I've sent a neomail to snarkie regarding a lupe 50% species healer, as well as why the pound is down so much. I asked her to make it a low rarity. I'll update y'all when I get a NM back on Monday.

Thanks.

Why would Snarkie listen to you? And even if you have some connection there, how could Snarkie have enough power to implement game content on her own? And why is a lupe 50% species healer thats low rarity a good thing? Im confused here.

Firstly, because she should listen to neopian game members.D
Secondly, I didn't ask her gto do it, I asked her to ask the BD Staff to do it.
Thirdly, it would mean lupes are on the same par as Lennies, and I'm pretty sure Cranberry and Cragey Vader would love me for that.
Lastly, It has to be low rarity so I can afford it when I get my lupe.
Are you less confuzzled now?

While a Lupe 50% healer would be AWESOME...I'm pretty sure that Snarkie doesn't have enough authority to be telling people what to create next, and that she gets hundreds of neomails every day asking her stuff like this.
A petition on the other hand...=D

I complained talked to her about this a while back (when my battlepet was a lupe, heh). She is not in charge of the BD, but she had my friend and me make a list of all the existing species healers (and the species without them) to prove that there are relatively few cheaper healing options, and she apparently forwarded it along to the person who handles that stuff. Then the Bag of Healing Dust came out, but no other decent species healers. They must have a reason for not releasing a lot of them.

A 50% Lupe healer would make Lupes too good...
a good healer and a good freezer - that'd just be ridiculous !

(maybe giving Grundos something would be better )

I have to say...it doesn't seem quite fair that certain species get both freezers and healers *cough*Lennies*cough*. Lennies are the only ones, though. It seems like Lupes are already at an advantage over most species, having a cheaper Scroll of Freezing on their side. Why not advocate for a species that doesn't have anything, instead of trying to further boost an already-lucky one?

Species with (worthwhile) healers:

Species with (not so great) healers:

Species with (worthwhile) freezers:

Species with (so-so) freezers:

Species with (useless) freezers:

Species with (good) overlap:
Lenny

Species with (okay) overlap:
Elephante
Gelert
Chia

Species with (worthless) overlap:
None, oddly enough

There are actually a couple more species with 50% healers (and there's the Kacheek's, which is unique):

Kacheek Life Potion
Gelert Healing Remedy
Elephante Unguent
Bag of Lenny Healing Seeds
Blumaroo Health Potion
Healing Ankh of the Nimmo
Squishy Shoyru Healing Stone
Lucky Uni Charm

Here's the whole healer list my friend made, which may be slightly out of date now:

Ah, I didn't realize the list I was looking at reached its limit before it had displayed all the 'Once Per Battle' healers. Sorry. I'll fix that.

Lupes deserve a worthwhile healer, and I'm not just saying that because I own one. >_>;;

Lupes already have a huge advantage by being the only pet with a very cheap version of the scroll of freezing. As my battle pet was a lupe before labbing and being morphed into an ugly kacheek for the healer, I definitely wouldn't mind them having a freezer too, but I also don't think it would be very fair. There are many species without freezers, healers, or anything to benefit them in the battledome.
