Gene Check is WAY too Expensive

I'll say this right away because it's immediately struck me and many others:

This is NOT an improvement!

150 SC is way, way above the amount anyone has ever needed to find out if their wolf is a carrier or not.

What about us checking NBWs? How in the world are we going to afford checking them now? We never spend more than 20 to 50 SC max per NBW.

Not to mention, checking adults usually only took up to five scries. You've raised the price for verifying wolves from 50 to 150. Who's going to spend 600 SC to check a litter of 4 pups?

Sure, you get a definite answer on your wolf's page, that's great, this would have been a wonderful change if the price reflected the range we usually paid. It should be no more than 50 SC.

The current market is not friendly enough to support anything above that. SC is too hard to come by.

Why remove scrying as well? This would have served NBW scryers just fine if it stayed. So we can choose how much to spend checking each of them, because the chance is so very, very low. 

This is not to mention the fact that carriers and muties are rapidly dropping in price. 150 SC is not going to be worth it next week if you're trying to sell a wolf.

Please rethink this.

A lot of people have mentioned this and I agree, it's nice that the bat checks for all three carrier genes as well as allowing you to confirm puppies, so here's my revised suggestion based on feedback:

Allow us to confirm whichever individual gene we want - Albinism, Melanism, Brachy, each for ~20 SC (let us choose which. It makes no sense to force us to pay for a check for all three if we just want to check an albinism descendant, for example) or 50 SC for all three if we so choose.

Remember that the vast majority of wolves won't carry anything, so spending 150sc on countless wolves for only a few carriers will add up far too fast. 

Regardless of that, please give us back muties in the scrying stone.

I think keeping it definitive and taking away the possibility of checking via the crying stone good, it seems fair to me and makes it harder to scam people who want a wolf with a mutation. However, I agree, it's far too expensive, 50sc is already more than enough and not hard to come across now with more games and a bit friendlier market. I spent almost all of my saved up sc to check 3 wolves, all non carriers 

Full support.

In an oversaturated and unfriendly market, 150 SC is almost impossible to come by. Even if you manage to sell a wolf for way below their worth and do the daily snake quest, that'll only scry like two wolves?? Not to mention an entire litter... you'll spend more for the gene checks than you will to purchase a carrier. 

Support.

I just blew about 750SC that I'd saved up to scry a few of my wolves with mutation lineage. Now it'll probably take me another week or two to save up that amount. It's nice to have a definitive answer, but I'm gonna go broke scrying the pups my carrier ends up having. Getting SC is hard enough as it is. 

Support, would much prefer a slightly lower threshold with where the market is at right now - or hopefully the devs have bigger payouts in mind for the puppy dumping bear and will release it soon. 

Full support. It’s far too expensive - probably in order to encourage the purchase of GC, but there’s better ways to do that than essentially tripling the price of mutation scrying.

Wasting 150SC to find out that the t1 potato you’d hoped was a carrier in fact is not and is just completely useless is one hell of a kick in the teeth/wallet.

support, same here. a lot of the funds used scrying were duds, i scried around 8 and managed to come up with one carrier. w/ the exorbitant price i'd much prefer we revert back to the previous system as said by others, SC is already difficult to obtain

This couldn't have been said better. Support 👏👏

Full and definitive support, this is really frustrating 

Support, this is way too expensive and I deeply regret using the accursed money stealing bat.
