purchase or breed lions that have incestuous blood lines

7. Play games specifically Serengeti Shuffle, if you score 3500+ you have a chance to earn items that are worth up to about 3000 SB

8. Check giveaway caves if there are any lions you may want for breeding. (Please follow the rules set by the owners of adoption caves! They're being very generous giving people free lions that they could otherwise sell!)

9. send your lionesses out hunting, one at a time to maximize the amount you bring back. if you have a smaller pride extra food can sell for a pretty penny either through monkey business, or 100 uses for 1 on tc! (this was added by a lovely player named envy ty for the suggestion i forgot to add!)
