774 Posts	Link to post - Posted October 12th 2021 at 11:26 AM Russel Denton I have few idea's 1- for the wooden and stone blocks we get from casino shop, would it be possible to be able to place tiles on top of the blocks please, 2- i think this idea has been raised before, but it would be nice to utilise our lake on our ranch and island, and allow us to place our water pets on the lake or even put stuff on the lake or buy mini islands so we can decorate it..... 3- the ability to cross-breed our pet doubles to make new pets perhaps 4- CRAZY IDEA ALERT - for NYE, i was thinking we could have a NYE party on AI and it could be a community quest where we have to get party streamers,wine/booze,fireworks, it would go longer then NYE of course though, 5- can we have rewards for having X amount of mounts like we do for pets perhaps 6- the ability to swap unused dust vials for dust vials we need and actually use
3 Posts	Link to post - Posted October 12th 2021 at 12:17 PM EmiTea13 Hello all. I'm copying this from the requests forum as someone suggested, so sorry if it's a double. My suggestion is about rune dust. It would be great to be able to exchange unwanted dust bottles for other ones, even if it was at a loss. For example, I've got a huge stock of dark gray dust bottles, but I don't like to make or use any of the runes that use dark gray. Instead, I like the runes that use light gray. I usually break down the basic colored runes (red/yellow/green/etc.) in hopes of getting light gray, but it's pretty rare. And there's no easy way to make runes that use up my dark gray, to try breaking them down to get white or black, or something else. I sometime just buy dust with bucks, but it still feel like all this dark gray in my inventory is wasted space. I think it would be great to be able to exchange the dusts, like we can with mount feed. Maybe trade any large bottle for a small. Even if only the basic colors were available, I could make basic runes and break then down to get new grays. Then I would be able to unload all this extra dust I don't need. Also, thanks for my fav morning game! I play every day while I have my coffee, and that consistent Bushwhacker/coffee combo has been helping a lot with my stress levels. I wish I could hug all the devs!

I've always liked this idea from a strategic standpoint, but haven't had too many requests for it. Can you go into detail how you'd use this?

If you're unable to place items on them, please submit a support ticket detailing which items you're trying to place on top of them. 2) Placing items on the lake water has been a fairly common request over the years. I haven't gotten around to it because it'll require a bit of tech and investigation to implement, as it doesn't work like normal ranch item placing. 3) While cross-breeding pets is a very cool idea, it would require a lot of art work to look good, since we'd have to account for all different combinations of pets. We could opt for a simpler thing, like changing colour, but even that might require some adjustments to all 800+ pets to make work. 4) A New Years Eve party community quest sounds like lots of fun! Something to consider for sure. 5) I've thought about adding unique mount collection rewards like this. The only thing keeping me from doing so is that the majority of mounts are premium. There's no rotating set of common mounts, like pet generations, making it hard to get the rewards without spending money. 6) Ways to trade/exchange/convert dust vials is one of the ideas we've got for a Alchrafter Certification reward!

And that's so great to hear you play BW2 every morning with your coffee! We're flattered :D

I could look into adding that to those items. It would be a bit of tech time, but I'll note the suggestion down anyways.

170 Posts	Link to post - Posted October 13th 2021 at 1:37 PM Elsastar96 Something that has always had me wondering "Why" is, whilst fishing and fish are caught, why do we not get they energy they give when our energy bar is full?

Super Blueberries are a rare crop that typically only drops in Quester's Satchels. It will be difficult to get lots of them, certainly.

When fishing was first added to the game, its intention was you'd only fish after you'd depleted your day's worth of energy. It's not intended to be a stockpiling activity, but a replenishing activity.
