If you are an avid BO breeder, you probably have used an Opal Saltlick and Rock Salt once or twice.
Or, a lot. TONS of them, often both on the same lion.
So, to make using them a bit easier, why not have a combo item that combines their effects?

My idea, the Kalahari Salt Rock!



This item would be bought at Monkey Business for 700sb (or maybe a little cheaper? 650? 600?)

Description:
"Give this mineral to your chosen lion/stud to make their next litter inherit the eye colour and the skin colour from the parent you chose."


Bonus QoL change for Opal Satlick/Rock Salt:
After using a Opal Saltlick/Rock Salt (and in addition, Kalahari Salt Rock) on a lion, please let the flavor text link to the lion you used it on! Like literally any other special use item already does.



This suggestion has 56 supports and 13 NO supports.

I will have to unfortunately not support this suggestion. The combined breeding item makes the opal saltlick and rock salt redundant as users will just buy the double feature unless they want just the eyes/skin. While I see the purpose of it, opal saltlicks and rock salts are sold separately to add cost to a guaranteeing item - they're actually relatively cheap, they just of course add up which is why traits are ideally the last things you go for as opposed to markings!

edit: although i am open to changing my mind!

I'm failing to see the argument here.
So you think Random Marking Replacers were a bad idea to add to the game? Because they make Random Marking Applicators "redundant"?

And 700sb is the combined value of 1 Opal Saltlick and 1 Rock Salt, the Kalahari Salt Rock wouldnt be cheaper.

Support; there's no hurt in this item at all tbh.
As you said it's the same price as using a Opal Saltlick + Rock Salt anyways.

Really just saves a few extra clicks

as i mentioned, I'm fully open to changing my mind, but I didn't mean in any way for my comment to cause offense, or to have a blunt reaction in return. I just needed more explanation.
To put it simply, RMAs and RMRs are items that go hand-in-hand, without causing redundancy. If you fail to get a nice marking, just replace it without having to spend money to remove it, costing you less money. That makes sense.

I also didn't mention anything to do with your suggested idea being 'cheaper' and if it's the same price, i still don't see the need for it personally as you could just buy the two items... for the same price? I'm failing to understand what the point would be for it if its:
A. equal in value, so you could buy both items to do the same function for the same price.
B. it guarantees the exact same - a skin and eye colour pass.

I'm a little sick and haven't slept properly for a while, so if you could please explain why this is a necessary/separate item other than it being a combination with the same purpose and of the total combined price, it'd be much appreciated. /lh

I think it should be the same price as buying the two items separately would be, so that there's no deliberate "advantage" to buying these instead. Like how random markings replacers are 2 GB, the exact cost of buying a random markings applicator and removal

@Ricky
Like Terrinthia already said, RMRs are a combination of 2 items (the RMA and Marking Replacer) with the same purpose of the total combined price.
RMRs were introduced to the game to make mass RMAing easier. Its a couple less clicks and tabs you have to open to buy and apply the items now.
The Kalahari Salt Rock wouldn't be any different. If you so chose you can just buy one of the items if you need it, but if you have breeding projects that needs you to apply both Opal Saltlick and Rock Salt constantly, one item that combines them would simply be easier to manage.

that kind of makes the other two items pointless unless you want only one effect

It does not make the other items pointless. If you want moms skin, but dads eyes, then this item would not work. In breeding projects, it's common for different traits to be on different lions.

I support! This could be really convenient to users, and there's other combination items so I don't see any issue.

I like this idea a lot, but I think it should definitely cost the full 700sb and not be discounted (the same as buying the two items separately), same with the random marking replacer. Otherwise 100% support
