So. Idk about anybody else, but I personally have a bajillion spoiled apples *EGGS - omg* sitting in my hatchery doing nothing. No one wants them. They don't get hatched. They just sit there. And Age.

SO

I was thinking... It would be cool if we made up a little character who was obsessed with mutant creatu and collected spoiled eggs from us to try hatch them. Then in his point shop (if there is one), maybe their can be a potion that turns your creatu into mutant? (or maybe even something new???) Maybe a potion that regenerates an egg back to fresh? Or Double mutant style wearable items, Special books about mutants etc... idk. My brain is kind of uncreative and dead at the moment. But this guy would definitely give us tu in return for our spoiled eggs.

This gives the spoiled eggs more of a purpose in the game, gives a reason to sell them and once all the hoarded spoiled eggs that people have just sitting there, will make them worth more as they will be circling through the game again instead of being stagnant.

EDITED IDEA AFTER CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK

He would work a little like The Enchanted Springs, Kir and The Botanist Quest put together.
We could chuck in a random chance game. When you hand in spoiled eggs, You have a chance of receiving the following:

- A point to spend in his shop
- The same egg but fresh
- A random amount of TU
- A spoiled egg squishy? or mutant squishy of the species you gave?
- A 'token of his appreciation' (Maybe 10 of these could amount to a point or something)
- Nothing

Then adding the enchanted springs tier game, the more consecutive days you do this, the better your chances are of getting the better prizes.

Each day he would be in search of a different species of egg and you need to hand in 10 of that egg at a time for a random prize.

He also accepts seasonal spoiled eggs at any time and they award 1 point each.

hmm I like the idea but if it were to happen the prizes would have to cost alot, he won't give much Tu at all and/ or the little guy only comes around every so oftern.

There are just so many spoiled eggs and its so easy to get a constant supply going that the prizes won't be worth squat and mutant prices will go down even more. People would probably use it as a main source of income, which isn't really a bad thing, it would be nice to get anouther way of making tu, but I cant really see this happening

Maybe just get a very tiny amount from deleting the eggs and some item that you can collect to make anouther mutant related item? Idk

I would say in neutral:D

 




Peace

Hmm. I would support this but I just think your idea needs a little improvement. I mean I think this could work under certain circumstances. So I am like Zen. Neutral.

I like the idea, but also have reservations about it. Spoiled eggs are so common and easily replenished, like Zen said, that the values of the new items would end up being worthless fairly quickly.

But perhaps this could work if the rewards are non-items (like random stat increases), and there was a limit to how many you could turn in. What if you're only allowed to turn in one egg per day, and you build up tiers, like the Enchanted Springs. Then after a couple weeks, when you've reached a certain tier, you have the chance of earning a random stat increase for your active creatu. If you forget to turn in a spoiled egg one day, your tier drops back down to zero, just like the Enchanted Springs. This might up the value of spoiled eggs slightly and get people to buy them from the Egg Marketplace on a daily basis, though it probably wouldn't affect their value much.

-or-

What if the reward was a fresh egg? Let's say you're allowed to turn in 5 spoiled eggs per day, and the reward is 1 fresh egg of the same type you turned in. The value of eggs wouldn't be impacted much, if at all. And you still get something useful out of it.

Still, these aren't pressing needs, so I'm not sure it's worth supporting. There are so many things we need much more.

Maybe the focus shouldn't be on the eggs, but on mutant creatu themselves. Kir currently does not ask for mutants, but maybe there should be some sort of quest that does ask for mutants to be turned in?

Hmmm, I support but yeah then prizes would be very common, Maybe when you gave a spoiled egg you had like 10% chance of getting a point to spend in the prize shop. So I am neutral.

Thanks again Poison!

And thank you everyone for your contribution! You all definitely brought up very valid points which help develop the idea more!

 RainOfStars - I really like your idea of it working in tier's like the enchanted springs. I've developed the idea in the original post =)

To make it a bit more tricky, this character could randomly pick an egg like Kir does pets?
