not exactly sure which board to put this under?? so I'm just gonna put it here. I was surprised to not have found anyone suggesting this

With the new items released in the September treasure hunt, it got me thinking. We've got all these great items like hyena butter, sanafica, siren's call, catnip, n such to help us change the encounters we get in explore. But y'know what we don't have? Something just like that to disable (or decrease the amount of) battle encounters! Me personally, I get annoyed trying to get event currency or do a quest, and I just keep getting battles instead of anything useful. I do have an idea for what the item itself could be!

Of course, it would match the 15 minute timeframe of everything else. While I do enjoy the thought of it completely disabling battles, I feel like that would be wayyyy too overpowered . So I feel like only decreasing the amount of battle encounters you get would be a better, more fair option. I mean, some people will just be looking for a fight sometimes, even if you're so darn cute

Pretty Flower (placeholder name) - With this flower in your mane, everyone thinks you're just too cute to fight! decreases the amount of battle encounters in explore for 15 minutes

Of course, it would not apply to lioness encounters, or the cub encounter, or anything like em. since they're not purely battles

If you've got any thoughts on this, I'd love to hear it!
