Howdy Everyone!

TLDR: change the Korobela item from a one time NCL switch to a timed chased lioness boost (like the catnip item).


This is regarding the new item Korobela,

First of all, I want to really share my appreciation of staff for listening to us with the adjustments of new items, and for the implementation of these new items! I think an item that helps in claiming chased lions is a great addition. However, I know a lot of players are having issues with the current implementation of the Korobela, primarily with the rate of getting a chased (or a decent chased) versus the cost of the item. I think there's a lot of contention because the item is expensive to make for one shot at a new chased. I think that changing the item so that instead of switching an NCL, it would instead boost the chance for encountering a chased NCL over 15 minutes (or some other set amount of time), similar to that of catnip. That way, players get more than one theoretical shot (to minimize disappointment), increases the perceived worth of the item (making crafting worth it), and timed nature of the item could result in additional GB spent on energy boost for the site, as well as GB for increased territory.

Now, there very well may be a reason this isn't implemented like this. It may be unbalanced or not feasible to code in. I'm not sure how the back end works. There may also be other issues, so I welcome feedback from everyone!

Thank you for your time!
