I'm actually not sure which Game Development subforum to post this on LOL

Marble Berries, as well as its crafted item, Marble Mush, kind of suck. In their current state, they are heavily flawed. The crafting recipe requires SO MANY of them while also being extremely difficult to get as tournament trophies for the vast majority of players, and their actual effect is too mediocre to be worth crafting it.

I mean, come on - Marble Mush gives you a 10% energy boost, making it essentially equivalent to 1/10 of the Oasis Energy Boost which costs 2 GB. In theory it's worth 200 SB, if we use a 1000 SB = 1 GB ratio. But after a quick look on branches, Marble Berries are listed at 120-150 SB each - for a full set of 40 required to craft Marble Mush, that would cost like 5000 SB, or 5-6 GB, if the berries are all purchased at their current lowest price.

Here are the loser and winner trophies according to the Wiki:

So, to get Marble Berries, you need to win a tournament fight, and then you may get any one of the winner trophies within that pool. More often than not, on the rare occasions that my lion wins a fight, I get some other item like small tortoise lol.

I have a couple ideas to improve it in some way or another:

> Decrease the number of Marble Berries required to craft from 40 to 10(?)
OR
> Increase the amount of energy it gives from 10% to 100%


> Have more winner trophies rewarded in tournaments.
---- 50% chance of winning a trophy in round 1
---- 100% chance of winning a trophy in round 2, 50% chance of winning a second trophy
---- 100% chance of winning two trophies in round 3, 50% chance of winning a third trophy
OR
---- 50% chance of winning a trophy in round 1
---- 75% chance of winning a trophy in round 2, 25% chance of winning a second trophy
---- 100% chance of winning a trophy in round 3, 50% chance of winning two trophies in round 3, 25% chance of winning a third trophy

> Add Marble Berries to the loser trophy pool as well.

> Also add loser rewards to ALL tournament rounds


The numbers I chose aren't set in stone, they can be decided by the devs of course!
