The vast majority of chased lions are probably NCLs some user has no use for so unless they go into a different pool, it's entirely possible you just trade a true chased for another two marked plain jane.

All in all dont see the point of this item.

"Chased" merely means a lioness that was Chased by a user to join the chased pool, correct? It does not guarantee any special traits or markings?
I'm just thinking of the case where a player has chased a game-generated ncl (which we can really only tell when a basic ncl shows up from explore with an age range outside of what the game normally generates, for example) & she pops up in-game for someone else as a 'chased'

I can see this causing some confusion for players who use a Korobela on a clearly chased lioness (like, one with recognizable marks that aren't available in the generated ncl pool) and there are chased available from the pool (they don't get the notice that 'If there are no chased lionesses in the pool to grab, you will be notified, and the item will be returned to your inventory.') and then gets what they think is a basic ncl (but is actually technically chased since someone chose to chase her from their territory instead of foddering through Kill or Nature Reserve, which both cost energy unless you have the corresponding 'no energy used' Main Lion personality)...

It might be a niche case but you can be sure the player would be surprised/appalled to see a Chased offered/splashed with Korobela turn into a 1-mark ncl.

They wouldn't know if their 5% chance of encountering a Chased by using Korobela yielded a less than ideal result, after use on a basic ncl, unless there's a tag labelling her as such.

It's ultimately up to the player chasing & what's in the pool at the time, but is certainly not the special item use this update intended.



Edit: I just previewed & submitted to see the same thought shared in the post directly above- that's a much more succinct way of putting it.

My thinking is that, although the adding raffle lionesses to the Chased pool did seem to be a very unpopular suggestion, the mechanic that prevents a user from finding a lioness they previously chased could easily be taken advantage of by chasing a full dens' worth of plain jane ncls, thus clogging up everyone else's chased pool while leaving the slate open for you to sit there refreshing until the special one appears.

(I'm sharing as someone who normally has my Main with March personality applied so I can Nature Reserve without using energy, and am planning to have energy-type personalities on Main & Side instead in future months so am pondering how to keep doing Old Lioness quests without waiting for cheap fodder trades to sell or inundating the chased pool with basic ncl. Right now i'm just taking the 5% energy loss, but I won't be doing that in September or October. While 0 or low marking count ncls are helpful when trying to pass specific traits for breeding projects, and Special ncl based lionesses are cool, I don't think many want to see those or a common 1-2 mark show up in place of a Chased or better)

This might be the intended use (to give a purpose to the item) but it could also be done when a player chases a super special lioness with a known timestamp & the Catnip boosted players set up to try & find her.
A crafted item might somewhat level the playing field there as you no longer need to sit there Energy Boost'ing as multiple lioness encounters come through,
'just' encounter a single chased & be prepared to refresh....

Maybe limit to 1 Korobela use per encounter?
Or 5 per day?

Or, if the intention is a water item sink, keep it unlimited but change the chased pool into bred vs Special base/ unique ncl trait generated ncl?
Don't know.

If unlimited that's fine too just didn't want to be without any suggestions

This... Thank you so much for listening I really appreciate it! Though one thing If you make the rl system I would make sure the korebela doesn't up that chance. I know that already rich humans who are gonna spam explore trying to get it. BUT honestly from the bottom of my heart I appreciate this update and thank you for listening and getting a response out to us.

I do appreciate y'all giving the korobela item better use, but I still have concerns about it (@SiRah and @Jax pretty much summed up my discontent very well). I don't know if I will be using this item myself, as it seems like a gamble I don't feel like risking, but at least it has some use now; that's much better than what it was before Depending on how the community takes the item, I don't even know if it would be worth crafting, considering it uses 75 herbs; like I'm not going to craft to try to sell it if the item is only going for like 300 SB, but if it's going for at least a couple GB maybe it'll be worthwhile to craft and sell. But personally, I still am not too happy about this item, but at least it's not completely worthless anymore.

I do also wish the mushroom brew would have been in this update, because -1 energy for each breeding attempt for ONE SINGULAR breeding kinda seems pointless imo, when items like black stallions and chasteberries exist. Maybe if the mushroom brew was -1 per breeding attempt for the whole rollover it would be more worthwhile! But the way it is now, especially with it being a drop from the mysterious stranger (which is already an incredibly rare explore encounter), it just doesn't seem worth it. I would have expected a slightly better item drop from that very rare encounter than just the mushroom brew (with how it's mechanic is currently). I think this item has potential, but not how it works currently.

I totally appreciate that most of this comes down to a player's choice of how to play the game, and appreciate even more crafted options & literal water herb item sinks

If the caveat that you can't find a Chased lioness that you chased
&
Not every chased lioness makes it into the Chased pool,

was added to prevent users from trying to bring her right back into heat (Dreamboat) & even clear her heritage (though I know there's no official stance on clean/inbred/etc as those are player-made terms)...
& we have the in-game protection when we find cool chased lionesses that we're not supposed to ask for other players' assets or try to control what others do with their assets (So, you can offer a reward for return but nothing can be done if the player doesn't see your post or want to 'return' her)...

Shouldn't something be done about the ability to clog up everyone else's Chased pool while leaving the pool of possibility open for yourself?

Was this 'soft added' & there's actually a mechanic where every chased you chase after a certain # per day would automatically be deleted ? (This would be very sad news indeed for players who specifically raise high-quality chased Lionesses to add to the chased pool, as their efforts would've been mostly in vain D: )

I feel like one use case of the Korobela regenerating 5% chased & a chased for a chased is to allow other players looking for an announced chased that we're hoping makes it back through a better chance at finding her...
but when you add in the basic ncl clogging chased & clogging others without clogging yours I feel like it's unbalanced again.

It's a never ending cycle, i'm sorry the thought didn't occur until now. ^^'
