It is (currently) the middle of June and I find myself exhausted as I try to get enough currency to get bases from the June shop. For a while I wondered why June always seemed so much worse with motivation. Was it because it simply came after the May groupie grind? Or was there another issue.

There is, June's currency grind is not equal to the currency gained. Nor is it keeping up with the additional bases to the shop.

Let's break it down with the events up to now.

The currency listened is about what you get with each encounter.

1.January: 1-3 LB. Highest value item was 201 LB.
2.February: 1-4 HS, leans towards 1. Bases are 200 HS when released, then lower to 150 HS. (With some down to 100 HS)
3.March: 1-5 RB. Bases are 120 RB
4.April: 1-2 EE. 20 EE per Egg Yolk. (No bases available).
5.May: 1-3 MB. Tournaments can gain you 5-6 MB each round you win. The lion scrotums are 400 MB. Bases are 250 MB.
6.June: 2 KB. Bases are 400 KB. Every encounter is a fight.

There's a clear pattern here. Now, what makes this month so different? Why does June feel so unbalanced? It's because all we're doing is fighting. The one encounter we get that isn't fighting that gives one KB, was just added this year. For a full energy bar, you are lucky to get perhaps 6-8 KB. For one base, you need to fight 200 Chthonic Snakes. To put that into perspective, if you do not have the Stoic personality you would need 20 full energy bars if you're lucky enough to encounter them every time you step.

What solutions do we have?

1. Adding non-combat encounters. Flesh out the current environment. Animals dealing with the earthquakes and sandstorms. The fear of the serpent, maybe even conversations with the deity you aligned with. Simply adding encounters that could give 1-2 KB that show the world other than "Scary evil thing attacks again!" could really make June not feel so repetitive.
2. Lower base prices. Even if it's only 100 or 50 KB. Every year there's 3 new bases added, people are not able to keep up with the amount of bases at this point with the price point.
3. Vary the currency reward from Chthonic Snakes. Bumping up the amount we gain from a solid two to 2-4 could help remedy the currency issue. Solutions 1 and 3 together could help make June feel fuller and less repetitive.
