Add an item that allows a non-breeding male to sire a litter

I LOVE this idea!! support.

You can't sex-change a wolf if it is a lead, breeding male, or if it has been bred already.

@greahound

oops, didn't already know that (dang and ive been on this game for a long time) then yeah, support haha (but I mean it wouldnt be applicable to breeding males)

I think this is a great idea! Support!

It would bring in another reason for spend GC (always good for the devs!), and gives males more of a use.

As others have already said, I think the GC price is way too high. I'd highly prefer it to be an SC item myself.

And as others have said again, I don't like this option at all. I'd want males to be able to breed within the pack, without excessive restrictions like cooldowns, pairings, overly expensive items... But if this ends up being the only option on the table, then sure, it's better than nothing.

Going to jump on the 'better than nothing' train. If the devs won't let us breed all males free of charge as it should be - 'it hurts the studs' is an invalid argument, as there will always be a stud market for the newest and greatest thing - then it's better to have some option to increase genetic variety.

I also agree 10GC is too high. Not even for right now - right now, it's relatively reasonable at about 700-900SC. However, inflation is dangerous and can get costly very quickly. I am not going to eventually pay 5000SC+ just to breed one male once and have a risk of not only him producing only one single puppy instead of five, but said puppy being a potato despite my efforts. For that 5000SC, I could breed 25 females to outside 10M studs - you know there will always be people who set their males to the lowest possible breeding price.

I know it's a long way off, but I also know the likelihood of the GC price of any Grove item being lowered in the future is practically zero. It would be better as a set SC item in the raccoon shop than a GC item whose value is only going to be pushed up and out of the average player's reach at some point.

I think this is a wonderful solution to the problem with males wolves. The only thing I'd say is I agree with it being 3 gc like the other breeding items as well, or at most 5-6 gc? 10 seems a bit much for this, in my opinion.

While I think this idea is interesting, I personally think we should just be able to change our breeding males periodically (maybe each week?) - not at the end of their lives. If this idea is never considered/denied from the devs, I think it shouldn't be an item, more like just a fee you can pay on the breeding menu.

I support this!

I've been struggling between trying to find a male of my own to stud. I currently am deciding between two males that I want to use. I want to pass along both of their genes but sadly, we can only use one male out of a WHOLE pack, just to breed. I could easily settle on one for a stud if I got at least one chance to use the other- such as which your idea would support. I don't want to make either of them a female, but I still want to use both of them. It's a struggle, LOL!
