I'm not sure if this is the right place but I had a probably not very new idea in mind where there is a fairly expensive Monkey Business item called the Marking Shuffler where it's unlike the other shufflers and shuffle a lions existing markings around in different spots
I'm not sure if such an item already exists but it would be really cool to have an option to shuffle your favorite lions markings in hopes you can stack other markings on them without completely covering existing markings!



This suggestion has 3 supports and 12 NO supports.

Support, it sounds interesting. Question, though? Would it leave stuff like Mottled Rosettes, Mottled Stripes, other slot-specific marks alone?

I would assume not, though if we want to get serious, maybe the owners of this game could make a GB version where you get to choose which marking you want to shift around instead!

Items that swap around markings have been suggested many times and shot down many times. These kinds of suggestions make rare slots and some breeding projects pointless and sort of sap the point of raffle lionesses, who are made to spread new, rare traits. Markings can't really be that rare if you can just swap a common slot for a brand-new one and mass-breed. And this item just shuffles, sure, but it's still a likely possibility.

I'd support new ways to obtain rare slots... like very rarely from NCLs or raffle studs and/or multiple raffle lionesses, but not an item.

Not what I'm talking about here, I'm talking switching around existing traits the lion has
Like how you can toggle items on your lion on how they are viewed, no traits are changed at all but shuffled about in how they are viewed

I'm... not sure I understand? You want to visually switch the order of the markings without actually changing the genetics?

Yes! Example, a lion has Water Hyacinth Margay and Cloudburst Brindle but Brindle covers Margay, what if with Marking Shuffler you had a chance to change that?

Do you want the markings to change what slots they're in?

Like, if water hyacinth margay is slot 3 and cloudburst brindle is slot 7, you want the item to have a chance of making water hyacinth margay slot 7 and cloudburst brindle slot 3? (Or otherwise making the margay appear above the brindle?)

Precisely! It simply shuffles around existing traits the lion has, nothing more, nothing less! Nothing game breaking what so ever!

Ah, okay, so that is actually exactly what I was talking about in my first comment. What slot a marking is in is really important to the lion, so still no support, sorry. </3 Some people play the game around their rare marking slots, and having the ability to change the marking slots would be game-breaking.

Some markings are breed-only, and you cannot apply them except rarely (0.5% top of my head) with random marking applicators or random marking replacers. Some breed-only markings are super rare or nonexistent in certain slots. I bred my king from scratch with a marking slot that had less than 10 living lions when I got it, and that's part of what makes breeding fun and worthwhile for lots and lots of players.

Ohhh, my bad, huh... I didn't realize it was that big of a thing, I'm kinda new so I'm still learning a lot, I didn't know some slots were dependant on where rare traits would be, thank you for explaining that!

Right, I gotcha. Now for applicator markings it might not be all that big a deal? Since you can apply them anyway... But I'm not sure about all that as much!
